So Imani showed me this wiki entry about a novel series called "The Looking Glass Wars" that's the true story of Alice (Alyss) Liddle's trip to Wonderland. Apparently is was no fairy tale and much pain was involved. I've added these novels to my list of things I have to read...but this is the best part:
The novels have a soundtrack.
Yep, a soundtrack.
Some of the music is kind of folk-ish, but so far I really like this song: Looking Glass
Listen to it, it's great. Also, some of the lyrics sound like they were pulled straight from "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane..."Go ask Alice" for instance.
*listens and gets lost for a moment*

*grumble*
Mou...I hate being up early...at least it isn't 6am. So I haven't posted in like...forever and a day, I know. I'm sorry T_T *wonders for a moment who the crap she's talking to seeing as only like four people read this*
So this week has been pretty nice. There was a snow day on Thursday so the whole University was closed. I didn't have class OR work- it was great ^^ Though of course instead of getting ahead of my homework like I did last week, I decided to sit on my butt and finish watching Tactics on YouTube. It was a good series *nodnod* I also read like 250 pages of this totally awesome book For a Few Demons More. It's sooooo good....it has vampires and witches and the like which of course made me happy. The only sad thing is that it was the fifth book in a series, so now I have to find all the other ones XD Normally I wouldn't start a series with the last book, but this one is and "Advance Reader's" edition, (meaning it hasn't gone through the final editing process), that my boss brought back from the ALA conference. I love when she brings us free stuff ^^; I manged to finish the book yesterday, so that's a new record for me- 456 pages in three days, woo!
After all that reading, I watched Nana on YouTube for a while and I am now addicted to the opening song. If someone could get me the soundtrack to that series I'd owe them like...my firstborn child. Maybe I can find it on Gendou's music...
Last night I managed to get some kind of creativeness flowing and wrote two pages for what my friends and I call The Lumpy Dragon Princess story. Yah, it doesn't have a title yet, lol. Maybe I'll type it up for Jacci tonight while I continue to put off doing my Japanese paper....
Aww fudgenugets! I have a Russian Lit. paper due on Monday T_T

<(^_^)>
Wow, I haven't updated in a while. Normally I would just copy and paste from my LJ, but I really just don't feel like it...really, I haven't updated that either XD.
So today is the last day of the first week of the semester. I have no classes today (yay Friday!) but thanks to certain office assistants *glares at Jacci* I have been forced into 8am labor. The upside, though, is that I get off work at noon, so I really only have a half day before I can crash and take a nap. That is, if I don't crash before then...my body isn't meant to be up and functional at 6am.
Aside from that...my classes are pretty neat. Japanese 204 is just the same as 203 really, cept with more focus on writing. I really like my Russian Lit. course so far...it's weird seeing my Russian prof. spend an entire class period speaking English...and this first book OMG. It's a futuristic, anti-utopian, sci-fi novel written in 1920. It's so good....and a reminder to be that there was indeed sci-fi prior to the fifties. I dunno why I keep forgetting. Anyway....I think I'm going to like my Contemporary British authors class too...just because I know and like the prof. My Lit. and Film (which is actually more like Film and Politics) doesn't seem to be nearly as fun or really interesting as the others. However, the professor seems interesting and is pretty funny, so I'll live.
Umm...oh yah, I bought the Firefly series and the core book for the RPG...now I just need a crew XD

Night Watch
I watched Night Watch for the second time today. It made a lot more sense the second time, lol. I know that as a movie based on a book, it really sucks...but I loved it anyway. Also, I've decided that Olga is my favorite character.
Man, Anton's going to be pickin' feathers out of places for days to come...
I need to read the book, like really bad. I also looked up other books by the author on Wikipedia. Apparently he has a Cyberpunk series that I didn't know about before, sometimes called the Labrynth series because of the first book.
I wanna read it too *pouts* Actually, I really just wanna read everything by this guy, but unfortunately, I can only get the Night Watch series for now. But that's cool...at least there will be something prevented me from killing myself with books.

Rofflese GALORE
Why post about the absolutely wonderful hoard that I received, when I can give you this piece of gold?
*me sitting on the couch, eating corn-beef hash, and watching tv*
*News channel* "blahblahblah, more at 11...and a parasite that turns women into sex-kittens!"
*corn-beef hash on the floor* O..O
So I googled it...and OMG IT'S TRUE! See http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/parasite-makes-sex-kittens/2006/12/26/1166895290934.html.
For those who don't feel like clicking, it basically says that there's this worm thing that causes women to be more out-going and whorish while it causes men to be stupid (literally...their IQ drops), and make poor choices/big risks. And apparently 40% of the pop. is infected.
Yah.

HOLY CORNBREAD ON A STICK!
Ok, so the other day I was being obsessive and watching game play movies of the games that I'm getting in December...while doing that I saw an add for this thing called Flyff. It means Fly For Fun. Dunno why though...So anyway, I downloaded it cuz it was free and I figured "Eh, what the hell..."
After like an hour of downloading and then another eternity of patch loading and finally getting the game to start...
OMG SO FUN! It's like Guild Wars...but SOOOOO much cuter! *squeels uncontrollably* I suggest you check it out.
Also, cell phone service at home = teh win

OMGLIKEYAY
Only TWO WEEKS AND SIX DAYS until I can afford to get my Nintendo DS Lite and two games! *dances*
Jacci and I are going with Jen on the 3rd to get them (together, cuz we're dorks), and then we're off to Olive Garden. Hopefully, Imani will join us ^^.
I dunno which two games to get though...the four possibilities are:
Final Fantasy III (I want to be one of the kewl kidZ)
Castlevania: Portrait Of Ruin
Super Princess Peach
Super Mario Brothers
Chances are, I won't get Super Mario Brothers, because Jacci may get it and if so, I'll just borrow it from her. So really I'm being torn between the first three, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, specially from those of you who play lots o' games.

Wow
Tonight I walked the entire campus in less than 30minutes and did 20 situps (though there were some breaks inbetween cuz I was watching SouthPark and only doing situps during commercial breaks)!! So excitement for me!
Also, I think a man can be sexy while wearing braces headgear.

RenFair was RenTastic!
So yah...spent all day yesterday at RenFair with Jacci, Imani, Jen, and Jen's husband Nathan. It was fun and I actually had money to buy stuff this year! WOOT! Not to mention all the belly dancing that I got to see! It was like heritage day for me XD
Here are some pictars (NO CUT FOR J00 CUZ I FEELS LIKE IT)
Right now I only have pics of what I bought because I didn't actually take my camera with me...it can't hold a battery charge hardly at all anymore:
A hair twister with a dragon on it...it's shiney *stares*
A blurry Bartleby, my Woodbaby dragon laying on the bookshelf.
A not so blurry Bartleby dancing on my desk ^^
I finally bought a Thor's hammer...go me!
So there you have it...pictars of stuff you don't have ^^
