They're...interesting, but not...what's the word...good. OK, I've only read the entirety of The Secret Crusade, and to be fair it does have a few genuinely poignant or funny bits. (Like Altaïr crushing hard on Maria while she's all HISSSSSS.) But many other bits are not so great. Provides a lot more context than Revelations, though. Also you shouldn't say such things or I'll have no choice but to trip over my feet and offer one of mine.

You'll have to let me know how that goes. I'd stick to the fried Oreos, but they don't have them at my renfaire anymore. Woe.

No worries, it's been the same here. And then tonight a massive thunderstorm rolled through and I came home to no power in my apartment UGH. (Currently taking sanctuary at a friend's.) I was going to play video games tonight. Do NOT approve. Hopefully it's back on by the time I get home. :T
