Mellow Thursday
May. 4th, 2006 12:37 pmGodfather and aunt came over yesterday and though three member of the family were missing, our evening still felt like all those times when we were on vacation all together - it felt like summer; the weather was warm, we were all lazying around in the garden, then we did a little BBQ and dude, it smelt of vacation, you know? Also, moxa was done again and it makes me laugh that every three weeks, for twenty minutes, the house smells like a coffee shop in Amsterdam lol
I'm all mellow today - I'm having a busy day but I don't mind. It's a good kind of busy, I guess, and there's something in the air... it just makes me all calm and relaxed and stuff. More than usual, I mean :-)
Changing the subject. I have many ways of finding a new book to read but one that I always find funny is the Fate one. When it feels that fate wanted me to read a particular book. It happens when someone mentions a book I've never heard about before and right after that someone else does. It's like I've ignored the existence of that book for twenty-six years and in the course of ten minutes - or sometimes a day, whatever, a relatively short period of time - I hear about it in two different places. I usually think it's fate so I check it out at least and then decide whether I want to cooperate.
That's what happened with As Meat Loves Salt by Maria McCann. Last night, I was friendfriends surfing and someone talked about that book - I didn't exactly think anything of it except that less than an hour later, I was poking around![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
highwaymiles and bam! Someone else mentioned it in their story notes and, okay, fate was at play, see? So I checked it out and it does sounds intriguing. Though from the reviews, should I read it, I'll have to remember to have a light and fluffy book in handy once I'm done *takes notes*
And speaking of lit and stuff, it reminds me that I totally forgot to mention something that amused me in Smoke and Mirrors - the fact that two of the stories are titled "Mouse" and "Babycakes". Though dude, while the former was disturbing enough, it was nothing compared to the latter. It's incredibly short but so very powerful and disturbing beyond words *shudder*
PS: Can't believe that tomorrow at the same time, SPN S1 will be over and done with *sobs*
