Booksies and movies...ies!

Today must be 'See Some Celebrities' day because I've seen four in a span of one hour. I went to have the labs and diagnostics for my physical exam and when I came back to the lab with my urine specimen, Polo Ravales was there, in which I stared at him for a few seconds because he was right there facing the door when you enter. And he seems to be needing a stool specimen, as I heard that part quite clearly. Hahahaha. Celebrity stool specimen! It can be Christian Bale's stool, but it is still stool and therefore, ick.

Went to Gateway right after, and saw the Pinoy Big Brother Season 1 housemates (Uma, Jason, Franzen?) shooting something in the floating oasis. Everyone was blatantly watching through the glass windows, which was embarassing, IMO. It's like, uh, you haven't seen celebrities before?

Anyway. Fully Booked! My favourite ever bookstore. I love that it's accessible to me, too. I got Eragon as planned, but I was all in a tizzy because David Eddings' Pawn of Prophecy was on stock as well as the entire Dune series. I was all "EEE should I get this one as well? Should I? Should I? Should I?" all over the bookstore.

Tomorrow, after I send in my stool specimen to the lab (or more like my Mum's, because I just find it icky to catch my own stool) and finish that part of my physical exam, I will hopefully be going back to Gateway to watch Dead Man's Chest and then buy one of those books. What do you think should I get? Pawn of Prophecy, Dune, Dune Messiah, or Children of Dune?

Fully Booked isn't using brown paper bags for the purchased items anymore, they're using plastic. So while I was hanging out with a blizzard from Dairy Queen, I noticed that they had names of authors printed on the plastic in a crazy messy way. Picture, if you're interested. Anyway, so I had fun trying to remember their first names.

- Emerson (Ralph Waldo)
- Clancy (Tom)
- Blume (Judy)
- Grisham (John)
- Tolkien (John Ronald Reuel)
- Marquez (Gabriel Garcia-)
- Sheldon (Sidney)
- Hugo (Victor)
- Cervantes (Miguel de?)
- Pratchett (Teri? Terry, as corrected by alexi_lupin)
- Gaiman (Neil)
- Hemingway (Ernest)
- Dickens (Charles)
- Shakespeare (William)
- Homer (I'm pretty sure he was never know with a first name)
- Dumas (Alexander/Alexandre)
- Shelley (Mary)
- Kostova (Elizabeth...or there could be another Kostova)
- Tolstoy (Leo)
- Twain (Mark)
- Fleming (Alexander? HAHAHA. aciss said it must be Ian, because Alexander is probably the inventor of pennicillin. Hee.)

And the authors I have no idea what their first names are:
- Ishiguro (Kaguro, says red_erythros)
- Buck (Pearl S., says karins04
- Alvino (James, says seannydiggory)
- Fitzgerald (F. Scott, says quidditchkiss)
- Forsythe (William, says quidditchkiss)
- Andersen (Hans Christian, says acess)
- Dostoevsky (Fyodor, says quidditchkiss)
- Wells (H.G., says alexi_lupin and quidditchkiss. I'm too lazy to look up what it stands for. XD seannydiggory says it's Herbert George)
- Weiss (I swear, the only thing that comes up on my brain is Eric, from Alias XD)
- Puzo (Mario, says quidditchkiss)

I'm pretty sure Rowling is there, just covered by that Fully Booked mark. :D I see hints of a 'wli' near the upper right of it.

Alright, I'm done spamming for the day! Now I just have to decide if I should spend the rest of the day with Eragon first or with Grey's season two. :D
