I do not like how this rotation is leaving me cranky and tired, with very little to show for it.

*SIGH*

But, in other news:

a) Found a used book store and got a bunch of books for cheep :D (Including 'Castle in the Air' which is freaking adorable and a Peter Wimsey mystery that I haven't read yet yay).

b) Finally got my test file from my big sib. Yay.

c) Found out the first board review is tomorrow from 6-8pm. Hopefully we'll be back from the shelter by then. Whee. *cries*

d) Am supremely jealous and envious and all those words of the Olympic runners. They are cheetahs and gazelles to my penguin. Someday. Someday. I'll never be that fast, but maybe I can move up to somewhat adorable mutt.

e) Ticks are gross. Also? Gross. Bleeeeh.

f) Annnnnd that's all I got.

g) Oh, wait. I've found Bella whatshisface the ex-gymnastics coach is much more tolerable when he doesn't have little girls to make cry. He's still impossible to understand, but he doesn't inspire the same level of 'omg hate your guts' that he has previously.

h) Favorite race win thus far (discounting all Phelps wins 'cause those were just made of utter awesome): The runner from Beirut winning her heat despite being forced to run in a full body suit while her competitors ran in bikinis, basically. And the runner from Romania winning the marathon, after having lead for a good half of it because the pack didn't believe someone could take off that soon. Kee-kass, gals.

i) And I just heard a woman runner being compared on equal footing with male runners. Rock on. :D

j) And I kind of love the Budweiser ad with the dog and the Clydesdale. It's silly and ridiculous and so freaking cute. *sigh* I'm such a sucker. :D

Castle in the Air is totally and ridiculously adorable. (I really like how irritating Abdullah finds Sophie. BECAUSE SHE IS. *giggling*)

*giggles* I thought I'd picked out Howl fairly early on, but. Um. I was so wrong.

Also, I love Flower-In-The-Night. So much. And she and Abdullah are enormously adorable.

. . . now I have to ask who you thought he was!

ME TOO. I also love the soldier and Beatrice. They are so sensible and practical!

I was so sure he was the soldier. Morgan disappearing when the soldier did just confirmed it, 'cause I pegged the 'genie' as Calcifer, and thus Howl and Calcifer were going after the little princess, and Howl being Howl he decided the safest place for his baby was with him, never mind any djinns.

...

I was part right?

Also my cat has just turned up COMPLETELY FILTHY. Whut.

You were totally close! I didn't get anywhere near that close the first time I read it. I have to admit, thinking back, it is kind of hilarious that the MYSTERIOUS CHARACTER turns out to be Prince Justin every time. I think by now it counts as a trend along the lines of Buffy dying or the Daleks mysteriously surviving - if a stranger shows up with memory loss, it's totally Prince Justin.

Ack! Sounds like cat was possibly having fun doing . . . something mysterious, at least?

Well, there's a third book now, so I'll have to see if poor memory-wiped Prince Justin shows up again.
