Time to update

hmpfMy university obligations - exams and essay - are over, until I'm back at my home uni, that is. So, I have time now. I finished my last essay on Thursday, and handed it in on Friday. Later that day I went to the cinema with Rebecca, and then sort of collapsed, back home.
Saturday morning I went to find steel-capped shoes for the excavation which begins on Tuesday, and afterwards tried to go to Bath to visit Scapekid, but couldn't get a ticket. Which probably was a blessing in disguise, because the full after-effects of writing an essay in only five days then hit me and I spent most of the rest of the day half sick and half asleep on the sofa, feeling almost too weak to move. In the evening I finally could find the energy to cook some dinner, and then went to bed very early. Oh, and in between dozing, I read the very beautiful novel 'Way Station' by Clifford D. Simak, one of the books I bought thanks to a recommendation at EasterCon.
Today, I slept late, read some more, cooked some more, wrote about a page of fic, and then read some more. I've discovered lots of literature on the web - today I read all of Heinlein's 'The Door Into Summer' and am now well into G.K. Chesterton's 'The Man Who Was Thursday'. Can anyone recommend me e-texts of books they particularly like? This is a nice, cheap way of reading... although I still love printed books and will probably always want my favourite books in printed form, as well. But, it's a nice way of reading stuff I am not so sure I want to *own*. For example, that Heinlein novel, while very entertaining, I don't really feel I need to buy. I may want to buy the Chesterton; I already find it very amusing, and if I continue to like it I may have to add it to my library.
Tomorrow, I will probably go to Sarehole Mill to see what's left of the places of Tolkien's childhood. Also, I need to get started on the translations I offered to do for the Farscape fansub project, and I need to catch up with my many weeks of LJ-backlog, and I need to write up the rest of my long-overdue EasterCon report, and write that essay for the German Tolkien Society I promised ages ago. Also, I want to look into venues for the TBFC 8, and give several people feedback, and do some more designing. But I needed to take yesterday and today off, and possibly tomorrow - I really was almost completely exhausted. So, I will take it slow, for the time being. I will devote most of next week's evenings to translating, I've decided, and in between will catch up with all you guys here... but slowly, one at a time. :-)
And now I'm going to bed. :-)
