or, at least IN a lane for a change..
i’ve finally stopped procrastinating around on an austudy payment and nabbed myself a job at the local dvd store.. it’s so close to my house i can walk home to check my email in my 30min lunch / dinner break.. so pretty awesome..
it’s a bit boring tho compared to hanging out in the print shop.. and it’s only my first week and i’m already frustrated over things that should be changed in the store to make it better – but i have to keep reminding myself that i’m not a store manager anymore, so none of it is my problem.. i just have to serve the customers, tidy things up and enjoy the money..
*serenity now*
it’s also frustrating to have a 22yr old and a 19yr old ‘training’ me.. like, they’re nice guys and it’s actually quite cute to hear them instructing me, but i was working in a dvd store when they were still video stores, wall to wall with VHS cassettes, and these lads were in highschool so newsflash boys – i KNOW how to answer a business phone and i KNOW how to clean a disc – hahaha ;p
*rolls eyes*
i guess it’s more amusing than frustrating, i just sorta nod my head and go ‘oh okay, yep..’ ;p
*chortle* ^-^
i got the copies of james lee stanley’s first three albums i was waiting on – omg they’re so good !
*dies*
i think i love his first album more than anything, his voice has this strange cuteness about it that he doesn’t have in any of the others.. i dunno if it’s excitement or naivety or what, but it’s cute as hell.. when he laughs during i knead you i grin from ear to ear – too. darn. adorable.
*swoon*
also BIG NEWS !!! mark billingham’s in the dark was released this month.. i charged into borders on the 3rd to get it but haven’t finished it yet.. usually it takes me a day or so to get thru one of his books unless i’m really trying to make it last, but i dunno, it’s GREAT but i keep expecting thorne to walk in and then i remember that he’s not IN this book so i put it down and go read a few chapters from the books that he IS in instead.. and i usually make sure i’m eating a curry when i do so, to really feel like i’m in the story.. i’m a thorne addict, and i don’t apologize for it !!
FACT !!
the interesting thing about in the dark is that there’s basically no likable characters in it.. i dunno if that was mark’s intention, but it feels so strange because even with all their flaws the characters from the thorne series are all pretty easy to love..
*ponder*
regardless, it’s still a good book, i just have to get used to my hero not coming to save the day..
*sigh* -_-
