link o’ the day: little earth
journal o’ the day: none today, sorry!
i would bitch about it only being tuesday, but i did just pick up my paycheque a while ago, so there’s something to smile about! this is helpful not only because i don’t have to worry about my health insurance cheque bouncing, but i put in a fairly substantial order at amazon uk a couple days ago. i decided to buy the “harry potter” books thru them, since the books are originally published in the uk, and are changed for the american reading audience. for example, i purchased “harry potter and the sorcerer’s stone” at a local bookseller, the novel experience, here in slo. it’s a great book, but i could see where many of the words and phrases would be different in the uk version. when i searched on amazon uk for the other books, i noticed that even the title was different: “harry potter and the philosopher’s stone”! so, i decided to buy it, and re-read, well, probably just skim thru, the book to get the whole british experience! i went ahead and ordered the other two books as well. i know i already have a substantial reading list, but the “harry potter” books are fast reads! i also got “david’s diary” by david coulthard, a scottish f1 driver, who, incidently, won the belgian grand prix this past sunday. i’m getting a bit too hooked on reading other people’s diaries, dontcha think? anyway, that book isn’t available here, so i had to order it. well, i can’t think of anything else to write about right now, so i guess this will be a short entry. if anything else comes up, i’ll put it in the afterthoughts section, but i’ll be sure to let you know. anyway, cheers from slo!
