Friday Five

1.  We watched the finale of Battleslar Galactica on the weekend.  I liked some parts of it, and got annoyed at the sloppy writing in other parts.  No spoilers here, but it bugs me that the writers didn’t really know where they were going with plots (and didn’t really utilise some cool threads of plot that could have had an awesome ending).  Still, I am sad that the show has ended.

2.  I am currently reading Peter F Hamilton’s Pandora’s Star which is proving to be incredible so far.  I’m not a huge SF fan these days, but I love Hamilton’s books.  Even though each one is roughly the size of my head.

3.  I also read Guy Gavriel Kay’s Isabel and Carrie Ryan’s Forest of Hands and Teeth during the week.  Both were fantastic.  It’s nice to see that books like Forest of Hands and Teeth can be hyped like crazy and still be really good.

4.  I hardly did any writing this week, thanks to feeling like crud for most of it.  However, I managed to sit down for a half hour this afternoon and write for a half hour.  It’s not much, but it’s something.  I think my brain is actually appreciating the break, to be honest.  It’s nice to catch up on some reading.

5.  I am currently obsessed with the Tori Amos song 1000 Oceans for no reason at all.
