* Grab the nearest book.
* Open the book to page 123.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post the text of the next 4 sentences on your LJ along with these instructions.
* Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.

Outside of drug dealing, dorm-room prostitution, and creating Web sites like MySpace, waiting tables provides the biggest financial bang for the least temporal buck. After the students comes the artistes - the endless procession of models, painters, writers, and actors - who struggle to make ends meet as they chase their American Idol dreams. I remember one waiter, an aspiring screenwriter, who shamelessly pitched his script to every unwilling customer he thought might get him a shot at Hollywood. He had a brilliant idea, so it was tough to watch his zeal turn into measured optimism, devolve into cynicism, and finally ossify into "c'est la vie."

This is probably the first nonfiction book I've read in ten years. It's called Waiter Rant, and it's... what the title says. It's a book about the experiences of an anonymous waiter and an account of how he got there and why he stayed. I work in an upscale sit-down restaurant, as everyone probably knows, so this stuff is really interesting to me. I love hearing the server stories at work, too. And I think they all really appreciate having someone to bitch to.

YEAH AND NOW I RUN OFF TO WORK FOR REALS.

THE QUEST FOR PAPA WINCHESTER CONTINUES.

So far, I like the set up of the show. It has an over-arching plot but individual stories in each episode which is what I like. It also always has a small tidmit about the main plot instead of every other episode. And... idk. I didn't think I would like Sam or Dean but I really like both of them. 1,543 more episodes until Castiel. *_*

edit; ( Thoughts, ep. 5 )

And now I go to work. I'll probably watch more tomorrow in-between my classes.

I WANT TO MAKE ICONS.

Someone give me something to do so with.

Shit, my episode ended at 30 mims. Gonna have to download it again somewhere.

For my own reference:

Stephen King, On Writing - pg. 52
Cornelia Funke, Inkheart - pg. 30
Stephen King, Cell, - pg. 96

I will repeat what I said on my twitter:

OH MY GOD. DAYBREAKERS. SO GOOD. WANT TO SEE IT AGAIN.

Full review later? Maybe. After I get a burger.

There were a lot more that I forgot, since I didn't start this list until... July. Oops.

Thank you, continuum! ;; I love love love polar bears (especially the Coke ones!) I even have a Christmas ornament that's a polar bear holding a Coke.

In other news, I've been looking at 2010, and I want to do something... pretty epic for it. I was thinking of trying to become a waitress (which is a huge step for me, you guys don't understand. Being the center of attention makes me have near panic attacks. ;;) but the staff keeps telling me it's not worth it because they only make more money on me with big tables or super busy nights. So I'm going back and forth on this, really.

BUT. I was browsing the friend list and I saw someone asking an artist on said list if they were going to NYCC 2010. And I think that's the epic thing I want to do. I've been begging to go back to New York City since I went when I was... six, I think? And I've just always wanted to go to one of those huge conventions.

And it's just. Comic Con. It'd be awesome.

The problem is reassuring my mother I won't be viciously murdered, mugged, or raped because of being alone in a huge city in a different state. Imagining me telling her... she'll probably forbid me to go. Which is ironic because I'll be 21 before I even go. 8(

Nothing else to report! ... except anons on rp_anon_meme and lacidiana are pressuring me to make an RP based on Daybreakers which I... would absolutely love to do. I think the humans vs. vampires dynamic would be fun as hell, and a few people have expressed interest. I'll have to see what my workload in January is like, but I am really interested in doing it!

Should've done this awhile ago, lol.

If you know me at all, you know that I utterly adore snow (much to birds's chagrin). So, when it snowed 10 inches here in North Carolina (even in the mountains, it's pretty rare) I basically... well, crapped myself.

( I present to you the '09 Shitload of Snow Picspam. )

All in all:

Snow + Hannah = *A*

Okay. I saw the midnight showing of Avatar with Jack, Michael, and Ian. Yesterday was sort of an adventure because we decided to meet up at 6:00... for some reason. So we're all at Michael's house, counting down the hours until it's a reasonable time to leave. Michael and I played a bit of Versus on the first Left 4 Dead (just the two of us, and of course I won by 800 points :')) and forced Jack and Ian, who've never played the game, to try out Survival mode. Sadly, they actually did better than I usually do, though Ian and I won that particular contest with a grand time total of 2 minutes and 11 seconds.

Which, if you don't know, is barely halfway to the "bronze standard" time.

We played that until 8:00 because Jack wanted to play 1 vs. 100. Between the four of us, we did pretty well until the sports and Nobel Prize questions. I usually got movie/fantasy/novel/animal questions, Michael had sci-fi, Jack also had novels and some sports questions, and Ian had movies. Pretty good assortment. We sucked with streaks, though. I think our highest was 7 or something.

SO. We play that until 9:00 then decide we're going to Brix Pizza. Shut up, it's delicious. We got a brushetta appetizer and Ian and I split a buffalo chicken pizza. Even though it's flatbread, it's pretty amazing. (Amusingly, after eating the app the waiter told us if we waited until 10 we could get a buy 1 get 1 free pizza deal... so we did.) We stayed there until about 10:30 and tried to go to Barnes & Noble but they had closed at nine. Then we tried Cold Stone, who had closed at 10:00. Eventually, we're standing in the cold like, "... okay, what now." So we go back to my car and load up ENORMOUS LOADS OF CRAP FOOD in my purse. I had to carry:

- swedish fish
- sour patch kids
- blue mountain dew
- cheerwine
- twizzlers
- can of slim jims
- some sort of Fuse drink
- and a Arizona tea

and it was heavy as shit. Miraculously, no one decided they wanted to search my bulging messenger bag so I was lugging it around for 10 minutes while we decided which arcade game to play in the movie theatre. We play crap for a while then get in the theatre at 11:20.

So. The movie. Since I'm terrible at reviewing things, let me quote Manohla Dargis' review in the NY Times:

"Few films return us to the lost world of our first cinematic experiences, to that magical moment when movies really were bigger than life (instead of iPhone size), if only because we were children. Movies rarely carry us away, few even try. They entertain and instruct and sometimes enlighten. Some attempt to overwhelm us, but their efforts are usually a matter of volume. What's often missing is awe, something Mr. Cameron has, after an absence from Hollywood, returned to the screen with a vengeance. He hasn't changed cinema, but with blue people and pink blooms he has confirmed its wonder."

( My own thoughts, possibly contains spoilers. )

Honestly, I'll probably go see it again in 3-D, since the midnight showing was 2-D.

( RP meme taken from everyone. )

Work just called me in, yay! More money for Hannah. It's been ridiculously busy every day I've worked this month so I'm trying to get in as many days as I can, especially considering it'll probably be dead for the whole month of January. It usually is, sadly.

I've also been running through Assassin's Creed II (just finished DNA sequence 5) and I cannot believe how much better than AC1 it is. It's like the game developers actually listened to all the complaints about the first game... and changed the second to address them. Ezio very quickly grew on me and once I get a little further I think I'm going to start playing him in the fountainofcod.

Also: thank you for the snowflake cookies, everyone! I really wanted to send some back but I guess Livejournal realized people were actually enjoying something and got rid of them very quickly.
