Wednesday at-work out-of-tasks update

[charloween]

After inhaling all episodes of Dresden Files over the weekend, I decided to check out the novels. The first two weren't all that impressive, but the third one wasn't that bad. (They're really quick reads.) I think I like the tv series better; for one, Dresden is cooler on tv and is less of a weedy nerd who thinks he's really really cool.

About six weeks left before I go to England, woo! England with a side trip to Cardiff, that is. On the list of Places To See is that Canadian-themed bar in London. I've been to enough fakey British "pubs" here, so it's only fair I see the other side. We'll have three shots to get same-day tickets for Hamlet. Oh, how my fingers are crossed. :D

Next on the list of tv to watch/get caught up on is the end of Moonlight, followed by s4 of House. I haven't seen much (any) of s3, but I've heard good things about the end of this season. Then it's Ashes to Ashes. Man, there's a lot of television produced. It's, like, overwhelming.

Iron Man is at the Bloor Cinema this month. Luckily, I've seen it three times in theatres and won't be tempted to another screening. However, this weekend's got a few showings of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, which I've been meaning to see. Tomorrow I might see Mister Lonely, now that it's in Toronto. It was a scary few weeks movie-wise, but now there's interesting stuff in theatres again.

Working full-time means spending a lot of time at work. What's the deal with that!?

I've fallen in love with the Guillemots. Upbeat, interesting, catchy music ftw.

Hee! Thanks - I made it this afternoon when I ran out of brain.

Oh running out of brain. Hee.

Today I had occasion to use "can't brain - I have the squee". *bounce bounce bounce*

Also: in a few days I'll be able to share a link with the icons that I had to make FOR WORK. All those skillz are actually, you know, useful!

I can't wait to see the icons! YAY!

http://www.yorku.ca/scld/orientation/student.html <-- the buttons in the middle of the page. More than just the little square image, it's the whole .tiff file with the words and everything. I was told what images to use (like: the cover of this book for that label, etc) but still - I'm particularly proud of how the globe turned out.

A Canadian theme bar on foreign soil eh? ..they had one in HK, but was dominated by expensive drinking business delicates trying to hook up for quick sex. It all went down hill when the theme music of the night was vintage Beatles albums, which didn’t suit the decor environment….that’s so not Canadian!......

Best of luck with your trip though :D Be unsafe…I meant safe.

Ewwww. I hope this one is better. Apparently it's decorated to look like a ski lodge...

Oh god...and how distinctly is that canadian again?

Because BC is awesome. And also there's snow. ...*shrugs*

WE SHOULD GO SEE IRON MAN! WOOO!

Ashes to Ashes is fucking terrible, though.

OMG YEY

Really? I was impressed with the first episode. Shame to hear it sucks. Maybe I'll give it one more ep and decide if I want to go any further.
