Friday Quotes
It’s Friday! Well, not really. In reality it’s currently Thursday evening as I type this, but I’ll be phoning it in from here on. I am definitely ready for the weekend. In my mind’s eye I’m already sipping drinks with tiny umbrellas in ‘em (ever have one of those weeks?) and catching up on my blu-ray movies. I just finished Endymion this afternoon (this series gets better with each novel) and am now reading One Second After. I’m really looking forward to a bit of reading in the backyard under the umbrella, my feet up and with a large glass of Mexican Coca Cola by my side (this stuff is awesome!).
Here’s a quick round-up of quotes I’ve come across this week. Hope everyone here has a great weekend, and I’ll see you again on Monday!
