"This is double-plus-un-not-annoying!"

What I did at the weekend:

- Cut my hair! Well, actually, I had it cut on Tuesday and I really liked it, apart from these two long bits at the front which were driving me mad because one of them flicked out and the other flicked under, as my hair does, so on Saturday I grabbed a pair of scissors and just hacked them off. Possibly I will regret this but for the moment I am v. pleased.

- Cleared out my flat a bit more, sadly I am so slow at this that by the time I have done the last bit the bit I did first will need redoing. I have sorted out a few things (mostly books) to go to the charity shop, but if any of y'all want them I am happy to post 'em to you instead, they are: a Pigeon Post mug like so (which I am only getting rid of cos I have two of them); The Court of the Air by Stephen Hunt (full disclosure: I only managed sixty pages of this); Excession and The Algebraist by Iain M. Banks; Storm Front, White Night, Proven Guilty, Small Favour (hardback), Blood Rites, Death Masks and Summer Knight by Jim Butcher; and two stand-up comedy CDs, one Alan Davies, the other Mitchell and Webb.

- Finished The West Wing season two, ( spoilers! )

Annoyingly some rotter had borrowed season three before I could get to the library so I got the first season of Mad Men instead.

- Read Knife, by rj_anderson, which was terrific, I thoroughly recommend it to anyone who likes YA fantasy. I loved the characters, particularly Thorn: they all felt very realistic (er, except for the "being faeries" thing) and I loved how the faeries were neither twee nor gratuitously vicious, it made a nice change! I have a feeling that I read somewhere that there's a sequel in the works; I hope this is true.
