the curse of the paladin

Am reading Paladin of Souls Funny, I like it much better than I liked the first book's hobbling stuttering prose. Or is the codeine talking? Anyway I'm enjoying it! Super cheez! But also way better feminism. Ista is pretty cool so far, despite my not being able to forget that she is a peninsula and a weyr.

I passed out earlier tonight. It doesn't feel like I'm getting any better.

Have applied "Urb@n Decay" stuff, the sharpie marker for your lips, about once every 20 minutes, preening coyly for myself in front of hand mirror and digicam. Soon, I will also douche, spray, shave my pits with pink flowered razors, and wear one of those mattress-sized maxi pads while dancing around in a white gauze dress in a field of flowers with vaseline smeared all over the camera lens. Isn't that what happens when one starts down the slippery slope of makeup?

However I must say that I look divinely haggard wearing this lip sharpie stuff.
