Back in the north
Jun. 9th, 2011 11:16 amI very much enjoyed my time in the south. I got to spend time with my family and generally laze around going swimming, weeding the garden, etc, and mostly keep away from my computer, which was good. Mom and I enjoyed each other's company and only had minor squabbles, and my sister had an awesome new boyfriend whom I hope she'll stay with.
I could have stayed there two more weeks, but instead I'm back at work and I have deadlines. /o\ Still having to ration my computer time due to various aches and pains, and I'm afraid work eats up most of it. This week I'm going camping with friends in a nature-reserve-to-be. Here's hoping we catch lots of fish to eat and that the mosquitoes aren't too bad.

andeincascade recorded a birthday podfic for me which I have finally been able to listen to, and I love her reading, as always! Thank you so much, Ande. It's one of my own stories, and is Fraser and Dief gen.
In other news, I'm watching "Deadwood" and really enjoying it. I can also rec some audiobooks: C J Cherryh's "Foreigner" series. They're basically SF books about inter-species diplomacy, and I love the reader's style. They seem to be older audiobooks, old enough that she says "turn the tape" occasionally. Strangely, the few other older audiobooks I've listened to have also been exactly to my taste. I wonder if this is a coincidence (I don't have a large sample) or if audiobook styles have changed over time.
