I have two hours

Day the Seventh:
I spent a successful day watching way to much TV, but some things are necessary. I just finished season seven of Buffy. Consequentially my brain is zapped. I have no independent thought.

And the Tangled soundtrack is STILL stuck in my head!

Ta-ta.

There is time...

You just have to find it.
Day the Sixth:
I know, I know, I kinda skipped yesterday. Oh well.
So I thought I would do another list today. But it need a little back story.  I had a collection of Disney VHS as a child. I watched them so much they disintegrated. Yup, so, now I don't have any of those lovely movies which is sad. So this is the list of Disney movies in the order of which ones I have to buy first.

  1. Robin Hood. Golly, I loved this movie. Especially Prince John. He sucked his Thumb. That was love.
  2. Beauty and the Beast. The first time I tried to watch this I was 3 and the music they play coming into the Beasts castle scared me so much we had to turn it off. But Chip, anyone? Cute! I now know the entire soundtrack.
  3. Tangled. It is a new obsession. What can I say.
  4. Cinderella. After watching that movie when I talk to my little brother, whose name is August, I call him Gus-gus.
  5. Little Mermaid. I was going to grow up to be the Little Mermaid, because she sand all the time. I was profound.
  6. Finding Nemo. Just keep singing. Just keep singing.
  7. Snow White. Only for the dwarfs.
  8. 101 Dalmatians. Puppies.
  9. Bambi. "He can call me flower, I don't mind." Sigh
  10. Sleeping Beauty. Because I wanted 10. And I have never seen it from beginning to end.
Well I think that's a good start.

Books

Day the Fifth:
I have no time to do an interesting blog post today because I have to read as much of my book as I can before I 
have to go to work. Yup, those are my priorities.

Lists

Day the Fourth:
So I'm thinking April goes on all month long. I need a plan. But I don't plan my blog. I didn't even plan on having a blog. See how well my not planning is going? But still, I need a plan. So I thought I could do random lists of stuff. You know, stuff.

 How about I start with my pet peeves. I really like talking about them.
  1. Wet Socks. Not wet all over. Just, when you step on a drop of water on the floor, and the sock gets a wet spot on the ball of your foot. Then it sticks and just generally bugs me. Pet peeve.
  2. Having a song I hate stuck in my head. I have come to the conclusion that I get an internal soundtrack, regardless of wether I want it or not, just, does it have to be songs I hate?
  3. American spell check. I want to spell my words the British way. Would it be too much to ask, to have a British spell check? Yes? Well, bummer.
  4. When library's only have three or so book out of five book series. Or, they don't have the book at all. I don't want to buy it if I don't know I like it , but I can't know that I like it, if I can't read it.
  5. Canadian publishers who don't publish new books from Australia or England. Catch up already!
  6. When they publish a series and change the size and cover design part way through. It makes for uneven shelves. GRRRRRRRRRRR!

Hmm. Books. I love books, but any time there is a close relationship there is more chance for peeves, apperantly.

Things Keep Happening

Day the Third:
There is lots planned for April. All of witch takes up a smidgen of brain space, space I don't have to share with stuff. And virtually none of it is really important in the big picture.

Easter is number one. This is the important one.

Number two is the premiere of season six of Doctor Who! This is big. I'm about to pop out of my skin.

Number three is going to involve planning. I can't be the only person I know who wants to watch Prince William and Kate get married. So I want to have a sleepover party, because the wedding will be at 3 am our time. All these things are happening in the space of 7 days. Such fun.

Then to Continue

Day the Second:
All of my Saturdays are spent in Victoria cramming in info that I most desperately need but do not particularly want. Modern Music. Some interesting, mostly ugly. I can say that because it is my opinion.

My class falls over lunch, therefor I exit with huger cravings. Today's was scones. Not just any scones, I wanted spinach and feta cheese scones. Fortunately for me, we had to go grocery shopping after the class was over, so I got beautiful ingredients. My mother likes to feed ingredients to my cravings because she gets yummy stuff out of the bargain. So I made scones for dinner.

That was the entirety of my day. All of it. Well, I saw some friends. But nothing else happened.

And so to begin

Day the First;
I needed an excuse to stand up and walk away form my history homework. I hate exams. Blargh. On the bright side, I watched Tangled on Wednesday night. I loved it. Thank you Disney, for all those unreal expectations of life. They are so much fun. I adore singing Disney songs at the top of my voice. There is considerable volume involved. Only the people singing with me enjoy this exercise. Understandably.

(Wanna know a secret? My favorite part of Disneyland was sitting in a room waiting for my cousins to finish drawing and watching snatches of the films with their music go by on screens. I think we sat in there for 20 minutes. I knew all the songs. Sigh)

Right, well, I think that was my break. See you tomorrow.
