bandwagon jumping
Dec. 13th, 2004 02:16 pmBook meme:
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the "coolest" book you can find. Do what's actually next to you.
"Now they had him in their talons."
From "The Key of the Kingdom: A Book of Stories and Poems for Children."
I find this sort of vaguely amusing.
Random life update: I spent the weekend sitting in my apartment being a hermit and hanging with my cats. One roommate appointment cancelled; the other was unbelievably rude. No roommate yet.
My boss called me at 10am Sunday morning (woke me up) from Norway because of website issues. Spent an hour on the phone with tech support. Fixed the issues. Went back to sleep.
Burned all my CDs to MP3s. If only I could do the same with my 200+ audio cassettes.
Continued my slow re-read of A Storm of Swords. There's this long stretch in the middle with no Jaime chapters; hard to get through. Had an idea about buildling a database-driven website to catalog all appearances of every character and location. Don't have the dedication, though. Or the money.
I've been combatting boredom by watching videos from my video collection, but the selection of movies I haven't seen recently is running really low. I watched "If Looks Could Kill," "Willow," and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," random vestiges of stuff that I collected as a 10-year-old. I still sort of like "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" (Corey Feldman as Donatello ... Elias Koteas as Casey Jones ... not bad.) "If Looks Could Kill" and "Willow" are just painful, though. I can feel my brain rotting as I watch them....
What else.... continued listening to and reading up on KMFDM. I like them; in interviews, Sascha seems smart and funny and has both integrity and talent. It's always nice to see people who succeed at making art without having to sell their souls. I love that they are good to their fans, concerned about keeping prices down, answer fans' emails, stuff like that. Refreshing. Honest. (*cough*oppositeofbuffycelebrityfandom*cough*)
Anyway. I'm bored and now I have to go back to work.
