A while back I asked for book recommendations. I downloaded a bunch of samples but somehow lost them. I just finished up the song of ice and fire series (blazed through the first three and really had to work through 4 and 5) and I'm trying to remember the other series that was sort of fantasy but with historical basis? What was that?

I finally decide on what to do for a rain bike, and try to order wheels, fork, and a veloce group from Ribble, and my credit card fraud service kicks in and won't let me order. I cleared it up with them, and now have no clue if my order went through or not.
Grrrrr
Grrrrr

I've just had a night's worth of excellent entertainment -- a concert by the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra at the Federation Concert Hall. Very high quality musicians playing Gershwin and Bernstein along with Debussy, Ravel and others. It climaxed with The Great Gate of Kiev, which in typical Russian style was majestic and dramatic.

That black Friday stuff was over rated.
Took this at 10 am yesterday at a local mall. After that walked into a wal-mart got what I needed and got out with no lines at checkout. I feel cheated.

Still kicking.
This year wasn't a total loss, made my mileage goal for the year.

Despite the down time? You need loftier goals next year.

All the shouting and fighting was pretty much over by midnight Thursday at my Target and the store was nearly customer-free between 2 and 6am on Friday. By 630 when I left work, it was starting to pick up again but there were no "doorbuster" deals left so everyone was very mellow. We greeted them with a cheery "Good morning" but they seemed like they mostly wanted coffee and to be left the hell around to wander about.

"Pictures At An Exhibition" is one of my favorite suites and my favorite movement is "The Hut with Chicken Legs" which Wikipedia says is #9 .
