Naviguez sans boisson.
Having being made to rise at the unholy hour of 9:00 this morning, I spent an hour and a half wandering the aisles of the nearest-by Chapters, hoping to find something worth reading.

It was only in the last ten minutes that I found Of Human Bondage, in a cheap edition costing five dollars. Of course, I, being one who can never stick to the same thing for long, decided I would buy The Good Earth, instead.

My innitial reaction was, "Pretty cover and much acclaim!" My second reaction was, "Die, Oprah's Bookclub sticker!!!! >:^O" My current opinion of the book is, "Does anything good ever happen to these people and stay a while?"

Not to say I'm at all disapointed in anything to do with the novel, of course. It's just that you really start to feel sorry for Wang Lung, O-lan, and their Little Fool after a while.

Okay, after a very short while.

The moral of the story? Go read The Good Earth, by Pearl S. Buck. Now.

Incidentally, I enabled emoticons again, as far as MSN goes, because I was hoping to show Azure-jiji my Neji and Kakashi emoticons, but he can't see them anyway, so meh.

And I'm too lazy to uncheck that box again, so I guess the emoticons are gonna stick around for awhile, until they really start to piss me off, again. I think I originally disabled them because my cousin kept using them to annoy me, this one time. The bastard. >:^/

I haven't watched Stand Alone Complex or Volume Two of Comic Party, for the simple reason that a couple of my friends and I are now committed to having an anime marathon, sooner rather than later.

I probably wont be buying any more DVDs any time soon, however, since I have to save up to buy Christmas presents for...*counts*...twelve people.
Not as many as my mother is always obligated to shop for, but hey.

So, yeah: it's Christmas time again. W00t.

Remember kids, this holiday season, don't cruise with booze. (Believe me, the sticker knows.)
