Now, back to Wood-news.

Yesterday, Becky and I took a trip down to Hyannis to see Jeremy’s new apartment. We had dinner with him and Angela, which was very nice, and we went to an ice cream place afterwards that I last visited when I was, well… younger. Can’t remember exactly when, but definitely at some point before I had my driver’s license. 🙂

Friday night, Becky and I went out to dinner at (the recently renamed) Vinny T’s of Boston, browsed (the recently remodeled) A.C. Moore, and watched (the recently released) Bend It Like Beckham at (the recently overpriced) Hollywood Hits. (Note – the prices on that website aren’t at all accurate, unfortunately)

My current read is Peter F. Hamilton’s The Reality Dysfunction: Part 1 – the first in a galaxy-spanning series of science fiction novels. It’s been a while since I have dug into a real hard-science-fiction novel, so it’s very refreshing. I also recently finished the dark and bizarre, but good, Perdido Street Station. If you’re into bizarre races, crisis theory, and dystopian steampunk weird fiction…. check it out. 😉

And now, to finish the laundry. Ta-ta!

    Let me know how The Reality Dysfunction is. I may give it a try one of these days…. though I have plenty of books here that I haven’t read yet.
