I Need a Nap

[anogete]

I finished The Wizard of Earthsea this afternoon at work. It was much better than I anticipated. I'll probably start The Tombs of Atuan tomorrow if I'm not being too much of a lazy bum. The only other thing I have on the agenda is a trip to the gun range for some shooting practice. I'd really like a kick-ass revolver, but I shouldn't be dropping so much cash on firearms.

We took Jason's grandma out for dinner this evening at one of our favorite places. She really enjoyed it and seems to be doing reasonably well consider what she's been through in the past few weeks.

I snapped a couple pictures of wacky hot air balloons while I was on my way to work this morning. The Balloon Fiesta park is only a few blocks from my office, so all the balloons tend to float over the road I take to work each morning.

Both pictures were taken with my cell, so they aren't great quality. The first was taken while I was driving, which explains the odd angle. I still don't know what the little black and white man balloon was. He looks vaguely Asian. The second picture was taken in front of my office. You can't tell from the picture, but it was a turtle. Once a year turtles fly over our building.





I didn't capture the hundreds of other balloons floating about the sky this morning. I didn't want to be a doof and pull over on the side of a road to get a shot.

I finished The Tombs of Atuan last night, and I *loved* it. I thought about renting the Sci-Fi movie just for kicks, but after reading so many negative things about it (even on Ursula K. LeGuin's own website), I decided to just live with the wonder that is the novels and forget the movie ever existed. I'll just be pissy if I watch it.
