I've been having thinky thoughts this morning.

As some of you may know, I have this little Les Miserables obsession I've been cultivating for the past few months. And as part of any healthily growing Les Mis obsession, one begins to wonder about the book which started it all -- Les Miserables, affectionately called "The Brick", by Victor Hugo. These days, it's easy to pick it up free from B&N for the Nook, or Amazon for the Kindle, or simply off of Project Gutenberg. The point is, for someone only starting to dabble in the idea of reading that monstrosity, I wanted to dip my toes in first.

So, I did. )

So, lots of RL stuff going on... the upshot of which is that I'm going to see the fireworks at Longwood Gardens on Sunday night (*squee!*) and my boss and I finally had a "Come to Jesus meeting" (as Bill Engvall would say). We got together, had dinner (paid for by our field director), and just hashed out all of the stupid sh*t between us. Turns out that she essentially thought that I was calling this a Workman's Comp injury when it wasn't and was harboring all kinds of resentment at me for not being there for 2 1/2 months. We discussed it all like rational people and are finally back on an even keel and I think we're on better terms with each other than we've been in almost a year. ^_^ I really hope so, 'cuz I miss the time when I liked her unequivocally.

*cracks knuckles* So, in celebration, I allowed [livejournal.com profile] nightsea to drag me into a project that I shouldn't have. She discovered this really neat site called Library Thing. It allows you to catalog all of your books. And since I always wanted to go through my collection and create a spreadsheet to help me keep track of them all, this seemed like a great opportunity! ^_^ So, here's the beginning of mine. The really scary thing? I have 112 books in this list... and I haven't even scratched the surface of my collection yet. Not to mention that I don't have access to the 200-300 books I have in NY... *sweatrain* Suddenly this project seems daunting... *shakes fist at Melissa*

Addendum (2:49 PM): 215 books and still barely scratching the surface... -.-;;;

I'm going to take a break from the angst and melodrama that have composed my life for the last week. I'm sick of it. So I bring you this moment of hilarity and irony courtesy of the fact that I've now been awake for almost 24 hours. *makes faces*

Ironic, that I should be stuck sharing an ICU shift with a person who tried to get me brought up on charges of unethical behaviour just a few days ago. *shakes head*

Also ironic that, while Hoshina has never been my favorite character in Laura Joh Rowland's books (far from it, in fact), he should deliver one of the single best lines she's ever written. *chuckles*

After his arrest during an investigation that he was conducting and while subsequently awaiting execution, Police Commissioner Hoshina receives a visit from Detective Sano, his rival, the hero of the series, and incidentally the only man who can now save his life. While questioning Hoshina, Sano becomes visibly discouraged. Hoshina then comments...

"If you wish I had all the answers, just think how much I wish I did."

*giggles* Never thought I'd say this, but... Go, Hoshina! XD
