I'm sick!

oh poor poor me!

Well I'm getting a little better now. Still isn't any fun. I can't really take any sick days out here. 12 hours on and 12 hours off every day. Yes, every day.

Well I should go take a shower. Hummm seems like I blog then think about a shower.


Oh I finished reading The Inferno. It was good. It was kind of easy to read. I didn't get some of the names or the cities, but the story behind it was cool. The book also had notes talkin' about what is going on and junk like that.

Yeah I got books

Today I did a little shopping. Well before that I was also awake for 30ish hours. Geez.

So anyways. I first went looking for some new work boots. I don't really need a new pair yet, I just wanted a chance to break them in before I needed them. I'll also like to have them so I got two pairs of water proof boots to take with me offshore.

If I end up on the barge again, I need more books to read. So I got me 4 books. Oh oh oh!!! Good story here. So, since I been awake for all this time I thought I would be a good idea to get me a carmel macchiato for where else but Starbucks. I haven't had one in awhile and this one was good. The worst thing to do when going to a book store is to have no idea what you want to read. I'm not the biggest reader so I'm not too sure what I would really like to read.

I walked around the damn store for 2 hours before finding some books that looked good. I didn't just want to buy one book. I wanted a group of 3 or 4 books. Well I found one that looks good and has 5 books, I just got the first 3. Then I just happened to think of The Iliad. A book that well lets just say I didn't read it in high school. ;)

Then I happened to see some Dante. Now, I have never read any Dante, I just know the books have been around awhile (about 650 years). I must have spend another hour just looking at different translations. It took some time to find what I really wanted. So far I'm happy with my choice.

Here are the books I got:

• Storm Front By Jim Butcher
• Grave Peril by Jim Butcher
• Fool Moon by Jim Butcher
• Inferno By Dante Alighieri, Elio Zappulla, Gregory Gillespie

My library

I hope I have some good books. I think I'll start off with some Dante.
