Ahoy!

Since I worked last Saturday, I took today off work and so far have managed to have a nice, lazy time of it. I started my morning in Panera, where I drank lots of coffee and worked on my FF in Space story (which *might* be done by the end of the month, at least for certain values of "done"); when I ran out of battery I came home and poked at the story a little more, and then I wandered off to the Ferry Building for lunch and to finish reading Red Seas Under Red Skies, the second Gentleman Bastard book, which sucked me in just as completely as the first book and left me almost as heartbroken, and now I am cursing that the next one isn't going to be out until February. Just what I needed, another series that will tempt me into buying all the books in hardback.

So all in all, I'd say that reading the adventures of Locke Lamora and working on a story that's threatening to turn into a Crimson Squad space pirate AU was a worthy way to spend this particular day. Avast, me hearties. Have some grog on me.

YAY FOR RELEASE DATE.

BOO FOR FEBRUARY.

I cried like a BABY at that one part of Red Seas. I know you know the one I mean.

Oh, Scott Lynch. Much like George R R Martin, and Atlus, you insist on stabbing me repeatedly. and I like it.

There are several places that could be but I bet I know the one you mean.

I was looking at Scott Lynch's FAQ again the other day, and I noticed that the name of the series is "Gentleman Bastard", not "Gentleman Bastards". I really, *really* hope that doesn't mean that Jean has a target on his back. Locke is a fantastic character and I love him, but the books wouldn't be nearly as appealing if it were just him against the world. He needs a team, or at least a teammate. (Plus, Jean is five thousand kinds of awesome on his own.)

I think maybe the singular in the sense of like, the Gentleman Bastard Club or something like that? that's what I keep telling myself.

Jean is fantastic. I love him.
