cosmic_celeryAhh, what am I doing awake!
The bad news:
1) I burnt my arm on the iron this morning trying to get the wrinkles out of my OMG LINEN PANTS OF DOOM. Doesn't hurt anymore but I've got a red, raised line on the inside of my arm that looks like some sort of nasty self-mutilation scar.
2) My brother and his girlfriend are coming into town for his birthday tomorrow morning! Which is like...NOW. Now morning. It's not overly horrible...I get along marginally well with my brother, but it guarantees that I will be forced to attend some sort of group activity I don't really want to go to...and having two extra people sleeping in the house triggers all my waa-I-hate-people stuff.
Good News:
1) Got a bookshelf! And it's completely full already with all the books that were laying around in the other room. It really makes me want to go through alllll of the books, get rid of some, and reorganize the rest in a really cool way. I might even be able to clear out a whole bookcase from the other room(because it's pretty much filled with papers and random junk) which would be awesome because I have a bucket of books in my closet that should totally be not in my closet.
2) I found Speaker For the Dead by Orson Scott Card among the books in the other room, which is cool because I had planned on reading the Ender series and could find all of them except that one.
(Finished Ender's Game on my trip, and while the book itself was pretty cool, I knew what the ending "twist" was going to be from the very beginning. But maybe that's because one of my favorite movies as a kid was Toys)?
