Ugh I really suck at updating more.

I have a few hours to kill before the Battleship game at [livejournal.com profile] teamgalactica so there you go.

What should I update about? Absolutely nothing is going on in my job search right now, other than me sending applications and feeling frustrated as usual.

Still looking for ways to keep busy in a useful way, I'm trying to learn a bit of Spanish again (studied it at school for 9 years! well not that many hours a week but still, I'm so bad at it vs English) by teaching myself a bit of vocabulary everyday and I bought a couple of short stories books because reading+TV+movies is how I learned English so it should work for other languages too!

Speaking of books, I'm reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society right now and loving it. I'd never wondered about what happened to the Channel Islands during WWII. Of course the answer is "terrible things". But there's also hope and friendship and love of books. So this book is making me smile and cry, which is a good sign by my standards.

Oh, and I wanted to talk about Caprica because the mid-season finale was craaaaazy.

is it Fall yet? )

I've just finished a book (Castle's Heat Wave lol) and am now stuck in a "what should I read next?" limbo...

I have a LOT of books hanging around in my room or sitting in my iPhone.

Some I bought, some I was given, some are classics, some are contemporary... help?

Also, feel free to leave me other recs in comments, I'm always looking for more books...

(working on the alphabet meme! should post today)

I'm still in a Beatles mood and rewatched A Hard Day's Night last night (which is the only Beatles movie I've seen, and I'm currently trying to obtain the others) and I had a weird dream. I was working at the Chicago Cook County with Dave Malucci (I did catch a couple of old S5 ER episodes on TV last week) and I was on my break and went to buy donuts and I chatted a while with the guy selling them. It was a young George Harrison. LOL.

2009 PICSPAMS
Part 1: New Celeb Crushes
Part 2: Favorite Books/Movies/Music



Again, no particular order. These were not necessarily released in 2009, but I watched/read them for the 1st time in 2009 or listened to them a lot. Maybe I'll edit this list if I see sth awesome before the year is over.



coming next...
Part 3: Top TV Characters
Part 4: Best TV Moments

Status on my BSG auction item: it has shipped and has traveled from California to Philadelphia. Estimated delivery date = Monday. Merchandise description: Costume from TV Show. LOL

Can't remember if I mentioned this here but I landed a 2nd itw for a job! (the one from last week) Itw is next Wednesday. I guess my "spontaneous cover letter" was good enough!

Have started reading the Sookie Stackhouse books. Sometimes listening to the audiobooks instead. A woman narrates the story and her Bill & Sam voices are hilarious (to me). Also, this quote:
"Eric is much better looking than I am," Bill said. "He is more powerful, and I understand sex with him is unforgettable."


LOL!

I've joined yet another whedonland-like community! It's [livejournal.com profile] himymland and it's focused on - wait for it - How I Met Your Mother! I bet you didn't see that coming, right? lol So please join the fun! I landed in Team Lily&Marshall.

I had other things to write about and forgot. I'm busy writing fic for the fic fest at [livejournal.com profile] whedonland. One is done (Better Off Ted fic!), two to go! One of these is a unlikely crossover with (so far) 3 references to 3 other shows lol.

Oh I know, I'm watching Merlin. It's fun. It makes me say things like "Hey, King Giles, shouldn't you be doing the research about spells instead of letting Gaius do it?" And of course in my mind the only Gaius is Baltar. The next episode I'm watching has Santiago Cabrera, and I knew he was in it, but I didn't know he was playing Lancelot! I find this hilarious for a reason.

Glee is back (for real) tonight!!! Fall season is starting at least!!! yay!!!
hobbitofkobol: (BOOKS good omens car on fire)
I'm out of new books, I think I'll buy some tomorrow... any recommendations?

(these are often recommanded but I've already read them: anything Tolkien, Good Omens, American Gods, H2G2, the lovely bones, the incident of the dog during the night-time)
