From His Wide Grin, It Can Be Surmised She Sat Directly On His Face...

First off, Happy Birthday [livejournal.com profile] burningvigor! I really hope you have a good one!

With a new filter for the heater, the burning dog smell should dissipate. Not sure what to do about the noise. When it's gearing itself up, it sounds as though the proverbial monkeys on typewriters are hacking away at Shakespeare in there. And then comes the 'FWOOMP!' and the dull roaring sound.

Not exactly the most soothing of white noises, let me assure you! But the house is warm. And with temperatures dropping below freezing at night, that's the important thing.

I hung some more of my art and whatnot on my walls. Ah, there's nothing quite like waking up to the adoring faces of a gaggle of Sailor Scouts, gazing down upon you. I chose the right place for that poster. ;)

I think I'm finally feeling better. I spent the night with vapor rub slathered all over me, and it's made quite the difference in my breathing this morning. I may need to repeat this process.

I had some flash of brilliance last night, on how to maximize space in my room without blocking the door, but sadly it's gone.

I finished Death Mask! Definitely my favorite of the Dresden File novels so far. But everyone - including random internet strangers - is telling me that Blood Rites is the best. So I shall have to get my hands on that!

I started, in the meantime, From The Empire, the first of the Trinity Blood novels. Abel is adorably lecherous! I don't remember him being lecherous in the anime! Granted, it's been some time since I saw it... Catherina kicks ass, Alessandro is just plain adorable, and I'm looking forward to seeing the original incarnations of all my other favorite characters.

I think that about wraps it up for me!

Hah. This random internet stranger would like to say she is of the opinion that there /is/ no one best book of The Dresden Files (because they're all great). On the other hand, if you're a big time Thomas-fan, Blood Rites may cause you to make some noise while reading it. (I don't want to spoil anything, so I'll keep it vague like that.)

*might have replied to some other aspect of your post but got distracted by the shiny mention of The Dresden Files*

They really are all awesome books! :D I'm terribly glad a friend sent me the first two.

I have heard so much vague stuff about this next book and I'm itching to get my hands on it! Need moar Dresden!
