Hope your weekend was better than mine. Saturday morning i caught a virus/worm (in the form of a "malware detector" no less, how wicked is that?) that blocked my PC – my brother saved the day, BUT I still can't reinstall the printer, the driver fails to install, so I can scan, I have a fax (that I don't use) but no printer!
The scanner works, though, so I scanned chapter 7 of SKYBAND, so I can start coloring and lettering. This week I'll be working on chapter 8 at work and the above-mentioned at home. I also went through my notes and research for the end of the historical novel (I had stopped at the death of King Richard and needed to check again the facts under King John), so I hope to write The End on draft 1 this week. Then I must leave it aside for some time and go back to it around the end of the summer – although in this case it might be hard to edit after such a long time, as I'll probably forget where I found the stuff I used in the book. Although I have a limited number of chronicles to look at… we'll see.
Still have to hop around your blogs, be patient with me, but I can't read on screen for very long, so I print out even blog posts and read them offline. I went through the Six Sentences yesterday because Sunday I couldn't print anything! But don't worry, you'll have some links on Friday anyway.
Mailman was good so I got my printed copies of Fire. It is now available on Lulu, although only in the "US edition". By the way, I took off the "European edition" of Air as well, makes more valuable the copies I have ordered! I'll feel less guilty asking for 20euros, as it's a collector's edition now!

Fire, "European" Air, and Air!
Something I found this weekend: things that happen when you choose your cover from stock photos - duplicate. Check these two books from two different authors… Sunlit Days moonlit nights and Safe with me… (I'm going to buy the second as soon as it's complete, and I see there's a new cover on the Volume1, good job, Shaina! )
Not being able to "work" meant I watched a couple of DVDs from my pile… and I picked up Dhoom 1 & 2. I can see the influence of American movies such as Point Break, Speed and Ocean's 11, but all is boiled down Indian style, with wonderful disco songs to dance to.
Did I mention in my last ramblings about Bollywood I might soon have another "movie crush"? Well, ladies, check out Hrithik Roshan in the opening titles of Dhoom 2 (gentlemen, you can watch him do the same number in the company of beautiful Aishwarya Rai in the end titles):

Arf! Pity he's married and younger than me!
Anyway, both movies are fun to watch, with your "strange couple" of cops who will be back in action next year. Abishek is the tough guy, Uday Chopra the funny one, and if they pick up another bad guy had good looking as the first two (John Abraham and Hrithik Roshan), well, I'm not going to miss Dhoom 3 next year!
Have a gread week!
