[ 2010.01.17 ]

It's looking like our 2010 is going to be a year of travels. I'm already set to visit my fam in PI in March. And we're about 90% sure that Tim will be headed to Saudi this month, and possibly in March as well. I know Tim is wanting to visit Dev and Jas sometime in the spring and I really want to spend a good long weekend in AZ with my good friend Sangeetha in the fall. It will be interesting to see how much we do actually travel by the end of the year...

I started reading Neal Stephenson's Quicksilver and 170 or so pages into it, I had to stop. I keep waiting for things to "happen", and they just never do. I loved Cryptonomicon, and I really ought to read it again since I can't seem to remember half of what happened in the book. But I just have the hardest time convincing myself that I will ever get into the first of the Baroque cycle. It's really unfortunate. Oh well. Now, I have two relatively short books in my hands that I just borrowed from the library. A couple of classic sci-fi books that I'm hoping will give me more entertainment than Quicksilver did.
