there's nothing quite as irritating as being flailed in the eye

One of my ex-coworkers saw Neil Gaiman walking down the street toward him, in full Neil regalia - mussy hair, sunglasses and leather jacket. I promptly told him I was incredibly jealous.

In a few weeks, if all goes well, amezri is coming down to stay with me for our Birthday weekend. All I can say is prepare to be very Asian. I've already staked out a few places in Rowland Heights, there's got to be a dim sum experience, swapmeets, Japanese supermarkets and their delicious, delicious candy, and then possibly Dick Blick's in Pasadena, because I think they carry stuff even Pearl Art doesn't.

I crave egg tarts.

Next week I'm picking up Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows. Actually, I'm borrowing it from work.

I just finished Something Rotten by Jasper Fforde, and have gotten the newest Thursday Next novel.

Re: Kinokinuya carries Jasper Fforde?

haha, for some reason the Kinokuniya bookstores in Singapore carry many more English books than Japanese... catering to the local population, i guess! it's actually one of my favourite chain bookstores and i applied for a position there recently... but i might or might not have said the company was "patriarchal" during the interview. eeps.

here's the link to the video:
