Book Switch

crossover_chickFinished the third Science of Discworld book the other day. Again, good stuff, even if the higher-level math stuff kind of made my head spin a bit. The wizards were in truly fine form with this one -- and I liked their defeat of their enemy.
Said enemy being everyone's favorite organic life haters, the Auditors! The wizards use chocolate against them at one point, at Ponder Stibbons's suggestion. He says something about literature on the subject -- I suspect what he really did was drop in on Susan during a quiet moment in class. XD Darwin's interactions with the wizards were great too -- though I'm a little sad that a comment about him resembling Ridcully never resulted in the two being switched at any point. That would have been hilarious. XD
All in all, good stuff, and I hope I can get my hands on the fourth eventually. Right now, having finished off all my Pratchett, I'm rereading an old favorite: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Silly fun with a penchant for fine literature -- what more could you ask for?
Been a pretty good Friday overall, I have to say. Class went well, the weather started off kind of rainy but actually got rather nice, and I managed to finish up the new chapter 3 of "In the Land of the Dead" without incident. Got utterly creamed by both real-life person and the AI in Hearthstone, though. Still have some deck-learning to do. Ah well, at least I unlocked some of the Druid's basic cards.
As for DragonVale, I went ahead and upgraded the Epic Breeding Island to the Epic Breeding Sanctuary -- I have the gems for a change, so might as well use them. Still no sign of the Emerald, but I'll keep trying. I did, however, get a pleasant surprise when I got my Snowy Olympus egg last night:
It's a Gold! I got Gold Tier! :D That's pretty awesome for my first Snowy Olympus. I'm building the habitat right now -- I figure I'll put Hera in that, and the Snowy Gold (whatever its name will be) can join her there, while Theseus and Zeus take care of the first. *rubs hands* Gonna be soooo rich. . .
So yeah, that was nice. :D
And now I should take care of my tags and suchlike. One final picture for anyone wondering what my new haircut looks like, though -- I took a selfie for posting on tumblr earlier:
Most people seem to think I'm cute. Do you agree?
Later!

Nothing much beyond profit breeding and Emerald failing. Current DragonCash count is 152,114,669 and current gem count is 492.
Yep, that's it. Heh.

Heh, same here. I'm about the same level with Dragoncash, I think -- 158,809,091. Gem count is 314 -- I almost spent the 175 to upgrade the breeding cave, but I think I'll rebuild my stock a bit before I do that.
