I'm a terrible blogger. I know it. The truth is I keep thinking about creating a new post, but then something bright and shiny distracts me. Like video games and new books!
While my guys were away on their guys-only fishing trip, I spent the weekend snuggling on the couch with the puppy. We watched movies, DVRed programming, and I read a bit. Mostly, though, I played Final Fantasy XIII. I think I'm finally through all of the tutorials. Boy, did that take forever! What I am not through with, though, is a stupid boss fight that I seem incapable of winning. I've attempted to get help with Walkthroughs and Youtube videos, but I've yet to beat Cid. The jerk.
On a happier and less aggravating note, I bought two new books over the weekend.
I have a feeling Soulless will be a quick read. The Lovecraft collection, on the other hand, will probably be a more drawn-out reading experience with lots of interruptions. I don't know why I can't sit down with an anthology and just read it straight through, but I can't. Instead, I'll probably read one or two stories before picking up a novel (probably one in a completely different genre). Then, when I'm finished with that novel, I'll either pick up another novel or return to the anthology for another sampling.
I do this with my Poe anthology, too. Weird, but true.

Wow, I just picked up a Lovecraft collection, too! Must be something in the pollen.
ReplyDeleteI do the same thing with collections. I've been reading this Arthur C. Clarke collection for several years now. It's really good, but for some reason I can't just sit down and read the whole thing. It took me a long time to read my Flannery O'Connor collection, too.
I haven't been playing much FFXIII lately, though, which is kind of sad.
