Coliseum is reborn!
The bookstore is really, genuinely open, if still a bit under construction. They're putting in a cafe. Sigh. Hm, if the cafe means they'll add an open-to-the-public bathroom, which is currently not there, it might be worth it. Though, as my assistant said, "I don't hold with bookstores with cafes. It messes up the book smell."
I picked up a couple of books, one small one on bats (there seem to be rather few of those, and an astonishing number of books on birds), and McKillip's latest -- I hadn't known she'd come out with another one. I forget the title, as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mnemex has it. In the Forests of Something-or-Other.
Still reading Man in the Iron Mask. D'Artagnan rocks. Athos is magnificent. Porthos rocks in a more literal sense. Aramis still rocks -- except when he is amazingly stupid because the plot requires him to be so in order to fuel the machinery of the plot. I'm about halfway through, maybe a bit more, and he's made 2 serious errors.mnemex convinced me that the one at the beginning was understandable, taking several factors into account, but the one he made just now seems asinine. We'll see if mnemex can convince me otherwise.
Not sure what ingredient I'm craving, but I seem to have a bottomless appetite for sushi. Did AYCE withmnemex yesterday, after Coliseum, and was sushied out. But wanted it again today. acrobatty suggested it might be the seaweed I wanted, but I don't think so. It's the fish. Specifically, the raw fish. Cooked just isn't as appealing, though I'll make an exception for eel and tataki.
