what I love about southern california

Fresh tangy citrus fruit off one of our five trees (or the neighbor's which are hanging into our backyard). Yummmmmmmmmmm . . . And add to that that it's a beautiful day outside (70 degrees, clear skies).

I think I'm going to die if I move somewhere cold in the fall. I'll need my parents to mail me boxes of fruit.

If I had my bike at home (I left it at school) today would be a perfect day for a bike ride. I would love to spend some time outside. I'd take the dog for a walk but his leg is still bothering him from his arthritis attack. :(

Maybe I'll take my book and go read outside. It would be such a shame to waste such a beautiful day!

another book review

I now have yet more evidence that I far prefer female fantasy authors to men. After the fiasco with George RR Martin's book, I picked up Carol Berg's "Transformation." Finished in about a day and a half, with many breaks for other things that had to be taken care of. Definitely a good book.

It's about a slave and demons and princes and other such things. Slashy but not slash, for those of you who care. I recommend it. I think she wrote some sequels that I'll have to look into.

Of course, this doesn't explain why my neck is sore. On another note, Metzler is letting me borrow the violins until next Tuesday! Woohoo! Leaning towards the Anderson now . . .
