katikatI had a blast this weekend with my lovely ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dinofly! *kisses* We saw Brno's dragon (which is actually a crocodile :P) and the wheel and the face in the wall and we went up on the view-tower and to a bar (I had Pina Colada and Sex on the Beach :D) and we talked until like 3 AM on both, Friday and Saturday, and then we slept until almost 11 AM and... It was simply amazing! We have to do that again soon :)
And I started translating a new book. It's set in the Dragonlance universe. It's called "Weasel's Luck" and it's written by Michael Williams. It is funny and sarcastic and actually really cute but... and there is a big BUT there with capital letters. Michael Williams started as a poet (he wrote poetry for the first Dragonlance trilogy) and his prose is... well... it does SOUND pretty but it's Hell to translate it. Half of the time I have absolutely no idea how to do it. I do understand what's being said but we simply don't use phrases like that. Ever. Not even in books. I feel like I'm re-writing it, not translating it. 16 pages a day and I'm a goner, really.
I simply couldn't resist and ordered some books yesterday...
Jordan Castillo Price's "PsyCop: Partners" - gay sci-fi/detective story
Kayelle Allen's "At the Mercy of her Pleasure" - a het sci-fi story with a submissive male (my secret kink!)
Larry Townsend's "A Slave's Gambit" - this one I actually bought from BN because it's hopelessly sold out on Amazon :(
I read some slight spoilers for these two eps and if I got it right, Sam will get killed and Dean will somehow bring him back to life. Awesome!
And now I'm off to my Japanese class!
