bedlamsbardMy local library has a surprising number of BBC series/miniseries on DVD. Which is lovely, up until the point when someone else has out the next disc of Island at War or Foyle's War and you're leaving town in a week. (Yes. In some cases, my smalltown public library has a better movie collection than my big city uni library.)
THE LIBRARIES IN MY LIFE WANT ME TO BE SAD. This is why Tilton will do things like only have the first season of The Sopranos and the second and third seasons of Being Human but the entire series run of Sex & the City. (It also lacks things like, oh, you know, Pearl Harbor and the second two PotC movies, but I reiterate my point on the entire series run of Sex & the City.)
Also, there is nothing more frustrating than one library having the first book of a series, another library have the second book of said series, and neither library having the second two books. (Well. Aside from neither library having the series at all, or only having the last three books in a twenty-book series. Hi, I'm still trying to read the entire Falco series in order, ask me how.)
Anyway. I watched the first two episodes of Island at War and was very very sad that the second disc was checked out at the library when I went in today, since that means I'm going to have to cross my fingers and hope it's there when I come back in December. Or I guess I could ILL it.
In the meantime, I realized that, uh, I should probably upload my pictures from England so that they are somewhere besides on my camera. There are a lot of them. They're not labeled. This is going to be a great test to see if I can remember what grassy field and/or barrow this is. (Don't worry, Stonehenge I can recognize.highlyeccentric, your pic is somewhere in this bunch. I haven't arrived there yet. I appear to be in Peterborough Cathedral. Wow, I really hope I can tell the difference between Peterborough and Ely. We went on the same day, so the pictures are right next to each other.)
GRE on Tuesday, which reminds me that I should probably get at least an idea of where in the U.S. I want to apply -- U of Washington, UC-Berkeley, Ohio State, probably; maybe Brown, Yale, and Emory? I shouldn't apply to that many schools. (The UK ones I don't have to worry about the GRE, at least.) And back to New Orleans on Saturday! Where I will get my honors thesis sorted out and then make appointments with all my advisors to get the, "I am applying to graduate school, what should I do?" initial questions out of the way.
I am writing. Something. Fic-related.
