Recently, Hilary has been tryng to teach me card games. I had a decent idea of how to play blackjack, and that was about it. I didn't grow up playing any card games.

I just finished reading book six and all I can say without writing any spoilers here is HOLY CRAP! I never saw that coming, and I think the seventh book will have a very different feel to it than the others ( Read more... )

Work is madness right now and will likely be until May 5th when the First Hill store closes. We are having a sale and it is well and truly a madhouse unlike anything I have seen before in any of my years working retail. Every day lately I come home quite exhausted. I cannot wait for May 5th ( Read more... )
