You made a mess on the floor now!

I have things to say. First off, my internet connection is still not working in my room. Blah! I'm so annoyed by this that I can't adequately express myself. I want my fully customized browser. I want my music playing as I journal. I want to be a little less whiny about this and I KNOW that's not going to happen.

Secondly, Book #68 - Forever Knight: A Stirring of Dust by Susan Sizemore - I actually really liked this book. Sometimes, novelizations of TV shows/movies/etc come across as extremely weak and not at all fleshed out. This one was captivating. And yes. It's based on the awesome vampire cop show from the late 80's(?), early 90's(?) of the same name. Forever Knight. Look it up!

Book #69 (heh!) - Angels Fall by Nora Roberts - I was quite pleased with this book. It has the requisite romance/mystery/deadly peril that all Nora Roberts book seem to have but I was sure I knew who the killer was about halfway through and I was totally WRONG! That is so cool. Also, at a hefty 444 pages it was a remarkably fast read. I started it about 6 last night and finished before midnight.

For the record, I didn't read at all today. I've run out of new books and have to decide what's worthy of a re-read. Also, I need to make sure I haven't read any of my re-reads already this year. Seriously? That sucked. I'm not ashamed to admit it. [livejournal.com profile] malkovich03 wonders how I can forget what I've already read. All I can do it shrug. Because I just don't know.

So, today I hauled Cole out to do some last minute clothes shopping so that he'd have some new pants for school. Umm, yeah. That didn't work out so well. I mean, I bought the pants, but my kid's grown so much lately that none of them fit. So, I'll take him to school tomorrow and head back out to Target to return those FOUR pairs for a larger size. *sniff* My baby's growing up. I'm not sure how I feel about this.

While we're on the topic of school, Cole has the same teacher in the same classroom that he had last year. It's a 2nd/3rd combo and his teacher handpicked him for the class. I've always wondered if having the same teacher is a good thing or a bad thing. On one hand, he was handpicked for the class and the teacher knows how he works and how to handle him. On the other hand, if for some reason ... yeah, I don't know what I'm saying. I've just always been curious is the same teacher is good or bad. I guess I'll find out.

And finally, my award thing in Half Moon Bay was exactly like this...
EXACTLY like this )

Until it was like this...
Yep, it was also like this )

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] iron_knife for bringing those to light.

Now I'm done. Remember, Friday Night Lights season 1 comes out tomorrow. I've bought my 5 copies. Have you? And, yes. I really did buy 5 copies. I'm committed to converting the unbelievers. Mwahahahahahaha! And then I will take over the world! Again. Hee!

'Night!
