The Folk Keeper is a wonderfully dark and slightly spooky book about European faeries. It's by Franny Billingsley and is in the Young Adult collection at the library. I am nearly all the way through it. The main character has such useful powers, like being able to tell the time to the minute and having hair frow two inches a night.
I saw Kill Bill Vol 2 yesterday and I loved that. I'm not sure if I want to watch them back to back. It might be a bit too much hack and slash chop-socky gorey action for me. But in two parts I can handle it quite well thank you. There is a scene in the second one that I found very hard to deal with. I won't mention what it is here because it's quite a spoiler, but I was basically breathing deeply and saying to myself "It's not real, it's not real it's not real. It's not happening to me." Of course, this scene is the one that QT felt needed to be long and drawn out so you really *felt* it.
I found the rest of the movie to be funny and enjoyable and touching.
On Saturday I spent lots of money on Tupperware, but still not as much as Svend, so it's OK. Then a bunch of people came over for games. Doraemon killed Tweety in the library with a letter opener and then I won Trivial Pursuit. Hooray!
