louiseluxI've posted half my cards and the others should go out today, when I find my stamps. Yo, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kanzenhanzai! I got my card with the naked Roger and Rafa inside! It was awesome, thank you. puddingcat, kispexi2 and moshesque, I got yours too, thank you! There were no hot naked men inside, but I can forgive you for that. This time.
Other news: short review of Bentley Little's 'The Walking': IT'S SHOW NOT TELL, BENTLEY. Why is the horror genre so disappointing? It makes me sad. Also, he is called Bentley and that really set up my expectations. This book had some intriguing blurb on it, and then I read it, and... not so great. There was a good central idea, spooky, but everything else was flat.
I peevishly abandoned it on the train, swapping it for a book that was lying on an empty seat. Perhaps left by some other similarly cheesed-off reader? The book was called 'Of Merchants and Heroes' by Paul Walters, a historical novel set in the third century BC and it's about a rather unhappy fellow called Marcus. The style reminds me a lot of Renault, but that's no bad thing for me.
There's a new challenge up on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
saiyuki_time. I really want to try and write something for it this week.
I miss tennis. A lot. Just fyi.
Health news: My back is better. Regarding the mystery pains, I'm on another cavalcade of antibiotics and I have another scan on Monday, so hopefully something positive will happen. I'm beginning to feel like a walking pill box, and also like this illness will never stop. Going to the gym on Wednesday maybe wasn't the best idea. Neither was having a period. Ow. My plan is to do not much at all this weekend and keep warm and rest. Maybe make muffins.

Date: 2008-12-15 02:35 pm (UTC)Yes, actually the Wimbledon rebroadcast featured JMac as the announcer. That interview was included at the end. I don't really care for JMac, but he was very good. And the Roger hug he gave... well, that just seemed to be really from the heart.
