what a day

1. i have a new job. they did say they're trying me out, so i don't know how temporary or permanent it may be, but i'm going to be working for a website for boston, brookline, and cambridge. woot woot!
2. i saw the new harry potter. i do have to say it wasn't the same blend of ineffable humor and normalcy against the danger and darkness that the others were, but it was true to the book in that respect and appropriate for the overall plot. and i shed a dutiful tear for <the ending>, but I have to say I bawled at the end of Order of the Phoenix and this <ending> didn't have the same effect on me. But there was still a single tear.
3. i got suddenly inspired by the trailers in a way that may have me setting aside arianna for a little while. suddenly i just got really inspired to start my next project, and got the feeling that it might be a timely, necessary move. it's a take on the robin hood tale (which anyone who knows me is aware is the root of my thief obsession)(which is a major obsession). it started with a short story i wrote ages ago, but i've been dying to make it into a full novel.
4. my mother is becoming a mac user. hell has frozen over, mostly with the thick crust of my jealousy. i would have bought a macbook, but i could afford the comparable model. :-(
i think this means i might spend some quality time at the lib tomorrow to do some robin hood research...who knows!
