sometimes (often) I'm a material girl

oanjaNow that I know I'm getting some money at the end of the week I've been looking at gaming consoles again. >_> Oops? But I could get a really basic (very small memory) xbox360 with 130€ That's cheap! Especially now that I'm paying for viaplay anyway, it would be cool to be able to watch all the movies and shows on my tv instead of my computer screen, which is a lot smaller (obviously). I'm just really annoyed that you have to get the gold membership to activate and use the viaplay app (or whatever it's called) and the same would apply if I got a PS3 (only the xbox thing is a bit cheaper)
I've read books this week! I'm super proud of myself. :D I just finished Deep Secret by Diana Wynne Jones and it was pretty great. I really like her style. This was an older book by her, but you can tell in a lot of her books that she's really into the idea of parallel universes and a lot of her characters universe hop (I think Howl's Moving Castle is the most famous)
omg look at the cover photo though. I was pretty sure this book had been written in the 80's or something, but nope 1997... was the fashion really that bad back then?
Then I read this Stat Trek book called the IDIC epidemic, and wow I googled it so I could post the cover page, which is kind of ridiculous and it seems you can read it for free on google books, or whatever it's supposed to be called. Anyway the point was that it was a really well written and thought out book, I was really positively surprised. Also it had a Klingon original character, who was central to the plot and I really enjoyed reading about him (especially because I don't really know that much about the Klingons, as they aren't really fleshed out in TOS, and nevermind the reboot universe)
(I don't know why Spock is so central in the cover, when he's not even the main character. [can you guess though why I originally bought it?] Heh I have two other books about Spock that I got from the same second hand bookstore while I was in the States, I'm going to read those next)
I think I had almost forgotten how much I like actual books, because let's be honest I mostly just read fic these days. Maybe I can keep this up this summer and read all the books I have that I haven't even started, or that are lying about half-finished.
