short version: read tithe! long version: also, cheer me up!

I'll admit it: I've got the awesome-weekend-letdown-blues. ziggy1278 is on a plane, probably somewhere over the Rockies by now, and I'm back to reality, etc. Much fun was had—I adore road trips hard core, and despite some potential disasters it pretty much came off. We went up to Boston to see C____, then to Northampton for a Sam Phillips concert followed by a visit with theoblack and blackholly. I actually hadn't been to New England since Christmas, and it was fun showing Z my native sod, and the beauty that makes me homesick. Not to mention, of course, Newbury Comics. Z left half sandwiches wherever he went, so both C____ and I had lunches thanks to his largesse.

Nothing much seems to have happened while I was gone, either, though I did manage to finally track down and read vol. 20 of Fruits Basket and I basically am annoyed I have to wait until November for vol. 21 and probably the end of 2009 for the final vol. 23. Other than HIMYM and sort-of BSG, it's the only continuing narrative I'm currently following so the goodbye is definitely bittersweet, even if I do love things that end (so I can read them again!). I also recently read Ironside—I'd been saving it for a plane trip and then never went anywhere. I thought it tied up the Tithe-Valiant storyline incredibly well and highly recommend the trilogy to any of you who like YA urban fantasy with a touch of romance.

I'm going to watch the AMV's that ali_wildgoose posted last night, but anything else I should look into for happy-making?

aside: I wish that writing in all lower case didn't look pretentious and/or plebey; I'd like to do it for a while to counter all the capslocking, which gives me a headache.

I always feel the same after a US visit, so I sympathise :( I've done a few road trips there, too, and it sucks when they end because you want to just get back on the road. Am glad you had a good weekend, though! ♥

I feel that, should you chose to go anti-capslock for a while, it would come off very e.e. and rebellious in a fun way rather than ridiculous.
