Aug. 27th, 2008 07:56 amBack from a lovely Queensway Esso shift. It never really got insanely busy today. I figure this is because it is the last week of summer and so people are off doing better things than going to work. Wish I could be the same...and yes, I know I just got back, but one week so isn't long enough!
My latest Chapters order arrived just in time, because I have finished re-reading the Shopaholic books (and next week, when my Chapters coupon is good, I'll go buy the 5th because I'm not waiting another bloody year to get it in mass market PB, when the trade is only $15 anyway...also need to get Secret Lives of Bees and Tigana). So now I've read up to 8 in Tsubasa (so woefully behind, but I really didn't get into it until the last few volumes, when more emphasis finally got placed on the overarching plot and less whee, this world is fun~ stuff) and vol 14 of Nodame (which I think means I'm actually caught up with the English release, OMG!). I also started reading Sex with the Queen, which is a companion to Sex with Kings which I read awhile back, recced to me by Lily. So much fun and it's really interesting to look at the contrast between a king's infidelity and a Queen's (though mostly only the Queen consorts, since the ruling Queens could pretty much do what they wanted because the royal bloodline would still be intact regardless).
Also it is very nice of Charles, Camilla, and Diana to have given us a modern version of it to compare to. Very thoughtful =P
I also have vol 9 of Fables, but I didn't bring it with me because it's a bit on the larger size and all.
Anyway, not too much planned for today. Please, Himitsu people (and Margaret, since she knows enough about it to make fun of me), don't laugh at me too much but I've made myself a schedule for my entire week, set up in hour-long blocks which tell me what I have to do. I keep trying all these things to get my life to really work how I want it to be, but so far none of them have stuck. So I'm trying out the Routine (and yes, that's what I've titled it XD).
Thankfully however, I am less strict with myself than the crazy Nallen people are with theirs.
