Susan Hated Literature

I went to see Stardust again last night. Its just so awwww, dontcha think?

Life however is a tad more complicated. And there are a lot more surprises than what might come out of box of chocolates, never mind what Forest Gump’s Mammy used to say.

In shiny shiny news my copy of My So-Called Life has arrived. And is it ever shiny, or is it ever shiny? I don’t know if I should bother watching it now, after all it may be shite. Memory lies, remember.

Bleaurgh, blah blah blah. There is stuff I could blog about, but honestly, I couldn’t be arsed. Not in a bad way, just a sorta meh way. Maybe I need to take a blogging break. But I know that the moment I think I should do something like that I’ll have a genius idea and be forced back into the blogging world. And I’ll be damned if my own brain is going to force me to do anything! Damn you brain! etc

w00t! Shiny. etc etc.

Possibly to be following by Damn this is good, but with the “they cancelled it? wail soon to begin.

So I bought my shiny shiny Nintendo DS Lite last night. And got a great deal from Argos. €149 for the console, a game^[1] and an accessory pack. So basically I paid for the console and got the rest of the stuff for free. I also bought one of those Brain Training thingies. Which was supposed to cost 30 quid, only they only charged my 15. Score!

And I’ve gone ahead and ordered my R2 card plus 2gb micro card so once that arrives I’ll be well sorted for all my gaming needs.

In other news Carl’s RIP Challenge comes to an end today. And for it I read Fool Moon by Jim Butcher, The Prestige by Christopher Priest, Danse Macabre by Laurell K. Hamilton, Wormwood by Poppy Z.Brite, Lost Souls by Michael Collins, and The Road by Cormac MacCarthy. And I’ve just bought Stephanie Meyer’s Eclipse^[2] so I’ll read that this evening. And there are plenty more reviews for you to investigate here.

My poppets arrived yesterday. Today they went exploring and bumped into a spaceship^[1]

They also thought about moving into Minas Tirith, but they are just too big:

Yup, that title is totally true, and totally the coolest thing ever. It is a dinosaur named Dragon King of Hogwarts.

And yes, okay, this is old news, but who cares.

Dude! Teh internet pwns everything. You click somewhere and suddenly you find footage of Simon Geoghegan^[1] scoring a try against England. Oh, and then you find another one.

1994! Nineteen Ninety Four! that’s more than ten years ago. I do have fond memories of watching auld blondie so I do.

Course you also find footage from the IRA’s meeja division, but you gotta take the good with the bad.

But from there I wandered over to the most excellent Big Lebowski.

Truly, this YouTube malarky is the pinnacle of human endeavour.^[2]

Remember Mr. Library man? Do ye? Well he gave me a call. Person who they offered the job to turned it down. I didn’t ask why. So… yes, he offered it to me.

I haven’t quite accepted yet, well I have pretty much, but tomorrow I go chat with him and get a little trained in round the library. So once all that checks out I’ll be moving to a new job.

Money isn’t great, compared to most librarians, but it is a small library, and I’ll be the boss.

Here’s hoping I don’t get any weirdness when I pay my visit tomorrow

Edited to add: Peoples, I want a list of questions I should be asking tomorrow. Bear in mind I’ll be running the library, and they are changing their management system pretty soon. Doesn’t matter whether or not you have any experience in a library though. Just throw some queries my way. Otherwise I’ll forget to ask him anything and be on the phone telling peoples about my new job when I know nothing about it.
