Jun. 21st, 2004 03:51 pmI had a good day at the horse races yesterday. Got a good $20 out of it, since my dad was spotting the cash for the bets. My first two horses came in first, and three of the others at least placed. I picked the first one because the jockey happened to have the same name as Christian Bale's character in Empire of the Sun...I love how these things work.
I thought the horse races were pretty damn fun, what with the crazy names and the binoculars and the stupid kids behind us yelling "NUMBER TWO!!" Right, maybe not the kids...My sisters seemed to think otherwise, so they're not invited to come on my birthday. Unfortunately, my dad may have moved to India by then...wow, that was a roundabout paragraph.
I finished Kavalier & Clay which was a lovely, lovely book that I must write lovely, lovely fic for. The only problem is that I don't really ship Kavalier/Clay. Deasey/Clay I could see...I'm now onto The Black Dahlia, which is actually very similar. Except that it's written by James Ellroy, so...not.
It's raining. A lot. I woke up in the middle of a huge thunderstorm and thought, "I should charge my ipod in case the power goes out." I didn't and it didn't, but this just goes to show you I'm a loser. In case you had any doubts.
