In fannish news...How did I not know about this? Kiefer warrants a biography now, and there's a 24: Behind The Scenes, book?

Man. I remember posting months ago about losing at fandom and I really really do. Ah well, I'm sure life goes on. But still. I may have to look into purchasing one of those, probably the latter. I am a geek for behind-the-scenes info.

Things to do for tomorrow:

  • Get up
  • Put laundry on, empty car of college bag/random stuff
  • Drive to town, praying that petrol will last the five mile trip
  • Get money, pay bills
  • Buy AC/DC CD's and perhaps a book (His Dark Materials has got to be bought at some point, though there's a lush art book I want too)
  • Buy some food and toiletries and get bags of change to replace stuff nicked from Housemate Jen's change jar in desperation three days ago (not my finest hour)
  • Buy attractive!Sam cigarettes to replace the ones 'borrowed' from him over the last three weeks
  • Fill car up with petrol (praying petrol lasts the three-mile journey back to the petrol station)
  • Go to work to give money to Cute Polish Boy for cheap Polish cigarettes to replace ones borrowed from Cool Girl!Polish Mate, Renata. And give him money for other stuff that we won't discuss here
  • Go home, remove all programs and files and pictures and tunes etc from mother's computer
  • Get in car, drive 200 miles to Gloucester
  • Stop off in Gloucester to meet buddy Ginger for drink/lunch
  • Go to mother's, change computers, hang out and chat for polite amount of time
  • Drive 200 miles back to Lancaster - stop off at work to see Cute Polish Boy and maybe have a pint with attractive!Sam
  • Go home, set up own computer (*squee!*) again, start putting files etc back onto it
  • Sleep, because have to be at work for 7am next day

Gah! is all I have to say to that.

you have got to buy His Dark Materials - i fell in love with it - it's where my screen name comes from - tho it has no significance beyond that - just liked the name

I've been meaning to for so damn long now, there's no reason why it shouldn't be tomorrow. And I'm desperate for something awesome to read. So, probably. Depends how much I can restrain myself from buying music, heh.

*gasp* When you're in Gloucester, you won't be very far from me. How exciting for you!

Also, seconding the HDM enabling.

*gasps also* It is exciting! And when you were in Lancaster, you can't have been very far from me! Small ol' world, I'm tellin' ya.

...damnit, I have to get this book, don't I?'

Weeell, it was technically only Lancastershire. But I've been to Lancaster proper on numerous occasions, so we may well have been in it at the same time. Maybe even more than ONCE :O

And yes.

Although it is, I think, a little overrated.

Lancastershire? *sporfles* Um...Lancashire? But, yes! It's more than likely we have. How weird! :O!!! indeed. :D

Overrated or not, it still sounds like a must-read. I know virtually nothing of it so I don't have too many expectations. I was told the vague outline once and can't remember a single thing of it, heh.

... I'd like to plead temporary insanity, please O_O Lancashire *facepalm*

It's fun for a bit of pseudointellectual, anti-Churchwithacapitalc, well-written YA literature! Although I'm a little shocked someone out there hasn't read it already.

*accepts plea* It's late!

Ooooh, it does sound intruiging. And well-written is always the key thing in any book for me so I'm sure I'll love it.

In RP-stuff...is it OK if Ramon smacks Sands right about now, or would you rather he didn't? he just wants to once, for being cheeky, and then plans on shooting him...I'll hit up Madb for a Goddess!Intervention at that point though I dunno if she's around tonight.

I think my brain was still kind of stuck on Gloucester, and thus Gloucestershire.

Northern Lights is a bit slow, I find (though I haven't read it in a while), but it's well worth slogging through it to get to the Subtle Knife. The Amber Spyglass has a general consenus of awesome, and a fabulously cynical view of life after death.

Ooh, yeah, sure. He's asking for it, really.

*will buy them all* Or even better, get the Mother to buy me a book token for Chrimbo. That'd be awesome. :D

Punching has happened. Always fun! Although I'm about to have to beg slowtime again as I have a loooong day tomorrow.

*snerks* book tokens are the best things ever! There are sooo many books I want for xmas this year, but I'm relying on getting mostly money to fund my trip to OMGWTFYAYMexico.

Aww, okay *pokes in direction of bed*
