I've been spending all my waking hours watching Bones and Ugly Betty since my holidays began. Alright, I started off with Ugly Betty and then discovered Bones, in whose favour I cold-heartedly ditched Betty. It's fantastic- and the second season starts today on TV, but I'm well ahead already. Hurrah for downloading.
My internship starts soon, and I'm very nervous. but excited too. I like what I'll be doing and I know I'm not terrible at it, but I really, really hope that all the smart, grown-up people I'll be working with won't think I'm an idiot. *chews on nails*
So, for all the HP fanfolk- I know a lot of you like Marauder-era stories, and
here's a prequel-ish sort of thing that JK Rowling wrote herself. EXTREMELY FUN. I kind of really, really wish that she was writing it for realsies. (Just click on "Read our author's stories" on the bottom-right and then pick JK Rowling...there's also stuff from Nick Hornby, Neil Gaiman and Margaret Atwood amongst others)
Bones is slowly consuming my life. For example- It's about 3:10 p.m. now, and I've yet to bathe. I could use the excuse that I had a shower last night before going to bed so it isn't that terrible, really, but...yeah. Still. This show is awesome- I love the strange, geeky, unsociable characters and the sexual tension between the leads is AWESOME. I'm such a sucker for anything with palpable sexual tension. LAMESAUCE.
God, I love JK Rowling.
Look at this speech she gave at Harvard. I'm considering downloading the mp3 to put on my iPod because I like how she talks about how you don't always have to be fantastic after you graduate. I think I'm very much heading towards not being fantastic which scares me, of course, because I think almost everyone I know is starting off with these wonderful post-grad degrees or jobs or just seem to have some sort of direction to their lives, whereas I...don't. "And so rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life." YES. I have to write this and put this up on my wall or something. I have to learn to remember that if I fail at something or don't do it very well, it isn't the end of it all and that I shouldn't give up, but just use this an opportunity to start over again and do better. Oh, alright, I'm going to stop sounding like a motivational speech. But, honestly, wouldn't you be scared if you felt you were going no where and didn't have any idea as to what you wanted from your life?
And, finally,
this game made me go, "Oooooh." My brother says this is because I enjoy games that are meant for children between the age of one and five, but...SHUT UP TETRIS CAN BE AWESOME OKAY. And this game is even easier...but with music! And colours! I am very easily amused.
