I have a killer headache today.

I just finished the book “Magic Time” by Marc Scott Zicree and Barbara Hambley.  It was published around 2001 and is the first of the trilogy.  The beginning was so disjointed and slow I almost stopped reading it, but it finally picked up after the first several chapters.

Basically, the US government worked a project called the “Source.”  The source gets free and sucks up all the power including electricity in the US and maybe the world.  Planes fall out of the sky, guns no longer fire, and things get ugly.  Meanwhile, certain people are becoming other things.  Call them what you want but mostly they become fairies, trolls, demons, knights, things like that.  And some people stay the same.

It’s an ok story, reminds me a lot of Stephen King’s “The Stand.”  Now I have to find the other two books in the trilogy because I can not start a book or movie and not finish it.  Drives me nuts.

I love finding a trilogy or series of books after they are all written.  It’s like a gift knowing I won’t have to wait for the author to pen another one.  It’s done and I will get to see the end in my life time.

Authors who drag a series out really bug me.  ROBERT JORDAN being one of the worst offenders.  His last few books in his Eye of the World Series slowed to almost a death march.  Just get it written why don’t ya?  Before you die already.

I also just finished Frank Peretti’s “Monster.”  I like Frank’s stuff, especially “This Present Darkness” but sometimes he gets a little preachy.  I wonder why I never really noticed that before, but now after re reading some of his stuff, it sticks out like a sore thumb.

Nothing exciting is happening here, but we are certainly busy.  This school year started off with a blast.  My oldest is involved in a lot of after school activities as well as having at least two hours of homework every night.  He’s only in fifth grade, but some of the stuff he is bringing home baffles me.  So I end up researching it so I can teach it to him since teachers don’t teach anymore here, they just give homework and expect the parents to do the teaching.  Sorry I haven’t used reflexive angels in problem form since tenth grade Geometry.  Its slowly coming back to me.  Very slowly.  Heh.

My husband leaves Sunday for a two week trip to Norway.

I have a new kitchen sink, stainless steel.  It has a satin finish and matches the stainless steel appliances in my kitchen.  I put the old sink out with the garbage and someone took it.  It was still in good shape, I just wanted an upgrade.  Hope they enjoy it.

Since life is so exciting here, heh, I guess I better get back to it.
