Migraine so vicious it impeded my ability to fully see out of my right eye and to walk without dizziness. Also, my nose bled for a while. Hurrah. I didn't like staying home but I didn't have a choice; I couldn't stay upright. It abated sometime after two. Now I just feel scooped out, cranially.

Adam still has off work, Friday too. Because he is driving to Georgia on Saturday. Atlanta. For about a week. He keeps asking me if I am okay with it, he apologizes, and I tell him not to do that. It is his job. I will miss him, yes, but he will come back next week. However, it has been weeks, if not longer, since he had to drive to another state far away for a job. So I am adjusting again.

I'm reading Neil Gaiman's Anansi Boys after months of not wanting to read it (because it wasn't American Gods). I love it. It is witty and powerful and very very funny. Gaiman returns to good storytelling within the world of a novel. It is like watching a very suspenseful dramatic movie, without music, edge of my seat. Laughing at loud at moments. Frightened at other moments. I am looking forward to it ending, and reading it over.

You make me fall in love with Gaiman and I haven't even read any of his work.

*hugs you*

I'm sorry to hear you feel so awful.

Oo Neil Gaiman.. I've been meaning to read him.

:D

*checks to make sure all your brainy bits are back where they're supposed to be* Ahh, yep. All there. *pats* Sorry about the migraine. Glad it's over though.

As for Monsieur Gaiman...I like his short stories, and Coraline :) ...okay and everything else...but shhhh don't tell :)

Ahh, thank you. That feels better.

You know, I really should read Coraline.

And I am waiting for Fragile Things to come out in paperback. I am going to read the story about the woman who eats her cat alive, and then I am never going to read that story again (unless, somehow, Gaiman does it really bizarrely well).

Ouch! Glad you're feeling better...if not a bit lobotomized..

I'm reading Anansi Boys right now too! I also put it off for awhile, but I'm really enjoying it! :)

You should come to GA. I live there.

I have his newest book Fragile Things but I haven't had time to start it yet.

Owwww...I'm sorry. I can empathize. Stupid migraines. Stupid being so smart and conscientious and responsible that we get them (heh heh)

I'm finally getting around to Good Omens. Anansi Boys is sitting on my nightstand patiently waiting.

Heh. Yeeaah. Mine are mostly triggered by hormone fluctuations and weather changes. Combine those and it's nasty. So, I'm on my period and it's raining. Uh huh.

Oh, you'll looove Good Omens. Adam and I joke around all the time that he is actually the Adam in the book, and Ralph is actually Dog. You'll see what I mean.
He stared down at the golden curls of the Adversary, Destroyer of Kings, Angel of the Bottomless Pit, Great Beast that is called Dragon, Prince of This World, Father of Lies, Spawn of Satan, and Lord of Darkness.
"You know," he concluded, after a while, "I think he actually looks like an Adam."
