This week work was definitely not my favorite place to hang out, ehm, "work" and it got especially bad at Thursday when we had our monthly meeting (which had been postponed for the last two months - that should tell you how dedicated everyone is at the moment;). I was exhausted after an afternoon of bitching/listening to others bitch. So I wasn't really in the mood to go shopping afterwards, but Thursday is the only night shops are open in town and I had to buy my mom's birthday-present before it would be out of stock.
I had planned to only buy the one book, but as usual I went a little wild in the bookstore and I also bought: two new Classics for my collection (both in Dutch): Mark Twain - The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer plus Cicero - De Oratore and I couldn't resist to finally get my first Manga(!): DeathNote by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata, which is published back to front, like the original. It's a very pretty edition.
I received a free booklet because of thriller-theme-week in the bookstore (so not my genre) but to my surprise I got more; the sales-woman was very excited about DeathNote and went to the back of the shop to get me a special banner she was supposed to put up in the window. It's gorgeous: LOOKIT! How awesome is that?! *loves booklady*
Other news: apparently my body feels three weeks is enough to handle a full cycle of girly fun. The only good thing about this is that the main event is now limited to three days in stead of the usual five. But I still wish I could rely on my bodyclock a little more. Grumble.
Also: I have decided I have to travel back in time and catch up with Doctor Who. After seeing yesterday's episode Utopia, I am definitely hooked, especially on the dialogue. I need more.
