Things!

~I finished the BBC "Life on Mars" and spent most of the finale keening into my fists.  So good.  I love you, John Simm.

~I tried to watch The Proposal and failed.  I'd heard so many good things but I was bored out of my effing mind.  Not one chuckle in the first half hour and the actors all seemed to be thinking about what they were going to ( Read more... )

Summer in the bookstore means scads of spoiled preteen summer campers with sticky fingers (I assume, thus I watch like a hawk).  But it also means summer school, and there's some fun classes stuff in the summer.  I loved summer school and did at least one class of it every year.  One of the English classes is doing Macbeth which I flippin love.  ( Read more... )

So I re-watched the season finale.  Because, well, I've seen every episode at least twice and maybe I was just in a mood.

( Moar thinkey thoughs. )

I realize how utterly ridiculous and uncool the whole Texas Textbook Massacre is, but really, who learned anything in History class anyway?  Pretty sure I learned a lot more history just by reading and watching movies and being aware of the world around me than being forced to draw time lines.  But anyway.  Yeah, it's really stupid and making the ( Read more... )

Oh, Elliot.  The pickup has been wobbly whenever I go over 50 mph.  Wobbly isn't fun.  I figured the alignment was wack, but it's something to do with the suspension and it's going to, more or less, cost a paycheck.  Luckily my parents want to buy it off of me when I move on, and are chipping in.  (They'll probably be buying it cheap, btw.)  ANYway ( Read more... )

Been reading some of the Sherlock Holmes stories and they're great fun.  It felt wrong fangirling the movie without having ever read the books.  Literary temerity; I has it.  I've even come across some lines that are directly quoted in the movie.  Most of them are great fun at least, some have these looong boring setups with Holmes not doing much ( Read more... )

Book reccy time! I don't want to even talk about my work week. It's finals and students are selling back books and temps don't know what to do and my crazy effing co-worker only gets effing crazier when it's busy. So tired, but tonight I (finally) finished Shutter Island. I don't read a whole lot of mysteries. The beginnings are intriguing, ( Read more... )

Book reccy time! I haven't had much time to get into any of our current general reading books due to busy-ness at the bookstore lately. But we've had a lag and I got something for ya. Not looking forward to next week when we do inventory though ( Read more... )

So I couldn't find a version of Supernatural 5.3 where the sound wasn't terrible jacked from the audio.  (Fail, internets.)  So I finished reading "Julie and Julia", which we have in the bookstore and I checked out of the library.  She's a cynic after my own heart.  I haven't seen it but I really don't think the movie looked much like the book is ( Read more... )
