and now i'm broke

Once or twice every month I have Wednesdays off. The reason being that on Wednesdays we have whole days devoted to only one subject, and I don't have two of those four subjects. Today was one of those days off and I decided to spend my day shopping for birthday presents. I'm invited to two birthdays this weekend. But, the problem was that I am very broke at the moment. I had not enough money to buy to presents, so I had to borrow money from my dad. No problem, really. When I got to the mall I quickly decided on what to buy. I got The Hangover for my guy friend and the first season of Weeds for my girl friend. Hopefully, they'll like it. The Hangover is a movie a guy would like, right?

Then, since I had spent so little time on the present shopping I decided to waste some time doing my favorite thing: Book browsing. I wasn't going to buy anything, with me being almost broke. So I walked around and just looked. I love looking at books. It's so soothing. But then I discovered that they had gotten Good Omens. Yeah... We all know my resolve would break. I read the first few pages and I laughed out loud several times. (People were looking at me.) And there was only one left! I had to buy it, I had to! So I did. I am definitively so very broke right now. I barely have enough money to take the bus.

This weekend the Biathlon World Cup is coming to Oslo. I wanna go so badly! I wanna see Emil Hegle Svendsen being awesome in person. But I can't. Not only cause I have no money! But also because my weekend is jammed packed already. As I mentioned I have two birthdays to go to. One birthday on Friday, one birthday on Saturday. And on Saturday I'm also going to be a Confirmation Leader for the kids who are going to get confirmed this year. I'm really looking forward to it. I hope I'll make a good leader.

I have finished my Triple H story, the one about Paige. And [livejournal.com profile] grim_lupine was awesome enough to look it over for me as well. So I just have to edit the things she pointed out and then I'll post it for your reading pleasure!

Also! I want to watch White Collar, because I have found out that it might just be a show made for me, or something. But surfthechannel doesn't have it!! This is throwing me off, cause surfthechannel is supposed to have everything! (They had links to Max Manus, for christ sake!) So what do I do, all knowing flist? How am I gonna get to watch this show?

GOOD OMENS!!!!! :D

There's no way you could have passed that up. That book is brilliant. :D

You should read it and tell me whether or not you agree that Aziraphale and Crowley are the world's best, oldest married couple or not. :D

I swear I will read it and tell you all about what I thought.

Yeah, I saw it and was like, fuck, I have to buy this! I have to!

I was dragged to watch 'The Hangover' by my husband, and despite being ready to endure it, I really enjoyed it and laughed a lot. Have you watched it? If not, check it out, it's worth a look. And yeah, it's totally a movie any guy would love. :)

No, I haven't seen it, so it's nice to know it's good. Then I can feel secure in my choice of present then! :)

Hangover is a movie for pretty much anyone who is able to laugh, it's hilarious. But yeah, a guy will most likely like it. ;)

Also, being broke should be totally worth it, because you bought Good Omens. That book is fantastic. Aziraphale and Crowley are so much fun. <333

It's good to hear that it'll make a good present then!

I've quickly understood how great Good Omens is. I've barely read 50 pages and I've laughed more than in ages. I love it already. Def. worth spending all my money.
