Not a lot o' talkin' lately. Not a whole lot goin' on.
Seriously. I'm tryin' to think of somethin' funny to talk about, but I got absolute bupkus. I live, though, so there's that.
Attempting to clean out my room is turning out to be rather a laborious process. Found a glass chess set today that I never used because both of the frosted knights were broken; it's in otherwise perfect condition, so I may glue the knights together, but I already have a wood set up on my game shelf, so I think I'd feel more than a bit pack-rat-ish for keeping both. I'm no collector, and one of them (or both) will end up collecting dust.
I also have mounds of paper to sort through and determine the usefulness, whether it be for me or for the recycling bag. I'm hoping the latter.
My mother is going to try and start working towards a master's in library science, since her English degree is not enough. She showed me one of the books required today; she's been highlighting grammatical errors and logical flaws, which run about two to a page, and this bothers me. Such sloppy craftsmanship on the part of the author raises significant concerns to me about the author's competence, and if this book (on informational science) is that loose with its format and is still required text for a master's, then you can imagine the faith I have in that program. I also read a section of the author's material, and he seems to be writing from the arbitrary standpoint that there is a concern over the distribution of information, and that this concern is "growing". He then went into a minor proof of how the vast amount of information is somehow "viewed with trepidation and fear".....and then I snorted and returned my mother the sorry manuscript.
I actually hope my mother gets her masters, because then perhaps there will be one more Competent librarian in the world, and not just a bunch of old women and spinsters who work around a plethora of information that they are "afraid of". Good grief.
Also, apparently the local staffing agency can't figure out how to leave a message with their clients saying "I'll be in my office at ______ tomorrow; call me then." I've been offered a job on the groundskeeping staff out at our local Country Club, but the darned people have been playing phone tag for over a week, and I may have to start moving pieces myself. I can't believe I have to play Mastermind just to be able to cut grass for eight hours a day. Sheesh.
Help me, guys. Give me somethin' to ramble about. Like Sour Starburst or somethin'
Oh! What about Milla Jovovich for Kusanagi? I dunno, and I got no other reason besides her role in Resident Evil; the thought kinda just popped into my head, what since I know people don't want Jolie in it, I have already made clear my views on Alba, and Sigourney Weaver is unfortunately too old.
Sigourney Weaver would have rocked, though. Linda Hamilton, not so much, but she at least could have pulled the attitude off, I think.
We need more women who care less about looking sexy and care more about being competent. Maybe Weaver should give some lessons.
