I watched Shawn of the Dead last night and really enjoyed it. This surprised me cause I tend to loathe zombie movies with a passion but I should have trusted anyone who made Hot Fuzz to make just as amusing a zombie movie. Other than that, I've mostly spent the weekend reading ST fanfic, watching ST:TOS and doing my homework.
Today, Borders sent out 40% off coupons which I can never resist so I went and picked up a historical/fantasy AU by S. M. Stirling. There were like a million to chose from though so I hoped I picked a decent one. Then I was lured by the fresh new copies of Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins (sequel to The Hunger Games) to sit down in the cafe, buy a tasty sandwich, strawberry frozen drink thingy (so tasty) and a cookie and start reading. And, well, once I started reading I didn't really have any reason to stop, and the chair was comfy. So I stayed for four hours and read the whole thing. It was excellent. I loved the way the main character was developed and that there was still lots of gore.
Once I finished, I came home, made myself alfredo fettuccine for dinner with strawberries and whipped cream for desert then settled in to read more ST fic. It's been a nice weekend, though it sort of makes me tense up and wonder what else is going to go wrong in the next few weeks. I may be a bit paranoid about life at this point.
I haven't gotten any hours yet (and I assume if I fuck up in service training things would go badly) but other than those things, I pretty much have a lifeguarding job at Rutgers. I'll get hours at some point this week. I also signed up for a recreational course in belly dancing, which should be fun. I should still have time to write and apply for phds if I keep on top of everything, though my next few months are going to be very busy. So it goes.
