No long-winded post today.
This is basically how I've spent half the day feeling, hence why there's no ridiculously long-winded post to go with today.

I just found out that one of my friends died 25 weeks ago.
I found out by accident, by cleaning out my inbox on Dreamwidth.
I didn't even intend to stop there, it was just where my mouse ran out of room to move- and then I read it in the Dreamwidth announcements.
I only met her once.
I met her online first.
I met her in real life second. Just once. Just ( Read more... ) -
Why I wasn't a part of the Jurassic Park franchise
When I was a smaller munchkin, I took drama classes outside of school. Somehow, somebody had decided that I'd be good at it.
I regret them all now, because I quite often didn't enjoy them, and they were expensive. I regret being in choirs for the same reason (a secondary reason for regretting being in choirs is that it apparently gave me an inflated ( Read more... ) -
I shouldn't be registering this as cold, frankly
The temperature-measuring thingie for this house informed me just now that it was 19 degrees (that's Celsius).
Now, I've just been thinking to myself that it was all cold and stuff. Clearly, I was wrong. Because 19 degrees is warm, yo. It is very warm.
While I was in Canada, it was DAMN cold. We're talking seriously cold. 25 below 0 was a fairly ( Read more... ) -
Why I love my eReader, but also kinda hate it a little at the same time.
Upon moving to Australia this time, I brought with me nine (mostly small) books, one magazine for reading on the plane, one Star Wars recipe book, and one recipe journal. All but the three smallest books, the magazine, and the recipe journal, I posted to myself. They arrived at different times, and so forth.

How I go through a shopping spiral.
I don't normally shop. This may be because my mother has instilled in me her generalised hatred of shopping; it might be because I tend to view the most effective shopping as the method my father uses, thus rendering the concept of 'staying hours at a mall to try on shoes' as ridiculous to me; or it could be because I don't like spending money on ( Read more... ) -
there was going to be a terribly TMI post here
But I decided to spare you. I wrote it last night then suddenly it all got WAAAAY too much and I left it unfinished and didn't post it ( Read more... ) -

The trouble with sorting one's library - whether Virtual or Physical - is that one always becomes distracted by the contents of the books themselves.
This happens especially when sorting through books which you can't quite remember if the title applies to a Marple or a Poirot or which section of the overall history of Star wars (I'm note-perfect in ( Read more... ) -
Been watching David Tennant's Hamlet
I've never considered a 'this is ALL A CUNNING SETUP' option for the start of Hamlet before, possibly because I've only read it or watched a highly abridged comedic version of it, but watching the start of it really really makes me go 'dude, this HAS to be a setup ( Read more... ) -
sick of the interruptions
I want to just stay here and do my damn OSH book.
I do not want to go into the damn class, which I have finished.
Why?
Because the INSTANT I walk in there, the teacher will expect me to help her teach.
I am not getting paid for this.
Merely because I have finished the damn courses, does not mean that I should be expected to then teach the course.
