castalia: (Hugh & Stephen)
Spring Break is here!!! Yeah, it feels nothing remotely like spring outside (and I've still not had my fill of winter yet), but a week off is a week off is a blessed relief from the daily grind, what? I have plans to catch up on sleep, watch a few movies I've been planning to see, paint the town if not red then a nice shade of green with [livejournal.com profile] cimmerianwillow, try a few recipes, and maybe visit a battlefield park if it ever stops raining.

Not big plans, I admit, but my plans. I might also be a big boring dork and find a cool puzzle to work on, or work on this thrice damned collage a bit.

Also, I have new shoes. Mum dragged me to a local discount shoe place (I grumbled, as usual), but as it often happens when I go along on her shopping errands, I found something cool for me. I now have the New Balance 1221 running shoes, which are blue and white and silver and grey and just plain nifty. And take a gander at the retail price. Expensive, eh? Guess what I paid? Only $30. They've been worn before (much of this store's stock has been, usually by models), but dude, I saved over a hundred bucks. This makes me happy.

Got my hair cut today and feel much less like the proverbial shaggy dog. Now I'll be able to wear my hats again without it bugging me.

Also noteworthy, I finished The Mating Season this evening, which was as excellent as anything else written by Wodehouse. It was full of Plum's usual crowd of lovable characters, including Catsmeat Potter-Pirbright (of whom I'm rather fond, in the books and the series), Gussie (a bit churlish in this one, but still cute), and Esmond Haddock (who I think Bertie had a bit of a crush on *g*). Complex hijinks ensued, as per usual, accompanied by Bertie's incomparable narrative (which I'd missed lately, not having read a Jeeves book in a few months). The only sad thing is that now I have but one Jeeves novel left to read - Jeeves in the Morning.

Speaking of Jeeves, I say it's about time for another chat. *pokes Melissa, Chrissy, Audrey, and other Wodehouse fen* What say you?
