soooooooooooore omg

♣ Drill practices last night were awesome, but apparently I didn't stretch or massage enough post-practice; my right leg either shrieks or creaks at me whenever I use the stairs. ^^; Anyone have favorite stretches or exercises to relieve knee/hip soreness?

♣ Misdirection: DOOM! Also, bears. Ugh, Kurobase!brain, why are you so difficult?

♣ Abbreviated reading update:
- I finished v.5 & 6 of Hikaru no Go the other day! It's been a while since I've gone to Book-Off. I wish it wasn't such a pain to get manga from my local library system, augh. (Let's put it this way: if the website allows you to request specific volumes, it's definitely not in any obvious or logical way.)
- Currently reading: J.K. Rowling's The Casual Vacancy, but not sure I'll make it all the way through. Has anyone else read it? How did you like it?

Do you have a Skype account? There's a support chat going on for Misdirection participants pretty much all hours of the day; come wail over writing 2.5K words with us! ^^

Haven't read The Casual Vacancy, but it's on my to-read list not so much because Rowling! as because depressing and infuriating council shenanigans!

I feel your pain about getting manga from local libary systems. Mine makes it possible to request specific volumes... if they happen to have that volume, and it's not missing or being repaired or w/e. Their copy of Fullmetal Alchemist v4 is currently being repaired, for example. And I know that when I get to v6 I'm going to have to go to a different library system because they just don't have it. (Doesn't everyone have a library card for four different library systems in their city?)

I liked Casual Vacancy. It had just enough of a twist at the end :-)
