In a Friday state of mind

pepper: Cup of tea (Tea)
Curse you, everyone who recommended the Vorkorsigan books to me! I get no sleep, because I keep staying up late reading the damn things. I think, "I'll just read for five minutes before I go to sleep..." but before I know it, it's half-past one. Annoyingly, today I reached the final chapter (of Memory) just as my bus arrived at work. Despite reading it on the walk between my bus stop to the office (no, not crossing any major roads), I didn't finish. Now I want to just duck into a closet and finish reading it, but I really can't. I'm going to have to wait until lunchtime. Which is nearly an HOUR away. It's not faaaaaaaaaaair.

Also, I read a fic the other day which totally made me think that the writer had been reading Lois McMasters Bujold. But in a good way - and subtle enough that I may be mistaken. I don't think I'd have seen it if I hadn't just read it, myself.

Lucinda Williams CD has arrived, woohoo! It is lovely (so far, I like it a lot more than West - particularly the song Honey Bee *hearts her accent*). But Sapphire and Steel, allegedly dispatched at the same time, hasn't turned up yet. Has it disappeared en route? Where are my medium atomic weight agents? Okay, it said 3-5 days delivery, so it's not technically late yet... but still.

Um... more of this inane drivel later, when I think of it.

Re: yeah...
Oh, yes, please do come visit! Um, I'm not sure exactly when I'll be free - I'm currently applying for a job, and if I get it, I'd probably have started there by then. But I doubt they'll be open over Christmas (it's at a college), and if I'm still where I am now, they're definitely closed for the hols, so pretty much any of those days is fine with me. Oh, except for the 26th, when I'm likely to be visited by relatives. :)

(And I went all the way back to Victoria and caught the damn bus to Oxford, and about 45mins into the journey it passed through Uxbridge - I hadn't noticed on the way in. Dammit.)

d'oh!
That figures.

And cool. Wanna shoot for the 29th, then? That's right in the middle of the two holidays so hopefully it wouldn't be inconveniencing you, and that way I can just leave that one day off of my volunteer application. And if it doesn't work out for some reason, I'm sure I can go ride the tube all day or something, instead. *g*

Re: d'oh!
29th would be great. I'll put it in my calendar. Yay!
