Loving this Monday

Today is Monday, NO WORK today. Feel strangely unsettled though. My internal clock is all out of whack. Feels like a Sunday today, but no church, since I had it yesterday. Confused yet? I am. Let me explain, take you back further. Had to work all day Saturday, hence have today off. I seem to be going backwards today.

Originally had plans to go see Pride and Prejudice with a friend. But that friend has turned out to be in desparate need of a root canal (ouch - both physically and financially). So my plans have changed to hibernating at home, being only 12 degrees outside, freezing compared to yesterday's 24 degrees. So far, I've been watching Spooks, a British TV spy show a la Alias and 24. However it's nowhere near as good as 24. Spooks is more a slowburner, where it only gets exciting near the last 15 minutes of the one hour episode. And it's definitely low budget. Only treated to explosions every few episodes, and their high tech gadgets, well lets just say its not much, other than bugs, bugs, bugs. I guess I've been spoiled by 24's cool Bond-type gadgets. So, why you ask, do I bother watching this show? Because I have the whole of season 1 and 2, and it would be a waste not to finish it. Halfway through 2, almost there! And I've always liked the idea of spys. It would be a neat job. Although I don't think I could stand the pressure.

So my other plans for the day is to curl up with my Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: The Trilogy of Four and a cup of hot something. 4 books in 1, what a deal. But it does present quite a problem lugging it around since its size is slightly thicker than that of the latest Harry Potter. I'm at book 2. Hooked. But not the page-turner type where you have to stay up all night to find out what happens next. I have a thing for series, whether movies or books. Just staring at my bookshelf right now, I can see Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Left Behind. It's the never-endingness of series that I like. Well, off I go to make that hot cup-of-something!
