I drove down to Wrightsville Beach in Wilmington today with my parents and grandmother, and had good day at the beach. It was one of the most relaxing days I've had in some time, even though I got sunburned. Bikinis abounded on the beach, barely disguising young and nubile women, and some that were neither young nor nubile and probably shouldn't have even been looking in the bikini section of the store in the first place. And for a holiday weekend, I was shocked at how peaceful and uncrowded the beach was. It was quite a lot of fun.

I turned in my review tonight of The Scar by China Mieville to Green Man Review, and will post the link to it when it becomes available. I must say that I was quite loquacious and mellifluous with my review. I'm rather proud of it.

All right, I'm off to bed, but not before slathering another layer of blue aloe goo across most of my upper body.
