I almost didn't make it here today! It's been an insanely busy week that's going to continue into today. Life This week has been a combination of busy at work and busy at home. The kids did not have school on Monday, which is also typically my busiest day at work. So when Monday ended, I felt as if I sucked at both life and work. The rest of the week was better - at least I was able to keep work and life separate. This weekend just happens to be one of those when I have so much to do - thanks to the many tasks and chores deferred from previous days/weekends. We were getting quotes for some home improvement projects, had to start prepping rooms for my parents' arrival next month (mainly because I still haven't moved my daughter's online school materials out of the room from the Fall school year), and do lots of seasonal shopping. If it weren't going to be constantly raining this entire weekend, I would be prepping my garden beds as well, but now that needs t
It's been a stressful week at my end - not even hectic at work. Just stressful in life. It's a good thing for me that April is a busy month in reading. Or else I could have gone into yet another rut. The weather has been crazy over here this week, but it's been mostly hot.
Last weekend, my brother and I went to watch Source Code. Well, my brother wanted to watch and I just tagged along. In the end, we were both arguing over our interpretation of the ending. What a complicated concept about parallel realities. There's a reason I didn't pursue that line in school for advanced studies. Still, if you enjoyed Inception, you would probably enjoy this, though I still feel Inception was loads better and engaging, or maybe that's just the DiCaprio effect.
Harry Potter fans: Are you subscribing to the Magic is Might news? You might want to, or else you'll miss all the atrocious happenings in the wizarding world which right now is intent on capturing Undesirable #1: Harry Potter. Magic Is Might is some sort of a four-month alternate reality feature that recreates a wizard world reminiscent of the seventh book. Every day, they publish two articles that appear as if churned out by a Voldemort-supporting government. You should really check out these articles, I just kept LOL-ing on the floor when I read them.

The Ministry’s studies also suggest that Undesirable No. 1’s parents, Lily and James Potter, were both accomplices to Dumbledore’s sinister scheme. Lily was a highly powerful Muggle-born witch, or rather the thief of a highly powerful wizard’s magic. On the other hand, James was a pure-blood. However, “he was notorious for breaking rules and endangering the lives of other students at Hogwarts,” says an inside source. He was close friends with the murderer Sirius Black, and the half-breed Remus Lupin, both highly dangerous. Rookwood concluded, “We believe that the couple worked with Albus Dumbledore to create the beast who is now known as Undesirable No. 1."
Last week, I received an email from BookTrib, about an E-VENT with author Deanna Fei, whose book A Thread of Sky I totally loved and thought was an awesome read for women anywhere. The E-VENT is at BookTrib on April 26th (which I realize is a workday but will still try to attend). If you're interested, you may want to check this link.
What else is happening in the bookish world?

Source Code looks goooood.

I loved Inception! I am not so sure about Source Code though.
Thanks for the link to Magic is Might!
