Apparently I had read the second book in the Black Jewels trilogy as well, it has just been long enough ago tha I didn't immediately realize it. I finished Heir to the Shadows tonight. It had a lot of violence (as in wholesale killing) in it, but the end was really good.
I washed all my shorts so I would have something to wear to Mom's this weekend.
I also had an ice cream sundae at work today. I usually don't eat all that stuff they put out, but they had walnuts in syrup today, and I just could not resist. But I ate pretty well at dinner. I had a California Club, whole wheat organic crackers with homemade hummus, and high fiber V-8 juice; so I felt that I had redeemed myself somewhat.
Caught the end of an episode of Southpark while I was folding clothes. They had Sally Struthers drawn as Jabba the Hutt. It was pretty damn funny, even if it was really mean.

About Me
- thefabulousmrthing
- The most likely much too detailed look at the life of a second-class citizen twice over. As a gay man who is single again at 40+ in the South, I'm working on accepting things as they are and finding the joy in them when I can. I am blessed with good friends, pretty good health, a job that sustains me, and two cats who enjoy my servitude. I'm kinky, decently read, and a hypo-glycemic pescetarian who is pretty opinionated. Between the large cast of characters and my perhaps unfortunate propensity to navel-gaze, there is usually something going on.

Edna St. Vincent Millay
What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why,
I have forgotten, and what arms have lain
Under my head till morning; but the rain
Is full of ghosts tonight, that tap and sigh
Upon the glass and listen for reply;
And in my heart there stirs a quiet pain
For unremembered lads that not again
Will turn to me at midnight with a cry.
Thus in the winter stands a lonely tree,
Nor knows what birds have vanished one by one,
Yet knows its boughs more silent than before:
I cannot say what loves have come and gone;
I only know that summer sang in me
A little while, that in me sings no more.
I have forgotten, and what arms have lain
Under my head till morning; but the rain
Is full of ghosts tonight, that tap and sigh
Upon the glass and listen for reply;
And in my heart there stirs a quiet pain
For unremembered lads that not again
Will turn to me at midnight with a cry.
Thus in the winter stands a lonely tree,
Nor knows what birds have vanished one by one,
Yet knows its boughs more silent than before:
I cannot say what loves have come and gone;
I only know that summer sang in me
A little while, that in me sings no more.
