Despite my requesting the dates for Badon Hill off more than two months ago, Jo-Ann had me scheduled to work, and since Bev couldn't do anything I had to call Christy this morning and get that settled. She said just write myself off, but when I did that for the last day I called off (which they still had me scheduled for) I got a call asking why I wasn't in. Didn't get it trouble for it, though, thankfully. Hopefully better luck this time. Then Anthony called to say that he'd gotten into a fender-bender on the way to work. Thankfully no one was harmed, and the car is still driveable, but he got ticketed and we've got a crunched-in front now. I am so effing angry about this. This is the second accident he's been in so far, (as well as at least four near-misses) both of which have been his fault, and we've only had the car a month. I wouldn't be so mad if it was just his car, but it's August's and mine as well, and it was in great condition when we bought it. Now it's a beater, all thanks to him, and of course, he has no money to repair any of the damage. Then during driving practice I pulled out in front of guy too closely, and he went after me, honking me out, passing me, pulling in front and trying to get me to pull over (not happening!), pulling over himself and swearing at me as I went by, then tailgating me so closely I was afraid he'd crash into my back end, and then chasing me through town until we hit a red light, during which he got out of the car and tried to stare at me all menacingly in my side mirror. Thankfully after that we either lost him or he drove off, because we didn't see him again, but by then I was so rattled I had to pull over and wait for my hands to stop shaking. Then on the way home I got caught in a thunderstorm, and it was hailing and raining so hard I had to pull over again because I couldn't see where I was going. Also, it's 5:00 and I've eaten nothing but a serving of tater tots all day. Now I'm listening to birdsong and forest sounds and hoping things will be calmer this evening.

I just stumbled upon George R. R. Martin's livejournal account. |

Kristen Stewart looks like she lives in a state of perpetual hang-over. And she has the acting range of a rag doll. I don't know how she ever accomplished anything. Good grief I hate my life right now. |

If people are going to keep making exorcism movies, then they must be expected to accomplish something new with them, something that adds to the genre. Not that I even watch these movies, but I'm just so tired of this whole girl-on-ceiling-in-nightgown trope that I could gag. Also, it seems no one on my tumblr or LJ reads George R. R. Martin. Which is depressing. Ah, well. |

Gosh, I seriously hope some of my f-list has read these books, or this entire post is just going to burn unanswered in my brain. If you haven't read them, then consider the following paragraphs FULL OF SPOILERS and continue at your own peril. About three months ago, after hearing so many folks waxing eloquent about the Song of Ice and Fire series, I thought to myself "How have I never heard of these books before?" and decided I had to check them out. Eventually I procurred a copy of A Game of Thrones, and am finding the book most enjoyable. (It's also making me yearn for a life of violence and passion followed by an early, bloody and glorious death.) Anyway, I'm about 2/3 into the book and a few days ago, I caught a whisper that Viserys ended up dying, something I have been wishing would happen for most of the book. (Glad to finally see a character I hate end up dying, instead of one I love.) I hopped onto Wikipedia to make sure... during which time I stumbled upon a fuller explanation of the events leading up to Lyanna Stark's death, and the nature of Ned's promise to her. And instantly I thought "Wait a minute! Does that mean that Jon is...?" And low and behold most of the fandom has already discovered and considered this possibility and taken sides. I'm in such literary-shock I almost don't know what to do with myself now, asides from stare blankly at my computer. Was anyone else's mind blown when they figured this out, or is it just because I discovered this so early? END OF SPOILERS and on to unimportant fan-to-fan talk. I'm curious to know who people's favorite characters are. So far most people I've run across seem quite attached to Jon Snow. For my own part I find myself --suprisingly-- drawn to Tyrion Lannister (but he's a sly fellow, so we'll see how I feel about him a couple books from now), and then Danaerys. And also, just from the little you hear of Rhaegar, I think he sounds rather amazing. The descriptions of his death make me want to go make commemorative paintings or tapestries, its just so epic.

I’ve been waiting months for this trailer. Anyone else as excited for this as I am?

I am nearing the end of Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box. I'm hugely eager to continue, as I have looked forward to meeting Anton forever, but at the same time I keep putting it off because I have this feeling the ending is going to break my heart.

Keep seeing the Scott Pilgrim trailer everywhere lately. It looks like it could be really good... or totally lame. Why is so much of life like that? Also, who needs twitter when you can write these mini LJ entries?

Yesterday my brothers and I decided we should have themed movie nights, where we dress, act and eat according to the theme of the movie. (i. e. Tricorns and "ARRRS!" for Pirates of the Carribean) So, tonight we donned suits, fedoras/driving caps and airsoft guns and settled down in the living room to talk in phoney gangster accents and watch Baccano. A lovely time was had by all, and we look forward to doing it again tomorrow... after we've all had some well deserved rest.
