I finished the 5th Wheel of Time book today… review:
The Fires Of Heaven, By Robert Jordan, 989 pages
This book still follows our cast as they get even more into their fight with the evil Forsaken.. we learn a lot more about these Forsaken in this book, their powers and limitations. Our Hero Rand, the Dragon rebord, also grows a lot in this book… the effects of being “partly” Lews Therin takes a toll most noticibly here. Mat also deals with past memories that are not his own, these memories recieved when he journeyed into Rhiuidean with Rand, and these are explored in a little more depth and we finally see their uses. The White Tower splits further and makes the mission of the young Accepteds Elayne and Nynaeve a bit more difficult. Perrin fans would be diasspointed to note that his story is not part of this book, besides casual references to his well-being by other characters. In all Jordan continues to do a good job keeping the reader’s interest and revealing secrets that give much more depth to each character.
I started reading Dune this afternoon ’cause I hadnt yet and it’s one of those scifi books that everyone just HAS to read…
I woke up pretty early this morning surprisingly, tried to sleep more until i finally got up around 10ish.. read the last 200 or so pages of the 5th WoT book, then had a bit of a sinus headache so I was lying down for a good bit of the afternoon.. which sucked. Sometimes I think I’d rather be sick in any other way other than a headache… at least with an upset stomach I can watch tv, or read, or even use the computer… with a headache I just need to take lots of medicine and wait it out by lying in bed, bleh, so boring…
I dunno if we’ll do anything this weekend… s’ok if we don’t I guess, it’s been nice out lately so I can get out to take walks, and I guess I can settle for that as “getting out of the house” Heh… the house hunt still goes on. We’re gonna call next week to see how much of a loan we can get approved for, fun fun! Then we can seriously get down to business with buying a house… we’re still really want a fireplace and loft, but it’s just so hard to find. At least with a loan approved we can find our house and be sure to get it … and hopefully be able to move before the lease is up here in december.
I did a little playing around with the mp3 collection yesterday… we moved them to another computer (since one of clockbot’s harddrives was dying, we got the mp3s off of it luckily). I moved all the mp3s from my computer (r2) their new home on Minute, I still need to go through them and fix the names of a few so they are all pretty, but I generated a new list for my site in the meantime… we counted them at like 1557 mp3s %D anyway the list is here:

Now I’m gonna go waste some time chatting %D *wanders off*
