Weekend, please be better

[fredericks]

Overall shitTASTIC Friday. No more comments on that matter besides what's in the subject line. I think I spend too much time ruminating over what I've failed and not enough time feeling accomplished when I do things well. Or not. I don't know. Screw it: Bring on the drunken costumed dancing.

I picked up the first book in the "Percy and the Olympians" series The Lightning Thief a little while back after it was recommended by captainschlumpy but only got around to reading it today (it's likely that I was influenced by emily_goddess's tasteful squeeing over the upcoming movie). Anyway, I started it on the subway ride into the office and was hooked from the first *sentence*. I've never been sucked into a book that fast before. Funny true moment - a high schooler sat down next to me reading either the same book or another book in the series and gave me his opinion ("that's a good book"). On the way home I picked up the other available four books and intend to get as far through things as possible this weekend.

Some folks use Calgon, some folks use young adult fiction. I prolly could do with a double team at this point.

Heh. I read that and I thought to myself "wow, Dresden not angsting two full pages about Thomas's feeding. Yeah, that'll happen. *snort*." Funny premise, though.
