The books of Anne McCaffrey’s Pern are finally going to be a movie:

I went out for a walk while running some errands, but technically I walked when running the errands, and ended up running when I got to the park. I’m a little concerned about what might happen if I blow my nose.

In other news, I think I’m going to stop watching the news for a while. It’s just too depressing.

And in iCarly news, a big secret is going to be revealed tonight. Sam has a crush on someone, and I think I know who it is! I’m making spaghetti tacos and staying up late!

I might just have to create a regiment of women warriors for my next book after seeing this:

And in fantasy news, HBO have released an extended clip of the upcoming Game of Thrones series, you know, if you’re into that kind of thing 🙂 WARNING – This clip shows some graphic violence with gore.

So I went for a wander at lunch, looking less for inspiration and more for something to nibble on. In the course of my meanderings I ‘discovered’ Glaser’s Bake Shop on 87th and 1st Ave today. I put discovered in quotes because the place has been there 109 years. How cool is that? I’ll answer, very cool. The staff, Rita and Terri, were super friendly. The original architecture gives the place so much character I spent more time looking at that than the baked goods 🙂 You can check it out here: http://www.glasersbakeshop.com/

I’ll definitely be back, although now I’ll have to run and workout even more! If you live in NYC or are just visiting stop in and check it out, but make sure your gym membership is current before you do.
