[Dante]

-Antenora and Snicket-Face, I hope you both feel better today.
-I don't know if I'll be attending the Nameless Novel ball.
-If I do, though, I'll go quite plainly as myself.
-I might go dig up my old mask from the masquerade, though.
-I just spent a few minutes helping Mother with some quiz.
-In many ways, it was like a Vernacularly Fastened Door, only completely to do with children's books.
-Mother wants the prize, which is a large amount of book tokens.
-There were questions about Artemis Fowl and A Series of Unfortunate Events and The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe and many others which I've now forgotten.
-I managed to answer 11 of the 20 questions simply from the top of my head.
-And at least one other I shouldn't have had to look up, but I ended up referring to my copy of the book in question.
-The ones I didn't know were about books I didn't read, or things I didn't care about.
-Anyway, that's done now.
-And hopefully, we'll win.
-Even though it doesn't actually matter too much to me.
-If this is reply #6,666, then that means I can't get reply #6,667.
-There's always #6,670, though.
-And at least my post takes the number of evil.
-Oh wait, no it doesn't.
-That's 616 now.
-I'm pretty hungry.
-I started breakfast a minute ago, because Mother let me eat at the computer while I was researching the answers to her quiz.
-But then she took it away again when I finished.
-Bah.
-I feel like I might be catching a cold, but I now feel like that just about every morning.
-It's overcast again outside, but not dark - just grey.

[Antenora]

-I'm feeling well.
-My eye doesn't hurt anymore, although it's watering a bit.
-I bought some Discworld books at Borders last night.
-Since they had a lot, I picked out a few more or less at random.
-I bought Sourcery, Lords and Ladies, and Going Postal.
-I've been meaning to read the first of those for a while, and the others just looked particularly interesting.
-I remember hearing somewhere that the devil had changed his evil number from 666 to 629.
-That was in a tabloid, I think.
-So this site should really be called 630 Dark Avenue, or possibly 617 Dark Avenue.
-Good luck winning that contest, Dante.
-I think I entered a contest like that once, or at least tried to get some book tokens in some way, and failed.

[Dante]

-I'm still feeling snuffly, although I don't pay much attention to it now.
-I feel better this morning than I did yesterday morning, for example.
-It's still grey and dull outside.
-It looks cold, too.
-I'm meant to be cutting up my pizza for lunch.
-You'd have thought my parents would know better than to ask me to do something while I'm typing.
-It seems that, unlike most people, they do not learn from experience.
-Now my family are all eating lunch, and distracting me from thinking of things I want to talk about.
-Going Postal came out in paperback today - oh wait, it was yesterday, my mistake.
-Anyway, it came out in paperback yesterday, so I can get it.
-My parents refuse to buy most hardbacks, as they're too expensive.
-My parents are slightly miserly, but I guess it runs in the family.
-I was thinking about masquerades and Phantom of the Opera earlier.
-There was one of the former in the latter.
-And there was an allusion to Poe in that.
-I should probably have put that down as an aSoUE coincidence, but I tend to forget those very quickly these days.
-And now I'd best go to lunch, before my parents get angry.
-It's very tiresome, how they insist on the family eating together.

[Antenora]

-I guess I went to Borders just in time to get the paperback Going Postal.
-I'd seen it in hardcover, and it was pretty expensive.
-I only buy hardcover books if I have a lot of money to spare, and my parents usually wait until books come out in paperback.
-I wonder if Thud! which I've heard is good, is out in paperback yet.
-There are still quite a few Discworld books I want, but can't find or can't afford.
-I'll probably order some from Amazon, since we're doing an Amazon order sometime soon.
-My family usually doesn't eat lunch together.
-My sister likes to eat outside, so we usually let her do so.
-I just eat lunch whenever it's convenient, most of the time.
-I should have some breakfast.
-Mother said I could eat some of the cake from yesterday.

[Dante]

-Amazon.co.uk doesn't list a paperback Thud!
-...Which is slightly worrying.
-But then again, they list a lot of stuff which doesn't exist, too.
-And they make a lot of mistakes.
-So they're not really reliable.
-I was exaggerating a little when I said that they never buy hardbacks, and called it miserly.
-But it is extremely frustrating when I have to wait months and months - literally - for the paperback version of something, because they won't get the hardback.
-What makes it worse is that I've sometimes had to wait months and months for these books to even come out in Britain, let alone in paperback.
-Patience is not one of my virtues.
-Or rather, patience when I shouldn't really have to wait.
-Mother's napping right now, and Father's reading a book.
-I read a little more of Crime and Punishment over lunch, and yesterday evening.
-Oh, and I had pizza for lunch.
-And I'll apparently be having pizza for lunch on Wednesday, too.
-Hm, I could have sworn Mother said yesterday that we might be going out for lunch today.
-I guess the "might" turned out to be important.
-I wouldn't have wanted to go out to lunch.
-It leaves me less time at home.
-The sky seems to have cleared up a bit.
-It's too bright for me to look at for long, but a lot of things are.
-And it's not actually very sunny - the sky just seems to be bright.

[Antenora]

-I'll probably get Thud! when it comes out in paperback.
-In the meantime, there are a lot of other books I need to look for.
-My parents often tell me to wait for a book to come out in paperback, if the hardcover is really expensive or I don't know for sure if I want the book.
-I just got something done for my Photography family tree project.
-I printed off the old photos I scanned of my mother and father.
-The project's due in about two weeks, and I'll probably start putting it together today.
-I need some poster-board, which we probably have.
-If we don't have any, I can get some when we go shopping later.
-And I need to type up a paragraph of "anecdotal details" about my family at some point.
-Yay, Kobolos is back!
-I've missed him.

[Dante]

-I looked it up, and apparently Thud! only came out last month.
-Which explains why there's no paperback yet.
-It always takes months for popular books to come out in paperback, as the publishers want to snatch as much money as possible.
-There are a lot of books which I think look interesting, but don't care too much for.
-So if they're in hardback, and the paperback won't be out for ages, then I just forget about them.
-Oh, it seems we're going out now.
-Mother says that it's very nice, and we should make the best of it.
-Or at least, that's the gist of what she's saying.
-We're going walking up near the Duchess's mansion.
-I wonder which route in particular we're taking?
-There are several.
-And I can't remember the one we usually take.
-I'm hoping it's not the one which involves a large and steep hill.
-Actually, I think it might not be that one.
-But I'm not sure.
-I guess I'll be back in a few hours.

Perhaps it's a birthday present.
Happy Birthday to you.

[Antenora]

-Yay, thanks Kobo!
-I just remembered several (more) things I want to order from Amazon whenever we next make an Amazon order.
-There are a couple of illustrated Discworld books that I've been wanting for a while, but they're out of print.
-The books I want are probably pretty expensive, but I'm pretty sure I'm getting some birthday money, which should be enough for one fairly expensive book.
-I might also get an Amazon gift certificate, too.
-I'm playing Grow Cube.
-The Grow games are really addictive.
-I don't think I've ever actually figured any of them out.
-It's cloudy outside, which means the weather will hopefully stay cool.
-Recently, it's been really hot.

The Family Guy movie is awesome. It would rank up with the best episodes of the earliest season.

I'm drawing now.

I've stuff to do

Edit: The Family Guy movie sucked. It lacked Brian.

[Dante]

-I've been out for a while.
-I had pretty bad heartburn while out walking.
-I feel much better now, though.
-And then I played Grow until I completed it.
-Then I wrote a little, and now I'm posting here.
-It's pretty dark outside, here.
-The sky is completely overcast, and all the clouds look black.
-And I could smell smoke earlier.
-I think we're having dinner soon.
-We were going to have spaghetti, but I overheard my parents saying that it was off.
-The clouds in the sky are moving pretty quickly, but not much appears to be blowing in the garden.
-I guess the wind just isn't reaching here.
-The weather has made me feel rather dull.
-It's just not happy weather.
-Did I just hear thunder?
-I might have.
-But it might just have been something falling over, or a distant crash of some sort.
-There it is again.
-I'm tending towards the latter theory, now.
-I don't really have much to say at the moment.
-I think I added some more stuff to an Amazon order, but it's possible that that's a false memory or my imagination.
-In fact, I'm pretty sure it was.
-I'll probably read some more of Crime and Punishment now.
-Or write something.
