Mid Week

It's Wednesday. Am quite fond of Wednesdays aside from having been born on one and thereby being doomed to be full of woe. If the work week is like a hill, then Wednesday's the peak and after this it's all downhill and there's the weekend and Eastercon next week. It'll be good to have a weekend since last week ended up being a seven day work week and I'm feeling quite disoriented now as a result. It's usually quite muddly enough due to working at a newspaper and always working on something for tomorrow but weekends tend to break things up quite nicely and give them a shape.

The plus side of having a job with odd hours is that it offers lots of reading time. Okay ... so they also give us a monthly book allowance and insane amounts of free food. Science Fiction and Fantasy is beginning to make it's presence felt here finally. It used to be tucked away in one corner of bookstores and people who browsed that section would be viewed with a great deal of suspicion but now you have nice big sections properly shelved except Neil Gaiman keeps ending up in the horror section for some reason I have yet to work out though Lovecraft always makes it into Fantasy.

And the icing on the cake is the fact that Borders has opened a store right near where I live so there's no longer the need to get in my car and brave the horrors of downtown traffic snarls. Not so very good as far finances go though but then again it's books. Oh, it's good to see Munquie here again (waves happily).
