It hasn't been my best day, but far from the worst. Work was pretty quiet, mostly because they're installing new computers and a new server so we weren't able to work for twenty- or thirty-minute stretches. One of my co-workers made a fudge cake, and I got a signed card from everyone.

I wish I didn't have to work tomorrow. I'm at a critical point in my writing, and I'd really like to have a full day to work at it. Eight pages left on the heavy edit, and I probably won't have a chance to finish it before Tuesday. After that, I have a couple of short edits planned.

Still not entirely satisfied, but I like it better than anything else I've written so far.

I'm reading American Gods right now, and I'm about one-third of the way through. I also finished Death Note, which is one of the best animes I've ever seen. I'll put up a review sometime when I have the time.

Happy Birthday :) (even though that was technically yesterday)
You really hadn't read American Gods before? Well that's rare that I've read something you haven't...
Was there a discussion at some point over the Death Note manga/anime? I've read the manga and couldn't stand the anime, it was just a big yawnfest to me :P mostly because it's so much talk and internal monologue, which works for reading, but for watching... ?

I think I'm the last geek in the world not to read American Gods, just like I'm the last gay man in the world not to see Brokeback Mountain :p

I keep hearing the manga is much better than the anime -- and I was very, very impressed with the anime, so the manga must be fantastic.

Well, hopefully you'll like it, I thought it was a good one :)
As for Brokeback Mountain, ditto- I hadn't seen it while it was in theaters, just recently on TV. I thought it'd be horribly depressing and I'd hate it, but it was just the opposite.

The manga is fantastic up to a certain point, then it grows sorta meh :P I don't know up to which point the anime covers things, I didn't watch it that far...

I've heard it's a pretty good movie. I just never got around to seeing it.

As for the anime, it goes right to end of the story, though I understand that the end of Light is somewhat different.

Really, right to the end? Past L? I thought they might end it at the end of L... (it was kinda bleh after that).

Yep. Near and Mello and all that. I thought it managed to keep it together after that, but from what I hear the Near/Mello arc is much shorter in the anime than in the manga.

*raises hand*

I haven't seen BbM either.

Good. Then I don't feel so alone :)

Happy belated birthday!

That's nice everyone gave you a card and a cake. :)

[felis-ultharus.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

And yeah -- I've only ever had that once at work before. It was really cool.
