I LOVE THIS CD.

Okay, so today was awesome. Just...totally awesome. Beyond awesome. Uber-amazing. Wicked spiffy. Today was, in all honesty, the first wicked spiffy day in, like, forever.

Summary

1oooamEST
I wake up 'round here, pull on some loose-fitting pants, a tight shirt reading 'Everyone is entitled to my opinion,' and arise from my tomb of a room. Wander for a bit, ruminate on whether Veteran's Day is a national holiday or not, and whether the mail will come today.

12oopmEST
Get a call from dearest Amber, whom I have not spoken to since Oct 29th or thereabouts, and whom I have not seen since Red Eye came out back in August or whenever. Discuss earrings and Jeff Farnum and Eric Vogel [that's the name of the guy who used to sing what's your fantasy? to me...'i wanna, li-li-li-lick you from your head to your toes...' that song.] and all that fun stuff.

13opmEST
I get off the phone with Amber, and call mr raskolnikov, who is in the shower. Wander for a bit, get called back, decide that I'm hanging with said raskolnikov and the mother thereof at Barnes and Noble, where Dawn [the mother.] works from 6oopmEST 'til 1ooopmEST, whilst the mother works. Do so.

6oopmEST
Wander Barnes and Noble with eighty dollars. This would be a bad idea if I did not have one check already and another coming tomorrow. However, it is a VERY good idea with two checks. I purchase six books: Andrew Wyeth, Memory and Magic; The Inferno, by Dante Alighieri; The Once and Future King, by T.H. White; Dissolution, War of the Spider Queen Book I, by R.A. Salvatore; Insurrection, War of the Spider Queen Book II, by R.A. Salvatore; and The Crimson Petal and the White, by Michel Faber.

1ooopmEST
Return home.

Book Descriptions

The Three have been good to me in this endeavour -- I wanted all of these very, very much. Andrew Wyeth, for those who don't know, is an American artist who is very well-known, and really amazing. He's realism, I s'pose, and very good at it -- a lot of his pics look like they could be photographs. The tsarevich enjoys him quite a bit, so it's a nice book to have for the winter. The War of the Spider Queen has gone up to book VI; I'm just getting started on them. I feel a tad sad that it took that long, but so be it. The Crimson Petal and the White is about this prostitute in Victorian England who works her way up through society. The Once and Future King is about King Arthur, and 'the fantasy masterpiece by which all others are judged.' The Inferno is, of course, Dante's Inferno -- the first of the trilogy.

Epilogue

So that's my whole day. Fun, ne? Work, Japanese class, and checks tomorrow -- possibly more shopping -- I want a daily planner thing like Jean has. :XD: And finals. That's about it for tomorrow. Oh, and the tsarevich's letter, and netflix. That's about it. More tomorrow, perhaps.
