...better than money will get you through a time of no libraries.
Off to the library today, dump an armful of dead books and prowl around for sexy new ones. Wife and I work a different library rotation, so I'm still reading one of hers (Jasper Fforde's new "Jack Sprat" series, THE BIG OVER EASY.) I'm afraid I gave up on one of mine, Ken MacLeod, because I just wasn't interested in the characters. Please, writer-people, spend as much time on your characters as you do on the world-building and the gee-whiz.
Still chilly, barely above freezing, still windy. I'm afraid that spring looks depressingly like winter around here.
And Fat Wizard has finally figured something out. Took him long enough. Problem is, now he's going to do something stupid about it. I generally allow my characters _one_ (1) stupid per book. Too many, and I get irritated. If you end up as a character some time, don't irritate your author. It makes us do nasty things to you in revenge.
