Oh hey! Did you know that The Road is a depressing book? I didn't know either, despite everyone telling me that. I finally picked up a copy of it because Wolf and I want to read it before the movie comes out. I think most of my co-workers told me that it was depressing and I've heard it from several other people who saw me reading it. I'm just ( Read more... )

I don't know what it is with people, but as soon as they learn that I'm a fan of sci-fi/fantasy, they recommend Eragon. Not in a "OH HAI Have you read this?" way, but in an "If you like JKR, then you must love Eragon!" way. And it's just not one or two people. I get this damn rec almost monthly. You can just tell that they think they're the ( Read more... )

Yes, I am going to whinge about movies again. Look, I'm working in children's with literally nothing to do. When I ask Legion for something--anything--to work on, I'm told that I don't need to worry about that, just baby-sit, make sure the little brats don't burn down the play house thingy and help patrons should any need it. As a result, I am ( Read more... )

So I get up this morning and what do I see? Snow. Damn it, Michigan! I know you like being contrary and I swear there's always a chance of snow, but it's almost April. How about some of those spring showers I've been hearing about? Though when I asked why it was snowing, my mother replied, "Because it's Thursday ( Read more... )

I am exhausted. Normally I love my job, but today was just... It felt like the holiday season again; we were swamped nearly all day. One of my coworkers called me early this morning because she was stuck in her driveway (she says, though my supervisor tends to think otherwise). I think I must have sounded drugged on the phone. I am not a ( Read more... )

It's been a while since I've had what I would consider a bad day, but today comes close. I woke up much later than I had wanted, but I figured since today was my first day off in nearly a week (not counting Sunday when I did a bunch of work at home), I'd settle in, work on my latest cross-stitch project and have a mini The Shield marathon ( Read more... )

I woke up this morning to thunder, but no rain, which is quite worrisome. To make matters worse, the sky was extremely dark, as in ten at night dark, but still no rain. No green sky either, which is awesome as a green sky is usually an indicator of a tornado. As I've been privy to two or three tornadoes and several extremely bad thunderstorms ( ( Read more... )
