May. 8th, 2015 11:12 amIt's almost a shame to be indoors on a day like this one, but I'm getting paid to be indoors, so I'm indoors. The weather tomorrow looks to be about the same, and that calls for a Devious Plot as long as I fit it around getting my hairs cut at 1:00. I'm still on hiatus from voice lessons for another two weeks, so there's a lot of Devious Plot space this weekend and next weekend. Maybe I'll dash up to the Fenway movie theater after work tonight and see if I can buy a ticket for Age of Ultron for tomorrow or Sunday.
Speaking of voice lessons, I should think a bit about what it is I want to get out of this semester (aside from an actual lesson time, which I don't have yet). Fun, mostly. HRC wasn't all that much fun between March and the concert last weekend, and that was all the singing I was doing. Singing used to be fun...
I don't know what my phone was doing all night last night, but it was down to 35% battery this morning. I expect that in Noank, which doesn't have very good cell service, but usually it doesn't happen here. I hope that doesn't mean I should go phone shopping again already. For some reason, I'm immune to gadget envy when it comes to phones; I'm perfectly happy with the 5s I've got and I don't really want a 6. And I really don't want to buy anything big until after I get the next credit card bill with the resort charges on it.
Speaking of shopping, I think I might order the last Terry Pratchett book from the UK. It's coming out there in September, which means it will probably be coming out here next March or so and I don't want to wait that long for it. Especially since I'm waiting for Patrick Rothfuss and George R. R. Martin. At least Rothfuss said "not this year" back in January. I'm reasonably certain that one will be worth the wait. I want to know how the story gets from where it was at the end of the last book to the medias res it came into at the start of the first one, although I'm also reasonably certain it's going to be depressing. If nothing happens in the next Martin book, or if whatever happens happens early and the rest of the book consists of several hundred pages of exposition for something that's supposed to happen in the book after next, I'll probably give up.
I think I might have been wrong about Australia being the last continent I hadn't been to that I had any interest in going to. Macchu Picchu isn't going to come here either. Maybe I'll do that for my 45th birthday.
