We just rebooted the Friends Series, so in honor of that event I'm beginning my blogs with "The One with the..." in the title for a bit.
My parents came over for lamb on Easter Sunday, a yearly tradition. A pleasant visit and an enjoyable meal. Softball starts next week and I don't even have a roster so I can't call anybody; that's my biggest frustration right now. I need to fill out my FASFA.
The highlight of the week was getting the changing table for the baby's room. There was some back pain, some stripped bolts that wouldn't go all the way in, but all and all, its fixed and sturdy enough for its intended purpose. The room is coming together and should be mostly ready by August. She's due in July? Uh oh...
Lots of work and not a lot else. I've got no sports to blog about. I need new slippers.
Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman
This book started out funny with an excellent premise: two angels, one standard and one fallen, both friends likened to undercover agents on opposite sides of the Cold War trying to stop the Apocalypse because they enjoy the world too much to see it end. The book is advertised as in the same league as Douglas Adams's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and while it is zany, it is not in the same league. In fact, sometimes it tries too hard. In the first half of the book, there was an effort to explain the Britishisms found inside, but in the second half, they just quit trying. This book is funny in the way that a US marine brandishing a mackerel like a rifle is funny-- I didn't get it either. **
