Weekend Update June 29, 2012

Since my last update:
I finished both The 500 by Matthew Quirk and Mallory’s Oracle by Carol O’Connell this week. I liked them both quite a bit.
My plan for today is to start two new books. I’ll be reading The Prophet by Michael Koryta. The Hubster already read and enjoyed this one and because of that I know that football plays a part in the story. This is good because I’m getting antsy for college football season to start and a bit of a football fix will be nice.

I’ll also be starting the next in The Unwritten series of graphic novels. The first one was great and I actually have then next two out from the library to read (Inside Man and Dead Man’s Knock). I’m looking forward to immersing myself in these stories again.


Other than books and reading:
My ereader issues have been happily resolved. My replacement nook arrived on Wednesday and is working perfectly. I do appreciate good customer service.

It’s been a busy but pretty quiet week with nothing out of the ordinary on our schedule. It’s actually been kind of nice to have a weekend with nothing on the calendar. Yesterday The Hubster was able to get us to the BBC broadcast of Friday’s Olympics Opening Ceremony. We on the Pacific coast were several hours behind everyone else in getting the NBC broadcast and after reading the twitter stream of the east coast watchers we decided to avoid the NBC version. Thank goodness for proxy servers and The Hubster’s knowledge in getting that set up because we really enjoyed the BBC coverage.

One thing we did last Sunday was set up our new wireless printer. The Hubster had to work around Abby’s “help” but he got it all set up. It’s nice to not have to fire up the desktop in the den just to print something.

Step 6 is nap on the instructions

Hope you’re having a great weekend.
