Dec. 3rd, 2011 10:29 pmWork is perhaps ever so slightly better. In that I am starting to know a little bit more how to do stuff. I'm still working late almost every night though.
Today I had to buy another suit for work. I only owned my one interview suit. Luckily all the christmas sales were going on so I got a $140 suit for about $50. Woo!
I did a little bit of gift shopping after that, and then came home to take a nap. I spent the rest of the night rebuilding my holiday music playlist because the old file didn't work on windows. *sigh*
Now I have two puppies happily asleep under a blanket on my lap.

Book: Fire and Hemlock
Dec. 3rd, 2011 10:43 pmNot sure how I feel about this one. It was well-written, but I didn't like the story much. Although nothing illegal happens, the relationship between Polly (a very young girl) and Tom (an adult man) was just too creepy for me to enjoy the book.
I did find the whole divorce plot interesting though. I've been lucky enough to have no firsthand knowledge of what a divorce could be like, so Polly's parents' divorce was an interesting point of view.
Overall, I give this one a resounding Meh. But if you're interested in old folk tales like Tam Lin or Thomas the Rhymer, you'd probably enjoy it more. According to the internet, this story is essentially a modern retelling of those stories.
