puinaA lesson against procrastination: if I had purchased the much needed dog food yesterday I wouldn't have had to go out in the rain today. Actually, calling it a lesson is a stretch because I'm not gonna learn from this, I'll probably do it again and again.
Not that I could ever get tired of the Guerrero picture I was using as a header BUT I realized my journal was looking way too fangirly and I do not need the extra crazy points. So, as of today I am sporting a completely neutral journal theme (a bit girly for my taste but I am a girl after all, I believe). ALl the pic posts will take care of the lack of JEH, you know they will. ;-) Also, since I had been a deadbeat LJer ever since I joined, I decided to go ahead and pimp out my profile. If anyone wants to friend me now they'll know what they're getting into.
Still reading Shutter Island. FUCKING. AWESOME. BOOK. I mean, the scene with George Noyce (Jackie's character in the movie) is heartbreaking and depressed way more than any other book ever did before- but from the first page it just draws you in and you can't put it down. It has a slightly creepy vibe (story wise) but it also cracked a few laughs from me. Here are a few of my favorite bits. In my defense, I've been reading it at 1.30 - 2.00 in the morning, so they may not be as amusing as they seemed to me.
Possibly spoilery? Eh, worth the warning just in case.
"(...) So I went up there."
"Shot him five times," Chuck said and looked down the bow at the foam.
"Would have shot him five more," Teddy said. "Five's what it took."
"I'm not sure I've ever seen a U.S. marshal's badge before," he said.
"And now you've seen two," Chuck said. "A big day."
"Since the schoolyard," Naehringer said, "I would bet neither of you has ever walked away from physical conflict. That's not to suggest you enjoyed it, only that retreat wasn't something you considered an option. Yes?"
Teddy looked over at Chuck. Chuck gave him a small smile, slightly abashed.
Chuck said, "Wasn't raised to run, Doc."
"Ah, yes- raised. And who did raise you?"
"Bears," Teddy said.
(This scene with Cawley, Naehringer, Teddy and Chuck is freaking genius. I was making this face 8D the whole time I was reading it.)
An entire tree swept past the door, upside down, its roots sprouting upward like horns.
"You see that?"
"Yeah. It's gonna wake up in the middle of the ocean, say, 'Wait a second. This isn't right.'
" 'I'm supposed to be over there.'
" 'Took me years to get that hill looking the way I wanted it.' "
Anyway, should get to podcast editing. I've been in a foul mood for the past few days, and I think it's because of my sore throat. Either get worse already or go away. This in between thing is draining me. :-/
