Work has been fairly quiet at the moment. Well not quiet, just been a lack of anything that new or interesting. Though I will remind myself of the curse "maybe you live in interesting times" as interesting can usually be a very bad thing.
Amazon have been speedy and delivered my fresh new copy of Judas Unchained to me. Which along with Pandora's Star makes for a fair sized book two with just the two of them alone. As much as I want to sink my teeth into it, I actually have another book in my sights first. I've started Cryptonomicon. I've only read Stephenson's Snow Crash because it's his famous work. Or at least, interenet famous anyway. I had forgotten what his writing style is like, but I have no problems with being hit over the head with the information stick. My final views might pop up here if I remember to air them.
Also I've had the change to try some American chocolate. The stuff is.... ok. Very odd and more like some sort of chocolate based thing rather than actually chocolate. I can't say I'm much of one to talk as I don't like real, high coco chocolate. But still, I certainly wouldn't swap out British chocolate for Hershey's.
A few other purchases from the weekend. Watain's Lawless Darkness, now this is what I call summer music. Plus it has some very awesome album art and I will once again say that hand done album art is generally the best there is. I might have to blog on my views about album art (oddly enough metal and prog art good, lots of other styles bad. Shocking that). Also picked up the first series of Dexter because I haven't re-watched it in years and the show it good.
