The Joy of a Bibliophile!

I haven't gotten much stitching done in the last week. A couple of months back I stumbled across a short story on the Baen web site that I thought was very good. Come to figure out...its a story in a series. An entire, completed series! I got my hands on the last 4 books (for some dumb ass reason, the first two aren't owned by San Jose Public) on wednesday and have been reveling in the joy of being able to read an entire story without having to wait a year or more between books! Woot!

So, if you like SciFi, I totally recommend the Belisarius series by Drake and Flint (or Flint and Drake...take your pick!). Its an alternate earth story...Early Byzantium get ahold of a being from future...changing histroy as we know it. I throughly enjoyed it...now to go pick up a needle.

I caught the hamster!!!

For the last two...three hours...Magic has been whining at us. Now Magic is a pretty placid cat, whining is unusual for her. Usually means she got shut up some place and now she wants out. Joe checked on her a couple of times, but she wasn't trapped.

Whatever.

Magic started whining again...so I went to find out what was wrong with her. It took me a couple of minutes to determine that she was in fact in our room with the door open so I started to leave...then she darted out of Joe's closet over to mine. And she was chasing something.

Harvey!

Magic chased her out to where I could catch her, called for Joe ('cause I can't get up off the floor without hands), transferred Harvey to Joe and we moved her to her cage. Where we figured out that someone removed the tennis ball from the top of Harveys cage. (Tennis ball is a perfect size to cover a hole for more hamster trail)

We put the tennis ball back. And we fed her. She's had a rough night!

I'm glad we caught her...Ike would have been heart-broken.
