On the plus side of things, I just finished a new book. It's called Bloodsucking Fiends; A Love Story written by Christopher Moore. It is about a romantic would-be writer named Tom Flood from the mid-West who moves to San Francisco for adventure. And quickly enough he meets Jody, a recently turned vampire. From there you follow the (mis)adventures of the two, as they struggle with the complexities of a monster/human relationship while battling a Fiend many centuries old. On the whole, a very satisfying book. Especially knowing there is more to come with the sequel You Suck; A Love Story. I just ordered it from amazon today!
I've also read The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Grove by Moore, and it is quite good to. Definitely a similar vane to Tom Robbins, only not quite is intricate and hard to follow. As one critic put it, "...the impatient man's Robbins."
Anyways, going to go do some bouldering in Colin's gym for a little while now. One must keep fit, after all.
