RST: New glasses, giveaway, Stephen King, Timothy Hutton, and creative block

Thanks to McGriddle Pants, it is once again, Random Shit Tuesday!

My randomness...

♣ On Friday I picked out my new glasses. They should be here any day now... Unfortunately, my insurance didn't cover that much of the cost, so I couldn't get anything too stylish because glasses are expensive, but I think I made the right decision with the ones that I did buy. I think. I'm awful at making big decisions like this. There was one pair that I wanted really badly, but because my noggin' is so humongo, I couldn't get them. Just trying them on was giving me a headache. Oh, and today I'm getting a new haircut. I hope I like it. I'm so nervous. If all goes well, maybe I'll post a pic.

♠ We have a Giveaway winner!

Congrats to cbs111! I gotta be honest, I have no idea who Justin Bieber is, although I see his name everywhere lately (and I think I'm okay not knowing, so don't anyone feel like they need to fill me in or anything. Thanks.). Email me your address, and I'll send those earrings out to you, toot-sweet!

♥ I'm currently involved with a Stephen King book right now (see the side bar). I can't say I'm lovin' it, but I'm not big on quitting a book without finishing it, especially a King book. I have been a huge fan of King's work ever since I graduated from the R.L. Stine/Christopher Pike stage. King's writing has definitely evolved over the years, especially since his "retirement". It seems he's veering away from his typical horror writing, and becoming more of a... suspense writer? I guess that's a good way to describe his recent writings. I suppose old age is mellowing him out. That and he's been off the drugs for awhile now, and I guess it would be logical to say that his writing has been affected by that. Oh well. I'm sure I'll continue to read whatever else he writes.

♦ I briefly caught an episode of Leverage the other night, which is a new-to-me show on TNT. I didn't watch enough to be able to come to any conclusion about how I feel about it, but I did watch enough to remind me that I love Timothy Hutton. Maybe not love in a Christian Slater sense, but I had definitely forgotten about how much I enjoy Hutton.

I'm sure most people remember him from Ordinary People and other early works, but I remember him best from his roles in The Dark Half and Beautiful Girls (I love that movie).


★  I think I have a serious creative block going on. Or something like that. The world has got me down. Which means I may or may not be absent for awhile. I'm kind of bummed out and discouraged in general, so I might not be posting as frequently. Please, try to contain your disappointment, and let's not make a scene.


That is all. Have a great week!
