Need tylenol ...

*sigh* Well, today is the last day of break, and I'm back to uni tomorrow. The bus strike in Ottawa is still going on and will continue for at least a week, I think, before the next vote comes up. This is pretty aggravating for people like me, who rely on the bus to commute. Argh, argh. Luckily I have a relative of a relative who works at Carleton (yay!) so I will be bumming rides until then.

Anyway, happy New Year! I don't think I've said it yet, have I? I had such a quiet New Year's Eve, just stayed at home and watched the CNN coverage of Times Square. Oh, and rahmbamarama was trying to get 40,000 words by January 1st so I was spamming them :-P

Today my family drove into Ottawa to do a bunch of end-of-holiday shopping, before we were all busy again. I had recieved a $50 gift certificate for Chapters, so we went there and bought about ten books. I grabbed The Uncensored Bible and The Gift of Fear (which came very highly recommended by cleolinda). I also picked up In & Out because it is HILARIOUS.

My brother found a new series of books to read, by Russell Kirkpatric and bought the first four. He has a fear of starting a series and not being able to find all the books, so this is his solution. And my dad picked up some really interesting history books that I simply must borrow once he's done.

Being out all day has given me a headache, unfortunately, so I must be off. Toodles.

movies, books, university, rl
