I am not even going to touch on the amount of work I have or the ridiculousness of most of it.

So onwards to better things:

+I watched the new Sense and Sensibility via YouTube. Um...really, Andrew Davies? That was kinda crap. Long, overdrawn crap. There were some nice points. I appreciated the eye candy (though I prefer the eye candy from Mr. Davies Northanger Abbey because it makes more silly sense there). I really liked Elinor and Marianne. Marianne looked young! (I love Kate Winslet and I find no fault with her Marianne but this version's looked the age) David Morrisey was a respectable Col. Brandon. (Roomie - Thats Col. Rickman to you!) I liked him well enough. I loved David Williams as Sir John. Mark Gatiss as John Dashwood was great. I prefer this version's Edward Ferrars to Hugh Grant. I am finding more and more fault with FloppyHair!HughGrant. Bottom line: I want to watch in Hi-Res. Might watch again.

+I am re-reading Northanger Abbey. I forgot how awesomely funny it is.

+I just finished The Rest Falls Away by Colleen Gleason. Plot: Buffy-esque heroine in Regency in England. Verdict: I enjoyed it. It is a little too Buffy/Anita Blake at times. The heroine has yet to capture my attention as a really awesome character. On the other hand, the men in her life? Ooooh *fans self*. I like. I really like. I also found myself thinkig while reading this book, how nice it is to actually have vampires be evil. The romance market seems to be inundated with paranomal series all about good vampires. Okay, so there is more to it then that but sometimes that is what it feels like. I plan on getting the next book after I finish what I picked up from my library.

+Doctor Who: Fires of Pompeii. I loved it. This writer stays. He writes old school and I want more!

+I only picked up two comics today (seriously there is nothing this week and next week I really want). Robin was okay. I'm looking forward to see what happens when Batman R.I.P. comes out and the repercussions that would be seen in Robin. I picked up Wonder Woman from last week. I'm dropping it. I like bits of it but I could save money every month if I drop a few titles and get the trades instead.

+After watching the beginning of Secret Smile (before it gets really creepy) I have reaffirmed that someone kissing your inner wrist is a major turn on. Thank you David Tennant.

OKAY. Work! Then tomorrow I have piano (which I have major practicing to do). After 3:15 I am free till 6:00 then I am done for the week at 6:50. Excellent. Friday I will spend reading and catching up on mass amount of work.

To Read Pile before need to return books to school library on May 2:
Northanger Abbey (finish)
Batman: Death and the City HC (library has graphic novel? um awesome much?)
The Toughest Indian in the World
Persuasion (possibly, it is apart of the Northanger Abbey edition I checked out)

Anthony LaPaglia is Australian. How did I miss this? If anything I pegged him for a Suprise!Canadian. (Oh you know what I mean!)

I seriously hate my American Building class. This is the third worst class I have taken. I just want to be done with it.

I really want to go to sleep.

AHHHHH! MAKE IT STOP. I need sleep and my wrist hurts. Stupid modern building material paper.

CFC is showing The Adventures of Robin Hood tonight. Guess where I am going to be. I dare you.

Paper is complete and turned in. Breakfast/Lunch/Partial-Dinner eaten. Ring pop consumed.

I'm doing the 50 Book Challenge this year and hopefully going to keep track of what I read. Which is always my problem. I'm counting graphic novels/trades.

24 / 50 (48.0%)

And in somewhat of an order from Oldest to Recent reads (I'm not sure on some of them):
1. A Great and Terrible Beauty
2. Rebel Angels
3. A Sweet Far Thing
4. Secrets of a Summer Night
5. 52 Vol1
6. 52 Vol2
7. 52 Vol3

20. Song for Summer
21. The Rest Falls Away
22. Alanna, the First Adventure (audiobook)
23. His for the Taking
24. Marrying for King's Millions

I think that is it. Oh, wait, am I count audio books? Might as well. Does anyone remember me reading anything else? I cannot think of anything else. The way I am going I might up my challenge to 75 or 100 books. Oh damn, I read two category romances. What were they called? The rate I'm going, I should probably up my challenge count especially if I am going to count trades and tiny category romances.
