Just got back from work. Spent time on the floor today and I'm finding it harder to approach customers than I did at Indigo, because my base knowledge about books was significantly greater. But I'm sure this will pass with time.

Also my feet hate me again.

And I need to go grocery shopping, mainly because I'm out of cat food.

Alright, I decided to also do Dots' latest meme thing, featuring Himitsu character theme songs. I have uploaded them all already, so even non-Himitsu people can enjoy some snazzy downloads!

WOW, that took over an hour to do. CRAZY.

Someone out there better appreciate this ^_^

Ooooooooo! Thomas Dekker and Emma Caulfield were just confirmed as FanExpo guests. So awesome!

I even have an appropriate icon, hurrah!

Ack! I am a bundle of nerves as I am about to head out to La Senza! I keep reminding myself I felt the same way my first training shift at IndigoSpirit so it will probably be okay. But still...scary!

I also have a phone message trying to arrange an interview from Reitmans. I'm not sure if that position was full- or part-time and I'm not sure I could manage two part-times (especially not alongside Wiley). Need more information about number of hours and wages and stuff.

Wish me luck!

(OH I NEED TO BE NERVOUS MORE OFTEN SO I CAN USE THIS MOOD ICON!)

The danger of going away for a week: I come back to find my dragons in dire need of help. Particularly the first of these two since it has 3 hours left before it dies AND it's a geode (rare dragon)!

YAAAAAAAAAY!

I came home to find a message from La Senza on my answering machine, offering me a sales position. Hurrah! It's part-time, so I can keep doing my stuff for Wiley and still keep looking for better positions but I will have money coming in! YAY!

Training is at 2 on Tuesday. Now I just need to get a list of the times I need off for Polaris (if they need me on Friday, I'll give that up, but Saturday and Sunday need to be off) and my doctor's appointment. And I need to get some black shirts because that's the store dress code.

HURRAH!

So I'm leaving tomorrow morning at about 9. Which means I have a LOT to do today @_@ Such as...

- dishes
- put laundry away
- pack
- deposit money/cheque
- see Jewels when she gets off work
- call potential doctor and see about getting an appointment
- go through fridge to make sure nothing goes bad while I'm gone
- make the 5 last posts I need for this month in Himitsu
- edit story for Shannon (much shorter one this time)
- if I still have time/energy, tidy things up a bit


I did already get my rent money to SG though. Hurrah!

Today's plan!

See Up with Rob at AMC before noon and thus get $6 tickets. Then hang out with Katie and watch Downloaded, taking notes for the Big Bang fic.

Then probably come home and collapse over lack of sleep. Why do I do this to myself? @_@

I HAVE A FAN!

In fact, I have two of them. One that stands on the floor and oscillates and should do most of the work and a little one that clips on to (hopefully) my bed and provided extra cooling at night.

Of course, some assembly is required and right now I am far too hot/tired to be bothered. But since I'm in the living room and have the ceiling fan going, it's okay. Hopefully will get energy back for later.

THIS IS BRILLIANT.



My day is a little brighter now, thanks for reccing it Mars!

*cries*

It is just too hot these days. I can't sleep in my bed because it is high and in a room without a fan. So I tried to sleep on the couch but couldn't fall asleep easily there. At one point I turned on the TV but very little is on. I tried to put on W channel but it had one of the ghost story programs which is NOT a good thing to watch in the dark while trying to sleep. Switched to YTV and Naruto because I was that desperate. Then I turned the TV off.

So I got very little sleep, blah. Now I think I may take a cool shower just to get my overall temperature down though it won't last because it's already 29 degrees here but feels like 37-39 because of humidity. That's just under 100 degrees Farenheit, for you American people.

*collapses*

Because it's my book, I will take upon myself the task of making sure book club people remember we have a book to discuss soon-ish! Our schedule got nicely messed up with the last one but hopefully we can get back on track. I'm going to be finished soon, enjoying it quite a bit so far.

I finally got laundry done today, hurrah! And I am making bread (rolls and hotdog buns). It is pretty good.

Tomorrow I have lunch with Bruce and I also really need to tackle cleaning the kitchen. And then maybe get through the other two rooms of the house.

Just over a week left and because people keep asking me about whether I need threads I shall do this again!

Note to self: doublecheck the handwritten record to the Word file before typing this all up, there were a few that had to be moved because they had more than I had written down.

CRAP.

The Toronto city workers went on strike today. This mainly means that, for the time being, there is no garbage pick-up.

Wonderful.

Had an awesome time at the Can't Stop the Serenity screening. I love that movie so much, it really is so well done. Not quite my favourite (I do think V for Vendetta has that spot fairly secured at the moment) but definitely one of them.

I also have an awesome shirt that has dinosaurs on it and says "Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal" because Rob caught the auction fever (no complaints here!)

So I have to try and concentrate on getting work done tonight and especially tomorrow. I have seven chapters of an eBook to look at it and it all needs to be done for Monday. And I only just got access to the stuff on Thursday. CRAZINESS.

Finally got the grocery shopping done though so I have food once more. And a really big bag of flour that better last me for the next year XD

Fan Expo just announced Leonard Nimoy as a guest.

OMG.

Probably just about the only actor who can complete in OMG-ness with Mary.

CNAnime also has Scott and Crispin and Brad Swaille. SO MANY AWESOME GUESTS.

It's time, once more, for the always exciting Himitsu activity check. This month has been interesting so far, with a fair number of the verge of being done...and a fair number with nothing or next too it (including a very surprising Benedette and Lian).

So, this weekend I have pretty much one goal: finish editing Shannon's story. I told her she could beat me if I didn't get it done by the end of today so uh, I better get it done!

Other than that, I really want to just relax and not worry about being productive too much. I debated having a computer-free weekend but that's not going to happen for various reasons. I may do a computer-free Sunday though. We'll see.

OMG OMG OMG OMG!

The AGO is having a King Tut exhibit in November. WITH TREASURES FROM THE TOMB OMG OMG OMG!!!! And stuff from other pharaohs too.

OMG.
