SOUP FOR YOU! – Day 15
February 22nd, 2010
Since I worked on Saturday, I took today to go to my parents’ house and make soup with my dad. I had a bunch of vegetable stock I made that I had to start using up, and I thought making a soup with my father would be the perfect thing. We love making soup together.
We started out wanting a recipe, but later decided just to concoct a vegetable soup ourselves. It’s quite yummy and went well with the homemade bread I made this morning.
Gotta write tomorrow. And I have a little bit of coding work coming in too, so I have to accommodate for that.
Busy times. :)
Have you read Orson Scott Card’s “Ender’s Game” series of science fiction novels? In one of them, he uses OCD in a fascinating way. If I remember, I’ll tell you about it over tacos later. :)
I have read Ender’s Game (which I really loved) but never any of the other books in the series. A lot of people say they aren’t worth it. What do you think?
I’m not sure how familiar you are with the books that follow Ender’s Game. I started to type up an explanation when I realized that Wikipedia beat me to it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ender's_Game_(series)
The 3 he wrote right after Ender’s Game follow Ender as an adult. They get pretty philosophical and don’t “feel” much like Ender’s Game. But they’re still good, if you like science fiction. It’s the 2nd & 3rd of those that introduce the folks with OCD (“the godspoken”).
The more recent Shadow series feel a lot more like Ender’s Game. The first of them (Ender’s Shadow) actually parallels Ender’s Game, but from the perspective of Bean instead of Ender. Very interesting.
Just talking about them is making me want to re-read the whole series. :)
Looks like that wikipedia link broke at the apostrophe. And the whole thing was meant to be a reply to your earlier comment. Oops! :)
