molly_oMaking up for infrequent posting with a too-long post, but that's how it goes.

neotoma has a pretty good (but spoilery) review here.
Books read: i've read all the Harry Dresden novels in paperback, so I've started on Jim Butcher's new fantasy trilogy. I am generally not a big fan of fantasy, so I went into these with a decided lack of enthusiasm, but they're actually pretty good -- plotty, and the people are smart, and the politics are real, and the lack of technological development is explained by other factors. I miss all the fun pop-culture allusions of the Dresden Files, though.
in fannish news, I am hovering on the edge of SPN fandom. I have read some good Wincest and some good RPS, andmeri_oddities recs are likely to push me over the edge. PLUS I have lately discovered Fall Out Boy RPS, but I am still just a dabbler there.
Meanwhile, today was a lovely day: After a yummy breakfast of leftover brownies and Coca-Cola, RM and I headed out to Saint Sophia's Greek Festival. We met A & A and their kids, and ate amazing food, and wandered around the tables of jewelry and knitting and pottery. One of RM's college friends was working the lemonade stand, and he got to spend some time catching up with her, which was great.
Then we checked out the DC Dragonboat Festival with K&T and S&D and their offspring, but it ended shortly after we arrived, so we went and found a nice park and the adults lolled on the grass while the kids played tag and ate ice cream and lunged at unfamiliar dogs.
And *then* RM took me to dinner at my favorite restaurant, and now we are home and he is watching a German crime show while I update LJ and enjoy a slight sunburn.
