... the IT man in LibraryLand
As you may remember this was a selection that Salsa Girl had picked for me to read when I gave her the opportunity to choose my next read.
So I finally found myself able to start this novel after having read it's preceding volume - thus satisfying one's desire to read things in the proper and correct order.
It is much like the first book in writing style although the subject matter expands to a larger view of Auel's pre-history world.
I do have to apologise for characterising the previous adventure as "Ayla invents everything" because the sheer amount of inventing she gets up to this time around makes her previous attempts pale in comparison.
It was an interesting read and one has to admit that - sigh - one shall indubitably get around to reading the remainder of the series to find out what befalls our plucky heroine (albeit probably a tad more spaced apart than these first two were).
Alas, the dangers of following the reading recommendations of one's sweetheart.

Trusting Oneself
So it appears I may have jumped the gun when I was discussing the apparent lack of weird and interesting happenings on my life over the past week or so.
Making my way to my vehicle yesterday - in order to make my commute in a barely timely manner to attend a morning meeting - I discovered that my transportation was suffering from the condition known as "Flat Battery".
Apparently one's subconscious had planned ahead and left several interior lights on when last departing the vehicle.
One's subconscious must have also foreseen that this setback would cause Supervisor Grand Chief K to cancel the meeting and thereby one would be saved all the pain and stress that uncatered meetings cause.
In future I shall very much trust in the wisdom of my subconscious self.

Tumbleweeds
Well after the excitement of one's birthday not much of blog-worthy substance has occurred.
There has been the usual work and gaming. The less regular visits and dinners with friends and family. The smooth continuation of the grand experiment betwixt Salsa Girl and myself. Steady progress through my current read and not much on the film front - although I will say that I think Black Swan falls short of what it was trying to achieve.
All on all not much at all but be sure I'll inform you all should anything at all weird or interesting befall me in any part of my life at all.

The Birthday Experience
This weekend past saw the passing of a not very significant birthday - well in comparison to last year at least.
As my present Salsa Girl decided to give me an experience.
Now get your minds out of the gutter as I tell you that the experience was a trip to the Melbourne Aquarium - a venue to which one had never made an expedition.
I had quite an enjoyable time with my personal highlights being the rather Cthulhu-esque cuttlefish and, as befits my age and maturity, being witness to underwater penguin flatulence.
The day after such an uplifting experience was a gaming Sunday which included a plethora of one's favourite games, friends and even a magnificent caramel mud cake courtesy of Salsa Girl.
The afternoon included the long awaited, and much anticipated, meeting of BestFriendSincePrep and Salsa Girl - thankfully he approved of her so I may continue on in my courting ways.
So all in all I think we can agree that my birthday weekend was spent in a very Phill manner.
