@cherry - i saw that, but i wasn't ready to waste precious csi and ncis time reading twilulz.
but now i am, but i may fall unconscious before i finish. D:
but i do find much love in comments about things i actually pay attention to.
like knitting.
"EMMETT'S HAD NO NECK HOLE AND EMMETT TRIED TO PUT IT ON ANYWAY AND STRUGGLED AROUND A LOT UNTIL HE JUST RIPPED HIS HEAD THROUGH"
and stickers. (not scrapbooking, though.)
"EMMETT YOU HAVE TO GO BUY ME NEW STICKERS"
and costuming.
"COULD THEY NOT AFFORD MORE FABRIC FOR THE COSTUMES?"

@shadow - ooooh august rush. i've been wanting to see that since BEFORE IT CAME OUT.
seeing a movie in the theatre is a rare thing for me.
since most of my theatre-going friends are back in new jersey.
and any movies i want to see are either already seen by my mom with my stepdad, or are movies mom (my fall-back friend. XD) would not enjoy.
but going to rent movies is even rarer, for some reason.
there's even a blockbuster right down the street, we just never go.

Ah, I just realized I hadn't figured out how many pages I need to read a month to reach my page goal of 15,000. 1250 a month.
I'm off to a good start.

Woo, started a new book. It's by Ben Goldacre and it's based on his Bad Science columns and blog. I've only read the first couple of chapters so far and I've already learned people pay a fortune for 'Aqua Detox' when the supposed toxins leaving your body are actually rust from the electrodes. :/

Cherry: You did a great job cutting the head out, that would have taken me ages. Ah, I haven't used ImageReady in ages. I apologise for the random head movement, I tried to match it with the stormtrooper instead of it just being still but it looks weird. >.<

Ta-da!

@massage - you are doing a hell of a lot better than me. i've done two month's worth in about four months. D:

@kat - that does look a little wonky. if i had imageready, i would try it, buuutttt.

ps.
i went to b&n today~
and only got two books.
what the dickens and my booky wook. <333
what the dickens i am unsure about, because it's gregory maguire, but i'll read a couple chapters and see how it goes.
and well. my booky wook. russell brand. <33333

... those BASTARDS.
i checked my library for kim harrison books (since dani was reading them when she visited and it had faeries.)
and the first book has two entries, both of which are not my home library, but both of which are MARKED MISSING.
so i should have gotten it at b&n when i went earlier today. ;_;
damn book-kidnapping bastards.
and, of course, my password for my library account is not working, possibly because someone failed and couldn't read my handwriting. ::sniffle::

@leenie: Pixies. Some mention to "Fairies". NOT Faeries they way you're thinking. Literally little demi-fey that drink nectar. Not even demi-fey really... but yeah the next four that I want to read from that series are missing as well. T_T

Massage- Oh, I can't wait for spring break to get some reading done! Two more weeks until it's here... *whines* Except my mother said I can only bring four books on our vacation! D: I've chosen Sacred Games, which is 900 pages with a font size that's about one and a half, Inkspell, which is 635 pages, Inkdeath, and I'm not sure how long it is, but I imagine it's about the same as Inkspell, and the three-in-one volume of Lord of the Rings, which is 1,017 pages. XD So I guess somewhere around 3,100 pages.

My mom has called me a stinker and says I can't possibly manage that in a week. I say yes I can, and if I do, she's got to buy me enough books to keep me occupied the rest of the trip. XD

All my friends are currently watching the extra footage on the Twilight DVD, sucked into their Edward happy place. I've (wisely) chosen to stay up here and keep away.

So, I just finished reading Neuromancer. I have to say that I'm impressed! I can't believe that it took me this long to actually pick it up and read it.

@Iltu: Haha. That's awesome. Good luck in finishing them. ^^

@Knerd: I don't think I'll ever watch that movie. Movies almost never do the books justice. -kindalikedthetwilightbooks-

So, it was good? hehe. I should write it down. I have a huge list of books to find and read already. I'll be an old woman by the time I finish them all. ^^;

Knerd- Oh, lord. XD My little sister just got the Twilight DVD. "Will you watch it with me? Will you watch it with me?" Good greif!

That title sounds absolutely fascinating. What is it about? Because the neuro makes me think of neurology, and the mancer at the end there has got me thinking about necromancers. Which I think would be two really awesome things to combine in a book.

I doubt it's actually about that, but even so. XD

Massage- I'll be very happy if I can, free books are great motivation!

Wikipedia will give you a better description than I ever could, but I'll try anyway.

Our lovely main character, Case, is a washed up druggie when we first meet him. He used to be an awesome cyber-space cowboy, surfing the future's version of the Internet and using his abilities to steal lot of cash. It was a glamorous lifestyle until a client caught him pocketing dough and they messed up his nervous system, making it impossible for him to pug in anymore. Now he's resorting to odd jobs and drug trafficking. He meets up with a very cool street samurai girl who has been hired to capture him for a client. The two of them are hired by a guy named Armitage in order to help him pull off a big scheme. What does he want? It revolves around a very strong Artificial Intelligence. As the story goes on, maybe Armitage isn't as in control of the situation as you thought...

It's good. Complicated, and really good.
