Walking Makes Your Feet Hurt.

Oh Dawson's Creek, how I love you! The inevitable has happened, I have watched the final episode yet again. And of course, here I sit, teary eyed, wondering why can't all men be like Pacey? And of course I am very sad about Jen. I really enjoy the music on Dawson's Creek, its quite perfect. I wish I hadn't lost my copy of the first Dawson's Creek soundtrack, maybe I shall ask itunes if they have it.

This week I had a nice conversation with a man in Forbidden Planet about silly American and separate English versions of books. It makes my life terribly complicated. Plus they are re-releasing alot of my favourites with new covers now that Paranormal Romance and Urban Fantasy are the new cool thing, oh I'm sorry, they call it "Dark Fantasy" now, what a load of rubbish. The old names were perfectly fine. I mean really, do we need to fill our shops with it, do vampires have to be so cool? I liked them much better when they weren't. And it hasn't made getting the books I want any easier. In fact its worse, because the bookshops are so full of the teeny vampire stuff (which I admit, I do read, but its not the best) that there is no room for the good stuff! (I use the term good stuff loosely, it is in my opinion good stuff, but some people may disagree) The only shiny wonderful thing is that maybe I shall be able to get the new Rachel Vincent, Alpha, more easily when it comes out. I am desperate to read that book. I got off track there, my initial complaint is that now they are re-releasing things with new covers I wont have a matching set of most of my favourite books. And I have to have a horrible Trublood cover for my Sookie Stackhouse, which is entirely unnecessary. I am reading a book, not watching TV, I dont need to see real people, thankyou very much.

Ok, mini rant over.

And so shall begin another. They have put in new self service tills in my Sainsburys, and taken away some regular ones. This infuriates me. It doesn't use less staff, as they are constantly having to fix the damn things. They get confused when you use your own bags. They take longer in the end. I would like my regular tills back please.

In other news, the busiest week is almost over. So from tomorrow I shall become a hermit. Mostly because I am running low on petrol, and I cant afford or be bothered to buy more right now. But also because I need to spend some quality time with my books, and my tv, and my Dawsons Creek, and potentially Buffy. I may attempt to create more things, but I think I need to concentrate on the embroidering, as my exhibition is not too far away now. Thankfully this coincides with my need to watch Dawson's Creek, as I couldn't possibly not watch something whilst sewing.

I suppose I should also plan stuff, and make records, and sort out some budgets and stuff. But really when I could be watching Dawsons Creek and embroidering, why would I want to do anything else?

PS - I went to see this new Temenos thing today, the huge public art thingy in Middlesbrough. It was quite nice, although I had to walk a long way to see it.
