...Annnnd suddenly I find myself bereft of a good fiction read. Have plenty of non-fiction since I'm currently reading three of them, but I always need fiction. So, flist, any suggestions? :D I'm always up for fantasy, light-hearted, sub-texty romance, and beautifully crafted worlds.

I think I've fallen off the manga bandwagon for the moment, although webcomics have become a new addiction. Specifically Questionable Content. Now I want my best friend to open up a coffee shop called Coffee of Doom someday so I can have a bookstore called Book of Horrors right next to it. With a door in between so you can wander back and forth.

( RL-ish, so under cut )

I seriously need some feel-good reading material, guys. Preferably somewhat short and sweet. I've got three hours before he comes home and I can tell him the bad news and we can figure out what's next, and I need some serious, Prozac-strength distraction.

Link me, please! *begs*

Bah. I really don't want to go to work. It's too cold outside to walk.

I need tea. *wanders off*

I totally wrote this short, sweet, ultimately sappy Kuro/Fai thing and went to type it up and WHOOPS it's up at my mother-in-law's locked apartment because my husband took the keys to work with him. Not to mention he didn't feed the cats before he left. The poor, hungry kitties! *fumes* And I find myself completely unable to write fanfiction without my notebook. I need to work on that.

Roommate is watching The Boondock Saints. There is something disturbingly hilarious about William Defoe in drag.

Back to surfing iPod for fst songs.

Husband has returned from the burning inferno that is San Diego. Relief has made me become a flurry of productivity. ( I finally finished Because Love #9. )

iambic? I am now obsessed with coming up with FSTs and it's all your fault. :P

The last of my family leaves tonight. I've reached a weekend where I might get something done. I just got off from 12.5 hrs work between two jobs. And I don't have the energy to even attempt my flist, given that this is the first time my computer's been on in a week.

( And quite frankly, this post is an excuse for my inner-fangirl to start going Eeeee! Eeeee! because I just finished my book and Sharon Shinn is Awesomeness Personified. )

... I just spent two hours to get this custom mood theme to work, and for some reason, it doesn't. Once it got all up, they won't show up anymore. This is not in the happy, goddamnit.

EDIT: Never mind.

Just finished The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman. Cut for spoilers. ( OMG. )

Why cannot I not write lately? *fumes* Real-life die down please? My creativity is suffering. I MISS MY FANDOMS. And I still can't find my xH 2. *more fuming* Oh, xxxHOLiC, where are you? I need you so.

I have never seen a cat have so much fun with a simple hair-tie. My furniture is suffering.

EDIT: baka_taru is lending me his xH2 because he is made of awesomeness and enjoys free coffee.
