Life has been quite boring lately. What can I say?

I returned to work a week and a bit early, because someone quit on my manager without notice. Well, that and when you work in retail, summer is always busy, so there's quite a bit of stock in the back that needs to be processed. I'm not particularly useful on the floor, though, since I still sound like I have a speech impediment of some kind.

I watched Shaolin Soccer today. I need to watch more Stephen Chow movies because they're so nonsensical. Plus I get Cantonese practice! What could be better than that? I also watched La cage aux folles over the weekend, because it was the only French movie on DVD I could find in my neighbourhood library (they had Cyrano as well, but that was on VHS with English subtitles, so I said... "eck.")

The splint on my upper teeth comes out tomorrow. :D I also picked up two non-chew cookbooks from the library today; if I'd known such books existed I would have taken them out a month ago.

Plus, I'm reading Deception Point (Dan Brown). I don't know why I am; Dan Brown isn't exactly novel anymore (check out this generator for more!), and the parallels between this work and his other novels are already painfully obvious:

Prologue featuring a murder, check.
Attractive female lead: Rachel Sexton (cf. Susan Fletcher, Sophie Neveu)
Attractive male lead: Michael Tondell (cf. David Becker, Robert Langdon)
Surrogate father figure to attractive female lead: William Pickering (cf. Jacques Saunière, Trevor Strathmore)
Mysterious orders given by an unknown figure, check.
"Cliffhangers" and misdirection at the end of every single bloody two-page chapter, check.
Oh yeah, CONSPIRACY, check.

Honestly, I'd just like him to write a novel with ugly people as leads for once. That might make things more interesting.

Oh, I mentioned a meme, didn't I? (courtesy of shanghai_rose)

Please leave a one-word comment that you think best describes me-- it can only be one word long. Then copy and paste this in your journal so that I may leave a word about you.

And I'm imposing the same restrictions she is: "Nice", "cute", "sweet", "cool", and "fun" aren't allowed, since they're bland filler words. Get a thesaurus, people!
