just wanting to assert my continued existence....

I'm not dead yet!

Roller derby season is finally *gasp* over. Well kind of. But not really. A couple trips away for travel bouts over the summer. And RollerCon. And MNLynx games we'll be promoting at. And parades and demo bouts at block parties. And board meetings. And sponsorship meetings. And planning for the fall for it to start all over again

Glad to hear you're alive and kicking. Maybe now you'll finally read that evite I sent you weeks ago! (for this upcoming Saturday... perhaps April can give you the details at work tomorrow?)

I've totally read it1!! :) tho I think it was thru Lisa's evite...

I'm trying to make the magic work for Saturday. There's also our first Lynx game that we're doing an NSRG promo at that evening (and lucky me is the organizer so I might not be able to get out of going) and a damn Kilmore girls baby shower for Gargamella and Scary Moon Zombie!!!! grrrrrr....so hopefully can drop in on the early end of things !

No, I read the NSRG web site.

If you have time is your newly freed up schedule (ha ha!), could you make me a list of books you enjoy. I know we've read some of the same stuff, and I am always looking for more books to devour.

I'll be looking into Nancy Kresses (Nancy Kress?), have a suggestion on where to start?

Thanks!

ohai my darling dawny darko!

I used to keep a running list of books-I've-read in my LJ User Info, but I've fallen off that wagon and stopped listing. What I really need/want is something to integrate into my online word - ideally thru google gadgets or some such that lets me easily track books I've read and books wanting to read. I'm sure there is such an animal and I just haven't the wherewithall to dig it up. I should ask my friend the BookGoddess when we meet up Thursday.

I'd say for Nancy Kress, start with Beggars in Spain. It's the first in a threesome - and very good. Not over tech heavy in that it won't drown you in technobabble but enough to be good and chewy, and just great exploration of social issues in a future that looks at the foregone conclusions of genetic modification of humanity. Maximum Light is a standalone that I'm in the middle of right now too, and she's got some more humans-in-space novels too that are in my queue.

Thanks, I'll take a look at your neglectecd JL book list.

I enjoyed my first venture into "Cyber punk" a few years ago with Snow Crash, but haven't read much of anything else (tried Cryptonomicon right after Hunter was born, but was too sleep deprived to get very far), so Beggars in Spain sounds like a good next step (and I love the idea of needing no sleep at all. I try it sometimes, but it never works very well).

Facebook has a thingy called BookShelf to keep track of your read and want to read books.. but then you have to use facebook.. oh the horror.

Tin Lizzy!

I graduated, and I'm moving back to Minneapolis in less than three weeks. I will be back in Minneapolis just in time to turn 30! I can't wait to see you!
