A Bit of This and That.

So some Monday random.

*Sherlock, I'd like to correct my friend who in comments is the 'High Functioning Sociopath' We have TWO episodes to go in Sherlock. 2.

*I would be posting my vacation pics but alas I've lost the effing camera to computer cord and I'm really F***ing annoyed!!!

* 'High Functioning Sociopath' (who would otherwise have an awesome name if she/I hadn't insisted on that name. I might abbreviate to HFS.) Would like me to comment on the show Merlin. A newer telling of the Legend of King Arthur. I do enjoy the show more than I had thought I would. It's actually really nice. (Fan fics, Can't you just see them? *cough cough* Inside joke for HFS.) ;) HOWEVER, nylon shirts, skimpy tops, Morgana's halter top, chain mail, armor, a NON-FRENCH Lancelot du Lac, the color red EVERYWHERE, polyester blends, are just a FEW of the problems I have with the show, (had to mention the HFS. And you need to read the friggen Legend anyway SO YOU KNOW WHO MORDRED IS JEEZ! (The Mists of Avalon work too) just find out more of the original telling okay?)

*With HFS I've got four more episodes of Jane Eyre to go.

*I'll do a longer vacation post later.

*I went to look at the boats in Valdez and wanted to report some of the cooler named ones: The Dawn Treader, Shadowfax (bonus points if you can name where those names are from HFS, your answers don't count.) Merlin, Killin' Time, Enterprise, Infinite Grace, Morning Light, The Boat, Freedom Dancer, Knot Again, Wind Musher, My Boat, Jade Dolphin, The Half Cup, and English Maiden are just a few.

Haven't much more to say right now.

A Quick Ohne While She's Away *wink wink*

Okay I'm typing this from the library and I need to inform you all that I will be unable to post for about a week- week and a half. There is a problem with the computer needing a new charging cord. So I'll be gone for a while. Thought I 'd let you know.

I Had To Show You This

This is a a picture I saw on the interweb o-tron 5000. The quote is from a real article here. It gave me a laugh so I wanted to share it:

What To Do....

Well the new year is round the bend. What am I doing for a resolution you ask? Well, your humble Overlady has decided to do something with in range. I have decided to read 52 books this year. More would be even better and to read every book that I haven't read in my library. I am reading as many books as there are weeks. I am anxious to start I love to read. I consume books at a rate of 4+ a month... Well I spend more money than that on books. Here, to make you feel better about what you spend on books I usually spend $60-$100 every time I go buying books. EVERY TIME. So because I buy so many books I haven't read most of them. The resolution is so I read all my books and can buy more guilt-free. Without worry! They're always coming out with books and I want to buy them but If I don't read the books now I never will so my resolution benefits me greatly. I wanted to make you feel better about how much you spend on books... Mission accomplished!

De Ja Veux

Even though it seems like de ja veux  we all knew this day was coming. I refer to my 2nd post on this wonderful blog. I discussed the world coming to an end. Well the day is here (today) and well... I'm posting this aren't I? The world is still turning, the snows still falling, the temperature is still -30 here. The probability was very small of the world ending anyway. I have many things I had to get done today. (I still have to do them) the only advantage of the world ending is that you don't have to do any more housework. But at the same time there is so much of my life left to live; I want to visit 9 countries (check out my wattpad page and then read my stories), read books (I have over 30 I need to read), skydive, scuba dive, cook, and finish watching The Original Series of Star Trek. I hope you all realize that life is too much worth living to give up. So forget the world ending and get on with life.

****
Okay so I won't be posting for the next 5-7 days this next week because of it being Christmas week. So just letting you know that when I don't post for about a week you know why. But the goblins have set out food and drinks, they're playing the old records, feel free to ask them if you need anything.  If you want page through old issues of this blog you might find something you overlooked. Thanks for reading withing you all a merry Christmas. If you have a problem with me only saying Christmas e-mail me. No comments please, not during this season of giving and love.

Whoop Di Do (Sarcasm)

So as I was rearranging the furniture in my bedroom. For a change of pace. I was moving the two special bookshelves that I keep in my room. I have one on wheels and it's really sturdy. The other one is a somewhat more flimsy bookshelf. I'll refer to them as bookshelf #1 (the sturdy one) and bookshelf #2 (flimsy). So I moved #1 with great ease (it's on wheels) and then I started to move #2. Now #2 already had some issues. The shelves had already collapsed some and the backing was already coming off. I began to move #2 And the whole thing collapsed. All 56 of my Nancy Drew books on the ground (I save things and yes I still read them). All my Agatha Christie, my poetry books, fairytale books. All to the ground. So Now the furniture is moved and I have one working bookshelf and 1 tall pile and a half-of-that-size pile and all the nick-knacks that I kept on the book shelf I've had to put on shelves. Yay...NOT.

Oh and if you want to see what's in my library please check me our on Librarything.

Oh, and I recently used sodium free tomato paste that WAS NOT a sodium free food. WOW (eyeroll)

Robert Browning

I recently downloaded the musical Robert and Elizabeth. I think it's wonderful. He's fighting for position as #1 poet against Robert Frost. So today at the library I got a book of Browning poems. I haven't read them yet. But I plan to.

******
Tonight (tonight it all began tonight...) On PBS (9.1) the Vienna Symphony Orchestra is playing a 9p.m. Alaska Time. My Mother and I are going to watch it together. Yay!

******
Finally, I'm reading The Lionesses Song Quartet by Tamora Pierce. It's fantasy and it's so far really good. Even though I'm only on the first book. I would recommend it.

A Bit of This a Pinch of That

I've been reading a lot of books lately. Such as Growing Up Again, Life, Loves, and oh yeah Diabetes by Mary Tyler Moore, The Once and Future King, and, 1984. IMHO all are good books.

******
I've been gone for a while, miss me? I've been pretty busy (errr reading, sewing , knitting, going to the library, watching TV.....) But I'm here and that's all that matters.

How's fall for all of you? Here in Alaska it's pretty but we don't have any deciduous trees so the colors are pretty much brown and yellow. It's also getting darker at night and you can go out in broad daylight with a sweater on and have it be chilly. It also smells like berries. It's also time to pull out winter clothes now that the temp doesn't get over 70. It did one day... it was nice.

Reading!

More on reading. I've started to read Eat, Pray, Love again. My local library is doing a benefit for the new library to be built. You're supposed to come dressed as your favorite storybook character. I'm going to come as Jane Eyre. Probably will be fun now I'm going to watch ROV. Bye.

Rain!

First, sorry, I have been away form the internet for a while. But here in Alaska it's been raining for two weeks. Perfect for reading but not for gardening. So I've been going to the local library a lot. And donating my nickels (because they're worthless) to the project to build a new library. I'm now reading Spock's World, Jane Eyre, and Romancing Miss Brontë. I've also spent a lot of time cleaning my house. It's scary.
