Saturday sucked my…well, something. It sucked something. Saturday existed inside one of those anomalies in which time passes very very slowly despite the fact that one finds one’s self very very busy the entire day.
However, it had a high point, in that I purchased my hold books:
& 
& 
Also, the store just began stocking Sigg brand water bottles, which are apparently all famous because in a test of a whole lot of different kinds of water bottles, they alone proved to be unbreakable, and they are made from a solid piece of aluminum and don’t leach chemicals into your water like plastic does.
Since Briggs had mentioned that he was needing a water bottle for work, I got him this one:
<–purty water bottle
When I got home my day was further improved when we had yummy pizza from Vocceli’s and watched Superbad–which was somewhat funny…but characters in movies and tv shows that are painfully awkward I find less funny and more uncomfortable reminders of my youthful social awkwardness. And current social awkwardness. The cops were awesome though.
Today was much better.
I looked at the inside of a coworker’s mouth.
I explained the general idea of D & D to another coworker.
I also told him that we had awesome dragon parties when he wasn’t working, where dragons flew around everywhere and toasted marshmallows for us.
I drank coffee.
<–my bangs are longer than this now, and I have a side part today.
I got to help mold a young mind when asked a teenage boy in the SciFi/Fantasy section if he needed any recommendations and he said yes. He apparently only just discovered the genre when they read some scifi at school and he really liked it, and also really enjoyed Ender’s Game. I recommended:
<–of course, after I told him how cool it is, I looked and we didn’t have any in stock. I felt lame. So then I recommended:
…which he thought sounded cool. Then I asked him if he had read any Neil Gaiman before, and he told me he had never heard of him. At that point I knew it was my duty to teach the young man before me and lead him to the right reading choices. So I recommended:
and 
and he seemed properly impressed with the fact that he needed to read all three of the books I had so highly recommended.
I have decided that I need a prescription pad, so I can write people an Rx for the books they need to read. 
I straightened the SciFi/Fantasy section and in doing so discovered that a book I had suggested the store needed had arrived:
<–this book is awesome.
After work, Briggs and I gave a coworker a ride home and then went grocery shopping — I’m pretty much broke now, but we have food again, which is cool. 
Tomorrow I have school — painting and computer literacy.
Tuesday I have a dentist appointment and have to finish up my project for concept development.
I’m almost done with Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell:
…which has, close to the end become rather engaging…Mr. Strange created a tincture with which to make himself mad in order to be able to see faeries, so he could then ask one for aid in his magical studies. The faerie he spoke to, however, happened to be one that held him in quite low regard and had already stolen Mrs. Strange to it’s own land. It has now placed a curse on Mr. Strange in anger that he found his way to the faerie’s castle.
I am also nearly finished with:
I am currently about halfway through the movie.
I have to say that the series had me quite put out when one of my favorite characters died, and they kept him in the opening credits for like, another 2 seasons. But they finally changed it for the last season. …however, what’s up with that?
