Justifiable use of icon! Duh duh duh!

A month or so ago I wrote a short story (had to be less than 3000 words, which I am Not Good At) for a competition being run by a bookshop in the city. And today they had a little sign up in the window with the winners.

I came third! And I win a $50 voucher for the shop. Boooooks. I have my eye on Hilary Mantel's latest and the new John Berendt. It's about VENICE. If they make this one into a movie with John Cusack in it as well, I might just die happy.*

So yeah.

That's kinda nice.

(I'll stick the story itself up at

mercurial_wit if anyone wants to read it; Beth, this is the one with my Marcus character in it :D)

* Speaking of John Cusack movies - today I bought myself a post-exams treat even though I'm only 3/4 of the way there: DVD box of Being John Malkovich, Lost In Translation and Secretary for $24. I'm going to watch Secretary, make lentils and spinach for dinner and relaaaaax. Study for Human Bio can start tomorrow.

ETA: Story posted here.

And Jiiiii, you should see Secretary. If you haven't. Not least because the soundtrack is by Angelo Badalamenti.

Yesplz!

I'd read it *grins*

I need to see Secretary badly. I hear it's very good.

PS Caleb, re: your icon.

Rabbit and Jack Twist are currently in the ocean surrounding a deserted island, making out.

Just so you know.

:D!!1

Congrats on the third place. Good Luck on the final test of your first year!

I HATED Lost in Translation, it had maybe one bit that amused me despite the fact I have quite an appreciation for Japanese quirkiness. I keep wanting to see Being John Malkovich though.

WOOOOOOO congratulations! I will read as soon as I'm back from work! Now the world will do nothing but demand more and more from you... much like fandom, but still. Don't forget us now that you are Wealthy and Famous. *wipes away tears*

What do you mean, 'who is this??!'

Dude, how would I ever explain that? *stares at tiny siblings* GET OUT OF MY ROOM
