My Newest Addiction

Well it's not really that new, but I've found myself playing it more and more as the months have passed.

Firefall the game is what I spend a lot of time in these days.  It's all about killing bugs and aliens and running missions, and there's something about it that appeals to me.

Here's a screen shot of me in the game - it's not that great but I'm just now learning how to actually take pictures in game.

There are different classes you can be, and I'm playing a couple of different ones to figure out what I really like.  I totally suck at some things but am getting better.

The nice thing is that I have found people, or they have found me, that want to help me learn about the game and how it is played.

I have absolutely no idea what I will do when it goes from being an open Beta game and you have to pay to play.

The Time Traveler's Wife

I finished The Time Traveler's Wife last night, and it was awesome.  Then I had to drive to Franklinton today to celebrate Mother's Day with the Bakers, so the entire drive up I was thinking about Henry and Clare, and how I would have handled being either one of them.

Then as I got closer to Franklinton, I was listening to AT40, and singing along to my current favorite song - "All of Me" by John Legend - and as I was singing, I thought about how that song might apply to the book. And then that got me thinking . . .

I have this thing about books and songs.  I think of how a song could fall into the soundtrack of a book, not so much to have it made into a movie, but how the lyrics would mean something to the characters or such.

It's like Divergent.  God I could go on and on about that book and Tris and Tobias, but the thing is I loved the song "Radioactive," and it reminded me of the series.  And then I finished Allegiant, and now I can't listen to that song because it makes me sad.

So there it is.  I think of songs as they might apply to books. LOL Well I AM a librarian.
