Have started studying again! First up a short course on study skills that is a prerequisite for university prep course I'll be starting in March. I'm looking forward to it, I'll be studying ancient history and possibly going with that at uni, but am not totally sure. May go in a more sociology/pop culture direction. Who knows, I've got time to think about it. And plenty of time to freak out and calm down about how much debt I'll be in by the end of this.
Woke up sick yesterday but luckily the class study skills class is in the afternoon. Still sick today though. Fortunately I bought the DVD of the TV version of the Dresden Files and have now watched the entire season. Paul Blackthorne is a good actor and I had no idea that he's English and not American, but I still picture Harry as James Marsters in my mind. I haven't read any of the books yet but I have Death Masks as an audio book read by Marsters. I want the rest of the audio books now. The real, text ones too. But James just reads them so well. He's up there with Neil Gaiman when it comes to storytelling to my mind.
Am living in Stanmore now, which is nice. 15 minutes stroll from Newtown and many interesting shops and eateries. Definite upgrade from where I was before. Still wish I hadn't been forced to move though.
I really, really wish I had more Dresden Files to read/watch/listen to. It's nice to have a new fandom to throw myself into.
