Right. Now, for the record, I feel like I may have injected unwarranted drama into your LJ-lives. Oops. I, for one, am happy to be able to Intarweb so soon.
So, I should have two days of news for you. Just my luck that I'd be in a drug-induced sleep for the most exciting part of yesterday, in which a number of masked persons attacked me with pointy objects in a rather cold room.
So, instead, I get to talk about the rest. They kept me in overnight, which means that I spent $5 for the privelege of watching TV and convinced my visiting parents to buy me a new hairbrush and a copy of American Gods, which is a lovely and interesting tale. I'd give you a little summary, but we all know what Thoth thinks of maps. Still! Enjoyable. Between it and Smoke and Mirrors, I'm rather looking forward to Neverwhere, probably after a brief stopover with Sourcery.
But on with the tale. I think my eyes are now sensitive to a thousand different shades of white, and I don't think I've ever had the misfortune of drinking quite so much slightly warm tea. I've been poked and prodded inappropirately by people getting paid for the privelege, and pushed around altogether too much for my liking.
So, now, why am I typing this so soon when I said there'd be at least another day or two before I'd be able to? That, dear friends, fans and stalkers, is a result of the surgeon's decision not to perform the procedure that I'd actually consented to. Instead, a far less invasive version with the same results was favoured instead. The benefits? I get all my friends back sooner, I still have a stack of books to read at my leisure, and there's not one stitch to be taken out.
And that's about it for that, really, unless you want the intimate details of them losing my notes, my chart, and then both at the same time.
But that's enough about me for the moment. What have you all been up to? LJ-Stalkers, this question includes you - is there anything you've posted that you think I should read? A new comm you think I should join? Just point the way with linky goodness, and I'll see to it.

Date: 2005-07-28 11:48 pm (UTC)I've only read Neverwhere, Stardust, American Gods and the Sandman graphic novels thusfar... I'm bad. I need to read the Death GNs, as well as Coraline at some point.
Oh, and I've read Good Omens. Which is an absolute must-read if you haven't yet. Co-authored by Gaiman and Pratchett.
I swear... anything Gaiman turns his hand to, he does a masterful job of. Be it TV scripts, novels, comics, radio plays, movie scripts, translations...

Date: 2005-07-29 03:44 am (UTC)Haven't got around to reading Stardust yet: I'll add it to my list of books to buy when I'm allowed to spend money again.
I still feel happy about the fact that I pegged Wednesday from his introduction of himself to Shadow: normally things like that go straight over my head until the second time I read a book, and spot all the clues beforehand.
