It's taken me four hours to complete a rather simple Risk Assessment assignment. I officially had a shit day.

To wit-
1. I was late to clinical by a hour and a half. Was supposed to get there for 7AM. Woke up at 6:45. Yay.
2. Left my two assignments for clinical at home, and had to scramble to complete them while a fellow student was waiting for me to assist him with bathing a patient.
3. Did sump'tin to my left ("good") knee while rushing to clinical, because it's achy as a mofo.
4. Have a subcutaneous (read "unpoppable") pimple on my forehead right below my hairline roughly the size of Mt. Everest. You know, one of the types you can feel throbbing as you go about your day.
5. Keep thinking about things like "nutsicles", "nutsackulicious", "neuticles" (thanks [livejournal.com profile] faedrake, you're a real mensch , *smile*) and any bit of ridiculousness that can be riffed off of "nut sack" (yesterday I kept repeating "Grab life by the testicles!", so I suppose this can be seen as either progress or major regression).
6. Have to face an incredibly shrinking Krishna, and a family that can give two craps about whether or not she actually eats.
7. Fucking YANKEES are losing!!(!!!!111) Anaheim can suck these nuts(icles).

*sigh*

Weekend wasn't too horrible. Went to AC, lost all my money in a record one hour. Stayed in the hotel, took a jacuzzi bath for the first time (didn't really live up to the hype), got a great view of the beachfront, want to return if only for the view. Celebrated mom's b-day in a Brazilian bar-b-que joint that sucked you-know-what. What? people don't eat grilled animal flesh on Sunday nights, peoples?

I need help. And sexin'. Perhaps not in that order.
Maybe I just need help.

Anyway, everyone likes to click on things. Help a sista out here.

I've started on Eragon and wasn't too happy with it, but I'm not adverse to picking it up again. Same thing goes for Luck in the Shadows. The awkward exposition is proving to be a major roadblock to my getting beyond the first 15 pages. Game of Thrones would be a re-(re-re-)read in anticipation of the upcoming new book in the series. The rest I have in my possession but haven't even flipped through yet.

Currently, I'm reading the Dan Brown books [on Digital Fortress just now], and I've read a fair bit of Tom Clancy.
Read a few Star Wars books, and a small number of Stephen King.
Read all the Terry Pratchett Discworld books [not really fantasy, more medieval with 'modern' technology].
Beyond that, I don't have a "genre" I read. I've just never been advised to read much fantasy stuff.

UK release for Storm of Crows is this Monday. I'll be waiting until I get it. Especially since I've not read the previous...

Feast of Crows, you mean? Dammit. You guys always get the cool stuff first. Amazon says November 8th for us across the pond.

I keep hearing about Discworld but I've never read it. The number of books in the series is sort of daunting.

A Feast for Crows, it turns out to be...
It's because I'm awaiting Storm of Swords...

It's rare for us to get things before you lot, so I think we'll savour this one [even if I don't get the chance]


The Discworld series is great. Funny as hell.["+ Mine, WAAAAH! +"] The first couple of books I'd only recommend, though, as an introduction to the universe. They're just not as good as the later ones.
I'd also recommend reading them in order.
They're not difficult reads, and if you have the time, they'll only take a day or so each to read - the early ones less

And, I have just discovered from my Fantasy fan friend, Cara, that got me into GRRM that A Feast for Crows was released today
