Been watching all the Ghost Hunter episodes and Ghost Hunters International. Fascinating for the most part.
I've also been reading a lot. Since I don't really have anything else to do, or anyone to talk to, I've been doing space fillers. I'll post the books at a later date.
The season premiere of Criminal Minds was awesome and full of "eep" moments. And the new CSI was most excellent.
And the start of the new Amazing Race was tonight. Excellent.
I am so friggin' lonely.

Whole Lotta Nothin'
Well, almost. I've picked up about 9 hours a month (I think.) We'll see if that pans out. So, I'll keep looking. I'm going to try to get over to Home Depot some time this week and see if I can pick up an application. If I can't get a paper app., I'll get online and fill out one there.
In other news, the cat has been out on his lead and has been (pretty much) behaving. I'd like him to be more comfortable but he hasn't reached that level yet. Oh, and I've been watching a ton of Ghost Hunters. It's been fun, even if I have to have the lights on.
Anyway, reading Lev Grossman's "The Magicians" and so far so good. AND IN EXCITING NEWS - my first Subterranean Press book that my man bought for me showed up. w00t!

Books 30+
30. Lord of the Silent - Amelia Peabody series
31. The Golden One - Amelia Peabody series
32. He Shall Thunder In the Sky - Amelia Peabody series
33. Children Of The Storm - Amelia Peabody series. And I've got three more to get and I'm current. I like this series a lot. Good, strong characters both male and female. Good history, and not using the time period as a reason to be bigoted.
34. Digital Barbarism by Mark Helprin. I tried to read it. Multiple times. He's got important things to say and I caught several of his points but I'd have to say it was a pretty dry read.
35. Un Lun Dun by China Mieville. This I enjoyed quite a bit and it's going on my "recommend to others" list. To me, this had the same sort of flavor as some of Neil Gaiman's works but still something all it's own. I wish I had a rebrella.
36. The Shamer's Daughter by Lene Kaaberbol. I think this lost a little something in the translation. The story is solid, sound and rather boring. It isn't a long book but it took much longer than I expected to get through it.
So far, so good. The list is by no means everything I've read this year but is the ones I've remembered to write down (and not lose.)

Job Search
Still job searching. I've put in five applications in 3 weeks - no one hiring at the moment. If I don't hear from someone by the end of the week, I'll put in three more. I'm trying to space them out a bit.
I love my current job, actually. Books are my life. I love dealing with books and helping with questions and all that good stuff.
I hate my coworkers. With a passion. With the hot fiery passion of ten thousand suns. If that were the only thing required to utterly annihilate various people.
*poof*
Oh, yes.
