Is by Meimi, that wonderful Goddess who brings joy and happiness to the hearts of Ingrids.
This time, Meimi brought joy by doing a layout of Isumi Shinichirou and Waya Yoshitaka, of Hikaru no Go. It is full of wub.
So, every time someone enters my apartment for the first time (and sometimes on entering it a second, third, or tenth time) they generally comment on the fact that I have a lot of books. I assume this is because comments about the other facets of my apartment that leap to one's attention ("Holy shit, this place is a pigsty!" and "Fuck, it's the size of a box") would be rude.
I also get questions about whether I've read everything I own. But I got those in elementary school.
In the last couple days, however, I was seized by a desire to find out exactly how many books I do own, and how many I've read.
So. I counted 406 books, including duplicates and some text books. The ones in bold are the ones I have read. The ones that are italicized can mean I've read selections from it, or I started reading it and got bored, I started reading it and then it got stolen and by the time I got another copy I never remembered to start reading it again, or, in the case of the Wodehouse books, that I can't remember which ones I -have- read.
Enjoy. And maybe now I'll never be asked again.

And my favourite movie's been Casablanca since I was nine - your point?

"The lives of spies are complicated. I guess."
School? Sucks. Why am I here? Not sure. Likely future? Bagging groceries, dead at thirty. But none of that is the point. The point is that on Friday I watched a repeat of a new show on FOX, because my mother told me to, and I enjoyed it.
It's called House and it stars Hugh Laurie. It's one of those medical-drama-mystery-type shows, which I normally wouldn't be that interested in, but Laurie plays the world's most misanthropic doctor. He hates people, he's brutally honest, he doesn't like talking to patients because patients lie, he's got a sense of humour that's pure evil . . . it's delightful, funny and riveting and dramatic all at once. I'm definitely going to make a point of catching it on a weekly basis. Hopefully it won't go the way of Wonderfalls.
It is unsettling hearing Laurie put on an American accent though, especially when there's someone else with a British accent on the show. The lack of accent makes me sad.
Laurie's a British actor who I first became familiar with when I was around six or seven and Masterpiece Theatre was showing Jeeves and Wooster. I can't remember specifically how old I was, I just know I was younger than eight because I remember watching it when Mommo and Grandfather were visiting one summer, and Grandfather died when I was eight so . . . My mum let me stay up past my bedtime to watch Stephen Fry as Jeeves and Hugh Laurie as Bertie Wooster, and things like this probably have a lot to do with my inability to relate to my peers. I absolutely loved that show, though. They're on DVD now, and I keep looking at them wistfully, because Jeeves and Wooster is definitely on the list of things that I wouldn't object to having on DVD.
Laurie was also on Rowan Atkinson's Blackadder series. He was Prince Ludwig in the last episode of series two, Mad Prince George in series three, and Lieutenant George in four, but I still haven't seen most of season three, and season two and four weren't seen until I was around ten or so. And he and Stephen Fry had their own sketch comedy series, A Bit of Fry and Laurie, that I got to see bits and pieces of when the comedy network aired it for a little while early on Sunday mornings when I was in grade eight or nine.
I like Hugh Laurie. I've liked him since I was very small and didn't actually know what his name is. And I like House. This is a good thing. I don't get to say that too often, I spend so much time dwelling on the negative, but I'm happy to have this, as both a new show and a small reminder of some of the thigns that were a fundamental part of my childhood.
So very, very messed up, Almighty Ingrid, Signing Off
