Ramblings as I drink my coffee

maderrFirst off: Burger King, it's really damn sad the gas station has better coffee than you.
In bookish news, why the bloody fuck is A Strong and Sudden Thaw up for any sort of award? That book made my eyes bleed, and I was trying so goddamn hard to like it. I couldn't even finish it. I finally lost patience at the Shakespeare Sonnet. Ugh. Memo to me, do review for Iris and Torquere books at some point. The world may hate me, but I'm used to it. By god if I have to be the bitchy one, I'll be the bitchy one.
Speaking of good books, when I first read the The Count of Monte Cristo years and years ago, I read the abridged. On finally reading the full version, I come across a scene where "Aladdin" and "Sinbad" enjoy some hashish and Aladdin dreams the statues in the room get frisky with him. Really frisky. I thought I was losing my mind and text Brandie. She didn't remember any dream, so I told her it was Aladdin and Sinbad and she said "oh, yeah. definitely statue fucking" and I cracked up. The rest of the office looked at me like I was crazy and my boss (this is along running joke, my randomly cracking up at shit) said "Megan, didn't we talk about this?"
So I had to explain what I found so funny.
I do so love this book.
The weather fucking blows today. *sigh*
All right, now to figure out what to write. I think I shall try to focus on Chaos, though someone asked about Black Magic the other day and I would love to work on that.
