Oh...I really wish I had Twilight and New Moon with me now. I re-read the former last week and I want to read read the latter now! *pout*

I seem to have a lot of phlegm in my throat and it's really bothering me. I've been clearing my throat all day, trying to be discreet and undisruptive. I wanted to drink milk, but I can't. This morning my ma told me I couldn't have sweet stuff(honey, candy, soda), either. Anything else that contirbutes to phlegm? Ehhhhhhh....

**Warning: My review of Masterpiece Theater's The Ruby in the Smoke**

I just finished watching The Ruby in the Smoke on Masterpiece Theater. IT's a part of a series written by Phillip Pullman. I believe I had read the first book and wanted to continue, but apparently, I didn't get a chance to.

All I have to say is: an hour and a half for one Phillip Pullman's books is not gonna cut it. It was too short, the middle (a.k.a most important part--including plot, etc.) was rushed, the ending left us hanging. All in all, not the best it could have been. The ending was at most, anticlimatic. Not to say it wasn't interesting, riveting, and my nose glued to the screen, but...*shrug* yeah.

But Billie Piper was pretty good. Her British accent was a little different and she is twenty when Sally Lockhart is supposed to be sixteen, but she did better than I thought she would. *nod nod* I like her. The same way I though Ruth Wilson wasn't much, but she was great in Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre.

And I was a little...enamored by Mr. Rochester--Toby Stephens. *cough chough* Eh-hem. I'm such a romanticist. *rolls eyeballs*

off to finish my little bowl of ramen before drifting to Sleepyland,

Yes, the topic of today's piece will be the ever confounding ICE.

This curious development of the water element was seen on my way to ISSAC, a place where a few friends volunteer on Sundays.

They had first met their 'manager/superviser' through me; I had invited them to participate in some volunteering event or other. The man was to watch over the office upstairs while the others went about the streets on business. We met, introductions made, and got along. He asked us to help out some days, we agreed. I could only help out for about two weeks before my teaching sessions started for the year.

Anywayz, they've been helping out since. Okay, there was a period of six weeks or so that they didn't go, but...=P Soo, I was going for a visit after my meeting. I wasn't sure if I remembered where it was, but I got there soon enough. I climbed the stairs and walked quickly through the place until I reached his office. Instead of the two/three teenage girls I expected, he was the only one inside the door! >.< I scurried past the door and deciding they weren't there after all, turned around and ran past the door again. I made my way down the stairs and out the door as quickly as possible. I did not want to see him. Or him to see me. >.>'' Heh.

They weren't there!! >=[ Arrrgh. That was when I saw The Ice. A curious looking brown mound on the ground with crystallized edges. It's cooold these days so when I bundle up, I unvariably start walking with my head bent towards the floor. I saw the mound and yet continued to walk until my foot landed right on top of it.
And I slipped.

Wheeeeeeeeeee! Eeeeeeeeeee!

It was a puddle(if that's the right word for it) of some sort of frozen drink. Coffee, perhaps, or tea w/ milk. Whatever it was, it made me curse for the first time today! *gasp* 0.0 *faint* Ah, nevermind. Let me dust myself off before continuing. *pat pat*

Now...actually, I have nothing else to say. Nothing whatsoever else to talk about. So here are some reminders:

Vote for me in the NWF!
Vote for my avvie in the Ikimashokie's Avvie Contest!

I've decided to have a contest of my own: whomever can make the best letter/description of Masterpiece Theater wins 100pps. Objective: To persuade my mother to allow me to watch it every Sunday. make it into a ritual, habit, routine perhaps. ;)
