Well, I'm back. And caught up on my friends list, even.

Random things, from stuff I did this week:

The Babylon 5 Season 3 credits may just be the best TV credit sequence, ever. I'd forgotten how much I loved them, but the music and imagery are a perfect fit, and I can't help singing along. ... "our last, best hope for peace. It failed. Buh buh BUUH, buh buh BUUH...."
Don't read Janet Evanovich in a public place. Ever. I was reading To the Nines on the plane on the way back to Toronto, and the person sitting next to me was getting a huge kick out of watching me burst into laughter and then try to stifle it before anyone noticed.
I think I've lost my patience for huge fantasy epics with umpteen points of view. I was reading George R.R. Martin's A Storm of Swords, and not only did it take me all week to read it, but I was really, really irritated by all the points of view. I don't think it was a badly written book, but it became really irritating to get involved in a character's story for 15-20 pages, and then get thrown across the continent for someone else's story, and know that I wouldn't be back to the first character for another hundred or even two hundred pages. There are, literally, 15 different POV characters in the story. It's just too many. Although, this aversion to multiple POVs may not be new, now that I think about it. It's why I don't read Robert Jordan or Terry Goodkind, as well.
Surprise parties are fun.
Golf can be fun, too. I played with Mom & Dad, and shot a 98. 'Course, that was only 9 holes...
Newfoundland weather sucks the big one.

I think that's my week in a nutshell. It was relaxing, at the very least.
