reading and happy

I started reading a book yesterday that I've had for a few years but never really got around to reading before. It's the first in a series that's the sequel to a series I read a few years back and liked very much. The characters are quite lovable. Even the girls, and you (may) know how picky I am about fictional females. I'm enjoying this series as much as the last one, and all I really wanted to do today was read it. I hope my box of stuff from home arrives before I finish, because the next two books are in it. When I finish the series I may have to take a trip to the Smith Family Bookstore because I have almost nothing else to read here. Either that or I'll have to go to the library and expand my tastes.

Another thing I like about this group of characters (other than they're absolutely adorable) is that I was able to pick out quite a cast for them when I read the earlier series. I've made a few changes since then, but at the moment principle actors include Gerard Butler, Val Kilmer, Heath Ledger, and Jack Davenport (new addition). I love everybody, but Val's character may be my favorite. He's such a smartass. A character I can totally see him playing. He's also very close friends (they're practically joined at the hip) with the main character. Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to work in Robert Pattinson unless I switch him with Orlando Bloom. Phooey.

I got some new headphones today, not replacements for my broken favorites, but some that I may be able to sleep in. They go inside the ear quite deep, and have different size attachments for different size ears (mine are apparently freakishly small). The sound is great, which is fortunate considering what I paid for them. I saw a pair that I'd like to replace my broken ones with too, but I didn't have enough for both them and the printer ink I needed.

Sometime before Thursday I should probably study for that Geology midterm we're having.
