Pictured above, the January sci-fi releases I’ve got to get around to checking out…whenever the dust settles on this Stargate writers room.  I’m intrigued by some, somewhat dubious about others, but am prepared to be pleasantly surprised.  And, above all else, entertained.  For you readers of sci-fi, have you heard anything about the above-pictured books?  Or are there any January releases not pictured I should put on my to-read list?

Friday, departure day, fast approaches.  We’re catching a 10 am flight out of Toronto (which means we should be at the airport for around 7 am.  Brutal.) and should arrive in Los Angeles for around 12:30 p.m. local time.  Sharky has proven a marvelous traveler on these 1 hour flights to and from Montreal.  Let’s hope he is equally good on a five and a half hour flight.

By the time we get to our hotel, it’ll probably be 1:30 p.m.  We’ll spend one night at the hotel and then move into our place the following day, which gives us the better part of three days (since Monday is a holiday) to get settled in and scope out the neighborhood.

But before then, we need to pack!  How many pairs of socks and underwears?  How many suits?  How many dress shits and t-shirts?  How much emergency chocolate?

What am I forgetting?
