A Post About Science Fiction Novels

Burro, currently AKA Muffin, alias Lover, and I have been indulging our inner nerds. Isaac Asimov, George R.R. Martin and Philip Pullman have all been center stage lately, or rather, center couch. There's something about a good Fantasy/Sci-Fi novel that satisfies the soul in the same way say, a delicious steamed pork bun from Satay Brothers would. Undefinable satisfaction. In any case, a good yarn is a good yarn, as they say. Do they say?

I have been confined to the couch, and thus the interweb, for the past couple of days. Barfy Cute is one of my bookmarks, and I nostalgically clicked on it and started reading through our posts. What a trip! What a project! What a total lack of follow-through on our parts. What a shame, thought I.
And then... why not post today?
So here we are. I suspect Burro might be less enthusiastic due to his current employment. And I will probably post less than someone who hates cereal (post? Post Cereal? No?), but still. But still.

We have some news. I have made a list (obvi):
- Burro and Burra are getting hitched!
- Burra and Burro are moving to Montreal!
- Burra is pregnant!

Just joking.

- Burra might need glasses (jury's still out).
- Burro might be catching the cold that Burra brought home
- Burro is going to Spain, and Burra is running a summer camp this summer
- Burra is worried about September's employment situation, but true to her word, is remaining positive
- Burra is positive
- Burro is out cycling and Burra might be jealous
- It has just occurred to Burra that maybe the reason BC never continued was because Burro was the last to post... was it Burra's turn?
- Also, coincidentally, Burra was out cycling during the last post. Maybe this is/was a Seldon Crisis? (ref. Isaac Asimov, 'Foundation')
- Burra has a new nickname: Shiny Spoon, or, for shortsies, Spoon.
- The unfortunate acronym is S.S. But we don't talk about that.

Burra out, it's nap time for the Spoon.
