Highlanders and The Doctor

Current Mood:


- Lucky me!!!!! My grandma heard that I was planning on asking her to look for some books for me at HPB sometime. I planned on waiting, because I wanted to check the antique mall first, but Mom talked me into it.

I know, like THAT was hard to do.

I narrowed my 7 page wish list down to 6 titles. Then Grandma calls from the store today, and said they had 4 books from my list!


I think I'll read either Highland Guardian or Return of the Highlander first. Today I read some excerpts online of both, and I'm having trouble deciding.

I need to get back to the book I've barely started. I've really been hankering to read a good Ghost/Highlander book, but I've been obsessed with working on one of my sites.

I just realized that over the past month I've bought 20 books! (And this isn't even counting EITB). Only 6 of those are used, too. Now THAT is a record. I'm gonna have to buy another pretty box to store them in. I'm tempted to buy a shelf at Borders, as they're selling 3 of the HUGE shelves for $100 and I only need one... I think. The trouble is I wouldn't know where to put it and I'd have to paint it black.

- I'm gonna try to forget about this weekend's Doctor Who episode. Last week's episode I liked - even though "Mels" in the beginning worried me b/c I was afraid she was to be a new character - but I hated the latest. I kept waiting... and waiting... and waiting for something exciting to happen. I had the entire episode figured out early on, too. The monsters were creepy, but it was nothing like the "Blink" episode from Tennant's run. I really thought it would have been similar.

At least Rory didn't die in this one, too.

And why would a BOY (okay, alien) have a dollhouse in the first place? And then there's foreshadowing of The Doctor's death at the end of every episode. They really need to stop that.

I was surprised to see the return of Amy's intro before the music and titles began. I figured they had chucked that for good since it wasn't there last week. A lot of people hate that intro, finding it unnecessary. It doesn't really bother me, but it does leave Rory out.

Rory's my favorite companion. He's a sweetheart.

- This is a flippin' miracle. It's almost 4:30 and it's 84 degrees!!!! Not over 100 for a change. For days it's been really windy, too.

- I think I'm either going to start a brand new personal blog on my other account, since this one looks horrible in Firefox, or just stop having one altogether. I never really talk about anything interesting or important. I just ramble about nothing.

By the way, it bothers me that my wallpapers don't all look the same on Firefox as they do here on IE. Either there's a 'seam' in the background or the top and bottom of the paper is cut off.

Well, I guess I'll look to see if there are any jobs at the schools for tomorrow yet. Whoopty-doo. Can you sense my excitement? Okay, so it's still the lesser of evils. I just wish I had an iphone. I get to school EARLY and am so bored on breaks. Having internet access would make the day so much brighter. I get restless having nothing to do except read or edit one of my books. The day just draaags on and on and on.

I have to find a job with health insurance - thanks obama, you rat b@stard, for taking our freedom of choice away - but am petrified. I'm not a fan of things changing. Already, I'm worried and feel such dread over the future. I can actually feel myself trying not to panic.

Update: Didn't realize it's Labor Day Weekend. No school tomorrow.

Talked to my niece for a bit on webcam via her brand spankin' new iphone which she's so excited about. It was nice seeing her. I missed seeing Luke though. His girlfriend Stephanie was there. Mom said Luke was carrying her around the house on his back. Lol! It's their anniversary today.
