back from the northwest

I’m back home again! I spent a large part of my vacation shopping for books and reading. I think I finished reading 6 1/2 books and 4+ volumes of manga while on vacation. Sometimes I forget how quickly I can tear through a novel given blocks of uninterrupted time, especially when I’m reading some not very taxing fantasy/sci-fi. I finished a bunch of Sharon Shinn novels, and I also read Howl’s Moving Castle and am half of the way through Perdido Street Station. I went shopping at Kinokuniya and picked up some stationary and Read or Die manga.

I also enjoyed bringing music to my relatives by singing the Spiderman Song. I’m sure hearing that song over and over again only built up the anticipation for the movie.

Now I have to play catch-up at work and get a ton of stuff done before I go on vacation again at the end of the month 😉
