A bunch of thoughts

[altogetherisi]

You guys, I totally went to the gym today. FINALLY. And I was awesome. I used the cross ramp, the hand pedals thing, the cycling machine and the treadmill, and also managed 50 sit-ups. I was actively exercising for 2 ½ hours, which for me is really excellent. And it felt great! Now I feel pleasantly tired, and reckon I’ll sleep well later. Am proud of myself :D 

Of course, the first thing that happens when I get home is that I am offered chocolate cake. OM NOM NOM. Sooo not in danger of losing weight.

Progress toward uni: I’ve written to tell Cambridge my individual scores for each paper I took, and today I received my options for papers to take this year and am about to look up my eading list! OMG actual studying! I also received a letter detailing my loan payments and when exactly I’ll receive them. Money! Joy! I can start thinking about a tentative budget. I’ll blatantly keep revising it, but whatever. It’s really happening!

AND I ORDERED MY NETBOOK. Order definitely went though this time, and its current status is ‘Dispatched’ so I expect I will receive it soooon. Maybe even tomorrow. YAY!!!

A moan: I don’t want TDL to get a different name… Not that that stopped me making suggestions. But still.

To finish – I have got such a thing for cheekbones. Oh god, Colin Morgan… So gorgeous. I mean, he as a whole is a very beautiful talented human being, but I keep staring at the Merlin series 2 promo pics and dear god, his cheekbones… gah. Also, his collar bone and throat. But yeah. Bradley hardly even distracts a glance in this crop of pics.

Tomorrow I am going to the zoo. I am pretty excited.

Um? I think I'll ignore the whole cheekbones thing...

Good job! You're going to get a netbook! And, and, money! And you're going to Cambridge! (That name sounds vaguely familiar.) Yaaaaaay!

And you went to the gym! :) I am still suffering in PE. Unfortunately. I am scared of the gym. Not that I actually have gym membership. Or a gym to go to. So I get my excercise from the 95 degree heat I must walk home in and the horrible, horrible things in PE.

*waves*

I am using my netbook right now! It rocks.

I hope PE isn't so awful to you. I didn't like it much at school, but now much prefer using the gym; probably because I can do as much or as little exercise as I want and don't feel I have to compete or that anyone is judging me. And since I'm only there when I actually want to be there, that makes quite a difference.

Oh my goodness collar bones. Guhhhh ^___^

...what is this about TDL getting a different name? *horror*

[altogetherisi.livejournal.com]

YES. Guh. On him particularly, I just keep staring. So. Gorgeous.

Presumably you aren't on Sarah's mailing list? There's a possibility that TDL might be given a different name for its US paperback release. I don't know whether they have a problem with Demon because its evil/scary/whatever or with Lexicon because its a mildly complex word, but imo I think the US cover should be changed before the title... I love the title "The Demon's Lexicon" its so cool and when you know what it refers to it rocks. So I think this is whole thing is silly and stupid and unecessary and shouldn't happen. But, I still made some suggestions, even though it makes my heart wrench...

No, I'm not on her mailing list... At Comic-Con, she told me it would be rejacketed for the paperback, but nothing about renaming. I am in considerable distress now.

[altogetherisi.livejournal.com]

I know right, I really hope it doesn't happen, its so sad. She only brought it up to the mailing list a couple of days ago, so I think its a pretty recent development.

[empresstria.livejournal.com]

It is indeed so sad. The whole Demon=evil/scary should be a bonus for YA, since it wants to be so edgy and all, and lexicon is just a really cool word.

How would one go about getting onto the mailing list?

[altogetherisi.livejournal.com]

Its a yahoo group called sreesbrennanfans, you can find and join it here http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sreesbrennanfans/ and the discussion of the possible rename are the messages with subject lines An Important Question. But yeah, I hope her publishers see sense and don't rename... TDL rocks...

Well done on the exercise lol. My gym subscription has fallen to the very, very bottom of the list in the last...3 months? I don't actually remember the last time I went. And I'm not even playing netball anymore! Oh dear...

And I share your obsession with Colin Morgan's cheekbones...they are beautiful :)

[altogetherisi.livejournal.com]

I keep meaning to go more regularly but I really don't. But its payg so I'm not actually losing any expensive subscription fee. My college has its own gym, so I hope I'll use that occasionally.

Colin Morgan is so beautiful, I can't wait to see him each week again. *sigh*
