Death comes for us all (a melodramatic haiku of retirement)
Alas! this blog is
no longer where it is at.
Onwards! (Back to home.)



guts and garters

It's all fun and games until someone loses molecular cohesion.

All hail Rowena, because she found the information required to make the comments behave themselves again. Good comments. Sit. Stay.

Tomorrow (today) I will start playing with things again, as we redesign and Jen moves in with me. Yes, there will be two of us here. And hence, there will be changes, and things.

Meanwhile, after 500 pages, Robin Hobb's Liveship series is really failing to move me. Sure, it's interesting, it's well-told (mostly; what's with the amateur faux-pas POV shifts mid-scene?) and it's a fairly good story but... well, it's a trifle dull. The characters are all very interesting, in a small, insignificant sort of way. And really, it just isn't well enough written to make me read in spite of that (unlike Chaz Brenchley's Tower of the King's Daughter, about the characters and plot of which I didn't give a fuck, but just read for the prose).

So yeah, I think I'm throwing in the towel on this series. I just don't have enough spare reading time to waste on stuff that isn't riveting. I could be reading Guy Gavriel Kay, dammit. (John, you can have your books back, then.)
