It’s one of those weeks: I’ve just been feeling half-asleep, apathetic, can’t concentrate on my work. This morning I arrived and I noticed 10 mins after walking into the office that half my dress was still undone at the front! Chrissakes. Luckily I was wearing a shirt underneath and a big scarf over it, and everyone was focussed on their compscreen so hopefully no one noticed! I just felt like O_o. How can you not check if your dress is done up?!

I need a holiday!

Here's me sparing you my further whinging )

I did get a chance to watch SPN 6x06 of course! Third episode in a row which I really enjoyed (Angst, yeah, bring it on!). Maybe the show really has recovered from S5 sucktitude? Looking forward to more more more again.

Yesterday I watched Percy Jackson & The Lightning Thief. The movie was pretty formulaic in storyline, but I’ve always had a thing for Greek Mythology so I enjoyed the creativity in fitting the old stories into a modern wrapper, and have an affinity to young heroes discovering their ability. So now I’m wondering if I should maybe read the books. Are they worth reading (like HP was) or are they written exclusively to a younger audience?

PS. 2 days until I get Towers of Midnight in the mail!! W0000000T!

I'm in India at the moment, on holiday, having a good and fascinating (and sometimes very confronting and bizarre) time, but I just got an email by a friend which told me that unfortunately Robert Jordan has passed away.

I started reading Jordan's books when I was sixteen and have reread them many, many times. I've grown up and lived and breathed those books these past ten years. I once got to see Jordan here in Holland at a book signing, and he was a very gracious and kind man. A great writer has left us, and he will be very much missed.

I hope the concluding book (part 12), when it's released in its final form, will do justice to Jordan's vision and bring his epos to a satisfying and perfect ending.

My good wishes are with his family. What sad news.
