**Has anyone been watching In Plain Sight? We're a week or so behind the states, I think, and I missed the first episode, I THINK, but I'm watching what I THINK is the second episode and it's pretty good! A little hokey and uneven, and the script is pretending to be tough in a PG-13 way (Mary calls a guy's dick a 'wee wee' when she's trying to bully info out if him), but parts of the main character (Mary) remind me a lot of Veronica from VM. It's kind of like what might have happened if season 4 of the show had been set with Veronica in the FBI, only she's a US Marshall working for witness protection.
**Work kind of sucks right now. If I could work from home it would be amazing. The atmosphere is... not plesant.
**"Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls is totally a Bella/Edward anthem. I re-read "Twilight" last week.
**I've finally started editing my Big Bang. What? I've got a week before I post. *shifts nervously*
**I'm reading "Veronika Decides to Die" right now. I bought it before I knew it was being made into a movie starring Sarah MichelleGellar Prinze. So far the book is very... it rings true in a lot of ways. It's very insightful and written beautifully. It's short but I usually read on the bus or on breaks so I'm only about half way through right now.
**I found out last night that my laptop came with two remotes. First of all, a remote? Really? and second, TWO? One was in the box when I unpacked the thing and the other one was IN my computer that I just found last night when I was poking around. I haven't really figured out all the features this thing has, LOL.
**I cancelled my membership to zip.ca last night. I watched the second Resident Evil last night but I've had it for a couple months. I've had Syriana since JANUARY and another one for awhile, too, so I figured there was no point in continuing to pay. The selection wasn't the best anyway and you had to wait forever for the movies you really wanted.
**I've been updating my Twitter more. I'm Marishna over there, too, but I have no idea how to do those daily Twitter update summary things that get crossposted to LJ automatically (I think it's automatic?). My feed is here, if you're interested. It's pretty boring so far.

Now that I'm done school for ever and ever and ever, amen! I have time to READ now. ACTUAL READING! Not just text book shit and internet research! Isn't that exciting? I got to read last summer, too, and damn did I miss it.
SO! I need book recs. I'm not really into sci-fi stuff with made-up worlds and characters with fifteen syllable names. Last summer I got into Kelly Armstrong's stuff (I think that's her name) and I've read almost everything by her. I wouldn't mind recs like hers. I like the supernatural-type stories, obviously, but I'm not going to go out and pay 6$ for a harlequin or something like it, so that's out.
I've dabbled in Laurell K. Hamilton in the past but have long-since stepped off that crazy train, so she's out, and Anne Rice is, as well. I like to read a novel without the specter of a crazy-ass whackadoodle hanging over the story, thanks. I'm not against reading cheesy books, either, as "Twilight" holds a special place in the special hell of my heart.
I'm open to just about anything, though, if you thought it was a good read. Tell me why you liked it and why I should read it!
Also, there have been about 15 billion birthdays of people on my flist this week. Every time I turn around someone else is celebrating and I'm like- But wasn't it just... didn't she... I thought it was someone else's birthday! So to everyone I've missed in the past forever- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I think I'm gonna crank out some icons. Hopefully. :D

I watched the Doctor Who Christmas special and this is what I think, sort of. Series 4 spoilers, too. ( I liked it.. )

I've started my
spn_holidays final gift but I'm having a hard time focusing here at home. I'm used to writing on the computer--MY computer--and it's hard here at home. I'm writing, little by little, in my notebook and hoping it all comes together quickly. Oy.-----
MORE snow coming in tomorrow. Just as long as I can make it across the country on Friday at once, in one piece, I'm cool with whatever. :|

I am reading Stephen King's "Cell" right now. HI, CREEPY. I loves me some zombies but they scare the ever loving shit out of me and I keep reading it before I go to sleep. *facepalm*

Hi, Flist! How you doin'?
