Things Looking Up

Today has been a good day so far. I actually got to work early and its grey and kind of pretty with all the lovely leaves falling. My discussion section was basically everyone bitching about how the expectations and grading for the 500 assignment were incredibly confusing, our poor GSI tried hard but honestly this course is just stupidly organized. The information's interesting and I think I can see one place I messed up so I will do better on the next assignment that's due this coming Wednesday, also I won't do it the night before.
There's an SI Halloween party tonight but I'm not sure about going to it. I think I'll go to my friend's party tomorrow and tonight put either Sameth or Jane in Milliways. Also I bought a microphone for my computer and I'm going to record a booktalk for Hexwood since more people should read this book and its a class assignment.
Oh and a wonderful addendum to things in general, thanks to the mailing list I'm on for YA librarians and teachers, I won a copy of a new book.
Tomorrow I will be pooka myself and enjoy Halloween but tonight I will enjoy Milliween on its first day. I love so much how a good holiday in Milliways can stretch on for days. Its very like how my family is in terms of birthdays and holidays, because usually our schedules are busy so its hard to have everyone there for everything. So you get birthday months and Christmas over a few weeks, its wonderful and one of those great things about Milliways, its hard to miss out on something since its all very flexible.
Also I'm going to do the fandom meme that's floating around. Last seen on
doihearawaltz and
bookelfe.
1) Post a list of up to 20 books/movies/anime/TV shows/whatever that you have been dorkily in love with at some point or other. (This is a randomly chosen and by no means complete list, as you all know very well.)
2) Have your f-list guess your favorite character/member from each item. (Some of these will be total gimmes, I am well aware! I am not exactly unpredictable . . .)
3) When someone guesses correctly, strikethrough the item and put the name of your favorite character next to it.
