I was grocery shopping in Tesco earlier when they started playing 'Jingle Bell Rock' over the speakers. Did I think Christmas spirit? Nope. I thought
Lethal Weapon. I love how many action movies take place at Christmas. Nothing says "peace on Earth" like blowing up a building. (Yes, that was sarcasm.) I love LW. Seriously overdue a rewatch.
Not that I have time right now. I'm going to be pretty scarce on-line for the rest of the weekend as, like some of you, I'm taking the JLPT on Sunday. I haven't sat a language exam for almost a decade, so this should be interesting. I've got Monday off work so I at least get a bit of a weekend, and am contemplating taking myself shopping as a treat as there is a small voice inside of me that says it's been a while since I last bought a pair of boots. I've got black, I've got purple, but I don't have any brown and I feel this situation should be rectified. So, good luck to everyone else who's taking the test! My fingers are crossed for us all.
In between revision, I've been getting acquainted with
Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge. Am now 53 chapters through the manga and I have to say, if the drama's even half as funny as the source material, it's going to be an absolute scream. I can't wait to see Kame as Kyouhei - he's going to be *perfect*. I'm not sure how a live-action Sunako will work out, mind you, but I'm sure they'll figure out something. Too bad I'm in South Africa when the series starts and therefore will not be getting anywhere near it until the start of February. :-( You guys will simply have to flail for me, okay?
Since I am trying to be good and drag myself away from the laptop to do more sensible things (namely, get some sleep so I don't yawn all the way through the exam, and make sure I know everything I think I know), I'm going to cheat and get in a couple of birthday greetings at once here. It's now after midnight in my timezone so I feel justified in saying a very Happy Birthday to
fushigitenshi! I appreciate you won't have hit the right day yet, Ria, but I hope it's a good one when it arrives! And even earlier, a very Happy Birthday to
rkold for Sunday. (I can never remember which way round the two of you are, but luckily my PDA is set to remind me.) Have a wonderful weekend, Rachel - I'll have to take you out for cake in February! *hugs*
Between revision, Nano, and various things going on at work I've been all of a muddle this last month! One of my colleagues has already handed out her Christmas cards and I haven't even bought mine yet, never mind sorting out for birthdays and things. *sigh* I think my life should quieten down a bit by March, maybe?
Have a good weekend, everyone! ^_^
