I have been totally striking out with my reads lately! I thought about reviewing Julie Kagawa's The Iron King and Simone Elkeles' Perfect Chemistry but since they mostly would've come down to grousing about how they were totally not awesome and how much it sucks when you get all hyped for a book only to be disappointed I did not bother. However! I just signed up for the 24 hour read-a-thon and I am going to do my best to read ONLY awesome things. =D First up is Mary Hoffman's City of Masks. I'm loving the cover redesign, it's completely gorgeous.

I watched the first episode of GOLD. The thing Sunao ni Narenakute made me forget was that when jdramas are good they are not just good they are AWESOME. It is taking alot of will power for me to not just go ahead and watch the next three episodes raw.

Okay no more TV, bed time now. Must work hard tomorrow!

(Also I exercised for nearly an hour today! Go me! \o/ I am going to try and KEEP THIS UP)

Today I did something I'd never done before! I bought a DVD. =D

Okay yeah, I know this is probably not a big deal for the rest of you folks who are like normal and actually buy movies once in awhile. But I've never done that! Ever! I get stuff from the library or rent it, it's how we roll in my family. The last movie we bought (and by we I mean my parents, hence keeping today's status as The Day Zeineb Bought Her First Ever DVD) was The Lion King Special Edition. And before that there was a multiple year gap in which the last one we bought was either Tarzan or Mulan (whichever came out later, I can't remember which). So this is actually a pretty big deal for me!

I didn't even have plans to do this today! I just noticed on my way out of work that there was an HMV in Dufferin Mall and I went to browse because it's fun and eventually I was like HMMM I want to BUY something. And first it was going to be Merlin because it is my great fannish love but it cost $55 (!!!!!! There better be some EPIC extras on that thing) so then I picked up Friday Night Lights and I spent fifteen minutes in the aisle dithering about whether I was going to do this because like I said, this was a big deal for me! And then I did speed Eeny Meenie Miney Moe to decide and now I am the proud possesser of Friday Night Lights Season One.

I keep looking at it on my bookshelf, I can't believe I for real did this. =D So there's my Very Cool Thing for today. How was your day, f-listers?

3:53 AM. 18 pages double spaced examining critical skills in my Fantasy and Topographies of the Imagination Course. I believe there are some customary words for a situation like this. What are they again?

Oh yeah.

THANK YOU GOD I OWE YOU SO BIG IT'S UNBELIEVABLE. THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME A SUPER AWESOME BOSS WITH MAD ANALYTICAL SKILLS AND THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT SO MY EARLIEST CLASS TOMORROW IS AT 12:30. I LOVE YOU FOREVER AND FOREVER AMEN.

Post Justification: Okay I haven't done any homework today. BUT. I am leaving to work on my group project in half an hour so I will! AND THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW OF THE GREATNESS OF FIREFOX.

The Brampton library has 14 copies of Whip It!

I LOVE YOU BRAMPTON LIBRARY, YOU NEVER LET ME DOWN.

Although it's going to take awhile for me to get it since it seems there are 134 holds?! :/ Apparently alot of people are capable of recognizing awesome? Good for the world, bad for me.

ALSO. Also Saving Face and Avatar the Last Airbender: Book 1 and 30 Rock: Season 2 are all waiting for me RIGHT THIS MINUTE. Are the next two weeks going to be the best completely immersed in television weeks ever? YOU BET THEY WILL BE.

The next two volumes of One Thousand and One Nights are there too so I guess I will have something to be angry at if I am too overwhelmed by awesome to function? I mean I guess there has to be things to hate in the universe to balance the things to love otherwise things might explode. Or something. I don't know.

(No seriously I hate that series so much. Don't ask me why I keep reading it, apparently I need to have regular doses of rage to keep me grounded)

Also there is Tempted, the 6th book of the Terrible Vampire Series of Absolute Terribleness. =DDD I am looking forward to that one a lot.
