Enemy of Entropy
The Girl Is Better! And More Reading
That’s a relief. I was getting quite worried. She spent most of the weekend sleeping or looking like a zombie, eating only what Sam could coax into her, and using heating pads. I’m starting to think that we should accept the offer to refer her to a pain management doctor, if only to have something she can take during a flare.
So I read the latest Anita Blake novel, Blood Noir. I’m not sure why I continue to read these. Honestly, Hamilton is a decent writer. I enjoy her prose. She just needs to go back to plot school! Or maybe work with a co-writer who is strong on plot, but not relationships or descriptions?
There was no plot at all for the first few hundred pages of the book. When something involving a previous “big bad” did happen, it was nothing but an inconvenience, and over within an hour of Anita finding out about it. Whoopee. There was a crisis and danger, of course, but I found them anticlimactic after the villains Anita has vanquished in the past.
There was, of course, lots of sex. This one could have been called, “Anita gets a fuck buddy.”
Oh well. On to Sunshine by Robin McKinley. Someone recommended it to me years ago, and I happened to see McKinley’s name somewhere and remembered it. I don’t think that I’ve read any of her novels before. Short stories, maybe.
Rant at Fibrant Living
If you have fibromyalgia, or care about anyone who does, please read and respond.
Fibrant Living: FMS or Depression?
I posted over at Fibrant Living today, about the difference between fibromyalgia and depression.
Interview: Chronic Pain and Sex
The interview we did is up!
Chronic Pain and Sex: a Couple’s Gentle Battle With Fibromyalgia
I’m pleased with it. There are very few, mostly immaterial inaccuracies.
Whoops! Yesterday was FMS/CFW Awareness Day!
I intended to post and maybe even try to get a podcast out, but ended up using my energy to do an interview with a reporter. I don’t know when the piece will come out (it wasn’t for awareness day–that was just an amusing coincidence), but I’ll let you know when/if I hear anything.
She also interviewed Sam, since the topic was “fibromyalgia and intimacy.” He’s so wonderful!
