I started this post at 10am.
Honestly? This has been the kind of week that's best ended with a good amount of drinking. Lucky for me, that's on deck for tonight. And eating, because rumor has it those two go well together. Who knew?
Work has been 10 pounds of crazy in a five-pound bag, and there are plenty of other things stressing me out, and I'm of the opinion right now that talking about them will only make it worse, not better. (Except my hair, but that's a conversation I plan to have with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
alcestis very soon.)
I'm going to try to focus on other things and work on being relaxed and HAPPY, because today is FRIDAY. The most wonderful day of the week. It's also not just a Friday, but a Friday before a great and glorious THREE DAY WEEKEND. Which includes a Torchwood marathon this Sunday on BBC America, so I'll be all caught up in time for the premiere of Season 2. I also will be watching Doctor Who via Netflix, so I should be fully steeped into that universe in no time. Which is good, as what's left in the TV stores is bound to run out soon, and I'm going to need some brain candy.
T-minus 22 days until my classes start! I'm so excited. I got my registration packet two days ago, and yesterday I got an ENORMOUS course bulletin for the School of Continuing and Professional studies at NYU. No, really. It's FUGE. I have no idea why it was necessary to do it in an 11 x 14 trim size, but it's in NYU's very nature to spread out all over everything, so there you have it.
Other good things about today include that the NYPL has delivered three more of my requested items:
Camera Obscura - Underachievers Please Try Harder (I'm not sure how I happened upon this band, but they've been really growing on me.)
Rilo Kiley - More Adventurous (The album that everyone insists is their best one. We shall see. I did like Under the Blacklight.)
The Cabinet of Curiosities - Douglas Preston and Lincoln Childs - Words can not express how very excited I am to read this. Since I finished The Dresden Files series (until the new book, anyway), I have a vacancy in my book schedule for another series, so I can continue reading about FBI Special Agent Pendergast, whom I first met in Relic and Reliquary. He's bizarre, he's wicked smart, unnaturally pale, and always wears the same, black, expensive suit. (Naturally, I have a crush on him.) I just finished the book for my book club (another rant for another time - suffice to say I didn't care for it) this morning, so the timing is impeccable.
And now, I'm going to enjoy the fact that it's 2:36, I'll be out of here very soon, and enjoying my weekend. As I hope you all will be.

It sort of was, but the last few days have been crammed full of crazy both at work and beyond.
There's definitely going to be drinking. *rubs temples*
So you'd recommend Relic, Reliquary, and probably Cabinet? I've seen those around and keep thinking they might be fun reads...
Also, yay classes!
