MCOQueen's Ramblings

The Following is completely vague and generalized.  No specific details.  I finished reading "For A Few Demons More" last night.  I must say that Kim Harrison keeps getting better and better.  There were certain moments that I could not stop laughing for five minutes straight.  Several events/meetings that I wanted to see happen finally did happen in the book.  Only one event that I wanted did not occur.  I was a bit sad for one character at the end of the book.

 I discussed the book a little bit with insignia_void today.  I totally forgot to bring the book for her. It didn't even occur to me to bring it today.  For some reason, Void and I want to see Trent and Rachel hook up eventually, but we both agree that they have very strong conflicting personalities and it just wouldn't work out for them.  I just don't think it's going to happen. 

I also finished reading "Chick and the Dead" which is the 2nd book in the Pepper Martin paranormal mystery series by Casey Daniels.  "Don of the Dead" was a very good book and I liked this one just as much.  It seems that even though the mystery gets solved, I am still left wanting answers for certain things in the book.  I guess it's the author's way of getting me to read the next one.  I'm cool with that as long as I get some answers eventually.  (It's not good to string along and keep people guessing for too long or they will lose interest, i.e. "Lost".)  I really can't stand to have things left hanging or unanswered.  This is the reason why I won't watch or read anything by Rumiko Takahashi.  I also gave up on Naruto for this very reason.  It is also the reason why I hate the ending of Hana-kimi so much. 


I watched the latest episode of "Blood Ties".  This episode was okay.  I'm kind of hoping more will happen between Vicki and Henry in the next few episodes.  The latest episode of the "Dresden Files" was pretty good.  I just love Paul Blackthorne.  He's an awesome Harry.  I can't wait to watch the latest episode of "Dancing with the Stars" when I get home tonight.  My mom has been watching this show from the very first season apparently.  I just recently joined the bandwagon.  I really love that show.

Well, back to work.

Later.

I have been searching for the past week for a winter coat and cannot find one in any store.  Today I was at the mall and couldn't find anything but rain jackets.  I can't find a damn coat, but I can find a ton of swimwear for the summer right now.  Okay, seriously, how messed up is that?  I guess I'll just have to wait until summer to buy a winter coat.  Damn stupid stores.  Oh well, enough ranting.  I did buy two new pairs of New Balance tennis shoes.  I got one half off from Rack Room Shoes.  Since I wear the same pair of tennis shoes every day, I'm really supposed to buy a new one every 6 months.  I usually wait until my feet feel like their scraping against the floor before I buy new ones.  I'm wearing a new pair right now and I can really feel the difference.

I went to the Cheesecake Factory today with my cousin.  We ended up ordering too much and so had to box up a good bit of our food to take home.  I have a really nice meal to eat tonight.  I'm currently at work right now.  Today seems to be a very light day in Satellite which is a nice break from the insane amount of promos I had to dub on Friday.  For dinner, I have Cashew Chicken and rice and for a snack I have fresh guacamole and tortilla chips.  Yum!    I had the fresh strawberry shortcake for dessert at the restaurant. 

Because I don't want to manually type in all the ISBN numbers for my books, I have decided to finally buy the laser scanner from Collectorz.com for my Book Collector software.  This scanner will work with any of their software.  I also decided to get Movie Collector, MP3 collector, and Game collector along with it because the more you bundle the more you save.  I can't wait to completely organize all my stuff and this time I will save the databases and BURN them on a cd or maybe even 3 cds.  Better safe than sorry.  I learned that the hard way. 

I'm not going to be able to go to sleep tonight until probably 7 or 8 am.  I'm going to be dropping off my cousin at the airport.  Her flight's at 8:15 but it is an international flight so she needs to be there at least 2 to 2 and a half hours early.  Hmmm, I will be needing some caffeine tonight.
