(no subject)

I am getting impatient with the computer. It happens, generally about once every six months. There's a relatively minor trigger event, and then I just don't want anything to do with it for a week or two. This time, unlike in the past, I'm in several games (not to mention the work for H^3), so it's more difficult to just walk away for a while, like I usually do. Added to other Stuff, it makes me impatient, grumpy, and bored. Hence the 'bleh' in my previous post.

I've been playing around with my tarot deck again, after a long, long hiatus. I think I'd like to study up on cold-reading again, maybe put myself back into the swing of things. It's a fun hobby, especially once you get a good enough grasp of body language, patter, and showmanship to make it mildly impressive. I've never gotten beyond mildly impressive; I never can manage to quite project the air of taking it all that seriously. I may go and pick up a book or two on it when I go back to the library.

Speaking of, I finished 'Cerulean Sins', and I sigh. There were some /really/ /nifty/ subplots in there, but they were almost completely ignored for the hawt suupernatuural sexx0rz. And that's just sad, because Hamilton /is/ a good writer. Hell, I even enjoy her sex scenes. But it's not what drew me to the Anita Blake books, and I'd really like her to go back to the mysteries.

I'll probably start on 'Altered Carbon' tonight. It's the last of the rented library books (For solaas, 'Ring' is /really/ bizarre, and has some very interesting elaborations from the movie.) and promises to be rather interesting. Hard-core cyberpunk detective novel. I'm a sucker for that blend. Or, for that matter, fantasy/detective blend. Or just detective novels. I like puzzles.
