I am clearly very sick of living with my parents.
It would explain why I am suddenly all in need to go back to school.
Here's my logical thinking on the topic (bear with me.)
1. I could linger on in Mum and Dad's house for another year, but I would be more unhappy than I am now, and no guaranteeing that I'm getting out anytime soon.
2. I could try to survive on my savings, but I would last about ten months to a year and be back here again completely broke this time.
3. I need experience in a public library. I'm not going to get that here. I'm 15 minutes out of town with no money and our library here is small. I have to go somewhere else.
4. So, I can go back to school again, this time getting a Bachelor's in History with a teaching emphasis (and possibly a minor in Library Media Specialist.) There are several different kinds of libraries in the world; right now I'm very qualified for college libraries and I need more experience in a public library (even volunteering would be better than nothing). I can't currently work at elementary or high schools because I need an education degree, and I can't work at a museum or archive place because I don't have a history degree.
The BA in history with teaching emphasis covers both-I won't teach with it, but I'd have those extra qualifications to apply for more jobs in my field. I will also then spend my spare time (what remains of it) volunteering a a public library to gain the experience I need, making me more qualified for that (and hopefully scoring a job when they see how awesome I am.)
One can hope that I come out of this with enough qualifications to get me hired in pretty much any library in the world.
I'm looking at two schools- Eau Claire (yes, I know. Been there, done that, graduated and everything) and Superior. Both have the public library within walking distance of the campus. I wouldn't have to take Gen Eds again, so I would take what I needed to take and no more. Financial aid would support me again until I found something either in school or out of it, but I could try to get hired in either a different department at Eau Claire (circulation didn't go so well the last time) or at the library in Superior.
So, that's the plan. I'm waiting on an e-mail from Superior on Monday and then I have to start applying already. Unless something else comes through, I'll move out in May and start school again in September.
Here we go again...

Round and Round We Go
Not much going on with me at the moment. The staffing company I'm signed up with has a potential two-month job in Rhinelander (meaning I'd stay here at home and work. No point in moving out for two months.) At the moment it doesn't appear like I got the one in Wausau (least that was what it sounded like) so the waiting begins again.
I posted new ideas on the Reichenbach Theories entry from January 31st (I'm not going to repost the entry every time I have an idea. I'll repost the whole mess when the elusive Series the Third of Sherlock actually bothers to show up (six months at the earliest till Watson socks Sherlock for being gone three years.) Just look up Reichenbach or something and you can find the entry with the new additions (it wasn't much; speculation on the diamond that Moriarty used to break into the glass at the Tower of London and the fact that Sherlock has to know where Moriarty has been the last few months thanks to the discussion on the roof.)
I'm watching Supernatural and contemplating breakfast for myself. I cooked a massive dinner yesterday almost single-handed-turkey, rolls, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole- and the leftovers were immense. We're having leftovers tonight because there's so much of it. But there's no reason why I can't have some for breakfast.
I'm going to raid the fridge.

Merlin Series 5, Episode 3: Uther Bangs Around Some Shelves
Merlin Series 5 Episode 3
Uther Comes Back From the Dead
Pros: Uther being Mr. Malevolent.
Cons: Feels fairly stale.
SPOILER LINE
Merlin and Arthur save an old woman from burning, only for her to die off two minutes later. Before she snuffs it, however, she gives Arthur a horn that summons the dead.
Give him a toy, and what does he do with it? Merlin should have taken the blasted thing away from him...
Arthur, being Arthur, wants to have a chat with dear old dead Dad. So he does whatever Gaius said to do (stupid), blows the little horn (stupider), and walks on through to have a visit with Uther (this kind of risky behavior always happens with him. Seriously. No wonder he and Merlin deserve each other.)
But Uther doesn't give him Christmas cards or a cake for visiting. In fact, he's downright bloody mean. He criticises everything Arthur has done the last three years since his dad was offed-marry Gwen, hire non-nobility for the Knights, the Round Table, being NICE to the citizens of Camelot, saving old women from burning...)
Uther says he still loves Arthur, which was always true even when Uther was being a complete dick to everyone else. Even when he locked him in the dungeons, he was doing it out of love for Arthur's own well-being, even when we all thought he was being a complete ass.
Arthur leaves the dead lands and goes home slightly depressed...and that's when trouble begins.
To be frank, it's not a lot of trouble. Poltergeisty. Mostly property damage. Some slammed doors, windows, and a bunch of shelves knocked over. He breaks the chandelier above the Round Table. Shoulder wound for Percy (lots of screen time for lovely muscled Percy and not much for everyone else but Leon), and head wounds for Arthur and Guinevere both (I remarked they had matching concussions along with everything else going on.) Gwen has a bit of smoke inhalation, too, and Merlin got spears through his coat.
It's actually sort of pathetic and I wish Uther had really bonked someone, but apparently 45 minutes and the fact this is a children's show means minor damage all around. And the guards finally had a week off from being murdered all the time or knocked out so someone could escape from jail again.
I do like how Arthur isn't as big an idiot as Uther, actually sees reason after Gwen gets concussed, and actually wants to fix the problem rather than make it worse.
The solution to get rid of Uther means a slightly comic moment where Merlin and Arthur have to drink nasty potion, but Gaius SHOULD have sternly reminded the two of them that if they want to let dead people out to knock around people and things, then they should DAMN well suck it up and drink the potion to be able to get rid of him.
So they drink the potion (it helps them see him.)
Merlin finds him first. And that's when Uther finds out he has magic. Of course this pisses him off most extremely. A SORCERER by his SON all this TIME? GETTTTTT HIIIIIIIIMMMMM...
Arthur finally decides he doesn't really need Dad's approval and banishes the old fool back to the dead, just as he screams that Merlin has m....
Yup. Cut him off mid-Big Humongous Reveal of the Century. This has happened so much I didn't even bother swearing anymore when it did. Sigh.
I don't see how this aids the overall plot any. Morgana's not going to be messing around with the horn since it's going into the Camelot vaults and won't come out again (and why would she summon Uther, anyway? She hates the man.) Unless she can get in another way and Uther is urgently trying to get through, there's no point to this.
Uther almost blowing Merlin's cover is the same old shite, different week. Come on. How many bad guys have been knocked off, blown up, or taken out with the knowledge that Merlin has magic and the ability to hand it to Uther or Arthur at any moment? Old hat. Boring. Play another card. Unless Arthur calls Merlin on it in the near future or unless you're planning on Uther busting through and wooshing it into someone's ear, not letting him finish the word 'magic' felt like the same old retread.
I don't particularly like the lack of apparent respect Arthur has for Merlin. This had better change fast. Merlin has proved himself a worthy friend and for heaven's sake, give him some credit, Arthur. Even without the knowledge of magic, who's with Arthur on his hunts more often than anyone else? Merlin. Who is at his side nearly 24-7? Merlin. Who does Arthur talk to more than anyone else about things he won't discuss even with Gwen? Merlin. Merlin is his closest and truest friend and he should bloody respect him already.
Next week: Mithian shows up and gets sick, Morgana gets banged (into a wall. Hopefully it's Merlin killing her again, and this time for permanent.) There's some fighting.
Really kind of silently hoping (not much, but some) that Morgana finds out Merlin has magic in next week's episode and gets all mad and angry and eye-flashy and stalky. You know. When she's really plotting and really angry, she walks like she's moving in on her prey.
Eh. Merlin will kill her anyway. Again.

Bec

Arthur's Bane Review
My take on the recent Merlin two-parter. There are spoilers.
SPOILER LINE
Arthur's Bane 1 and 2
I wasn't going to do a review for Merlin this year since I didn't do one for Doctor Who at all, but these two episodes...well...
PROS: Shirtless Percy, Gwaine, and others. Merlin's snarky.
CONS: What have they been growing in the caves at Ysmir?
Let's break it down into people, shall we?
Morgana: Three years have passed since she was "mortally" wounded. She's lost none of her bitchy, but taking over a whole abandoned castle and digging pits in the mud for three years is a tad bit wacky. That the thing she's looking for doesn't want to be found never seems to occur to her, nor apparently does the idea to give up and try another artifact.
I'm getting a little tired of the writers conveniently stabbing, bashing, or otherwise apparently killing off Morgana and then she miraculously reappears. This is about the fourth time (and the second in three episodes) and it gets old fast. Just have Mordred say no, OK?
I strongly dislike that Arthur gets to ask her why she's become such a nasty little person and all we get in answer is that Uther taught her hatred well. Come on, writers. She's monologuing like Dr. Octavius here-can we PLEASE get a better explanation than that? She could have snarled a meaning to her sudden nasty instead of giving Arthur ANOTHER concussion.
Also Arthur's reiteration that they're brother and sister isn't all that necessary, but Morgana consistently denying that Uther was her dad is getting a little old. He's her bio-father and I'm thinking she should really get over it.
Aithusa: I have no idea what's going on here. He's mute, so that would mean that Merlin can talk at him but the dragon can't talk back. Maybe he hasn't gotten his voice yet, maybe he lost it by hanging out with Morgana, or maybe he was born that way. Did Kilgarrah kick him out of the nest or did he leave? And how in bloody hell did Morgana find out his name if he's supposed to be MUTE???
After a rewatch of Merlin and Aithusa's interaction, I think he must have had his voice taken from him in some manner, because Merlin seems to realize there's some form of damage to Aithusa's voice. Maybe Kilgarrah and Aithusa had a falling out and Kilgarrah injured him so that he can't use his voice, thereby making him a pet to Morgana and not much else.
Arthur: Same old Arthur, same old story. Hasn't really changed in three years-still mildly arrogant and still doesn't listen to Merlin. He's still loyal to his men and a pain in the arse, but him and Merlin's banter was hilarious if you were able to catch some of it-Merlin has never been one to hold back on insulting Arthur at every turn and Arthur gives it right back to him.
Gaius: Barely here, but still doing his thing. I'm not predicting his death this year because they haven't done in four years and they ain't gonna do it now (famous last words.)
Merlin: Appears to be growing tired of Arthur not listening to him (surprise) and seems to be bursting to tell him that he's magical. Recall the moment at the beginning of Season 3 where Morgana was in the basement of Camelot calling up eternal fighting skeletons and you got the sense that Merlin was about to tell her everything but he balked? I had that feeling for the whole hour and a half these episodes were going on. He's also rasher with the magic in front of Arthur-he's not fearing his own demise as much as he used to, but then again Uther's been dead three years.
The whole predicted Arthur death thing is awful, yes, and Merlin's well aware that he needs to keep his fingers out of the Mordred-Arthur relationship and let the thing play out. Of course Arthur's his own worst enemy-he always has been in the past. Despite Merlin's attempts to protect him, Arthur has always walked head held high into danger and trouble, and even if Merlin told him to run if Mordred comes after you with a sword in his hand and an angry glint in his eyes, Arthur would see the thing as a challenge, fight Mordred, and get stabbed anyway. Uther created his own demise by denouncing magic and thereby pushing Morgana out, infuriating her and eventually leading her to kill him. He didn't know it would lead to that, but it did. In the same way, Arthur will unwittingly do something stupid and blind and unknowingly piss Mordred off, thereby sealing his fate at Camlann (if we're sticking to the legend here.)
I keep thinking that either Mordred has a bigger plan and he's lying his arse off, or he's actually really nice (ha ha) and Merlin's going to accidentally turn him into the bad guy by telling him too much. Plot will tell. I can't believe the writers would conveniently forget the fact that Mordred swore he'd never forgive Merlin for his betrayal, so I'm suspecting Mordred has a plan to get to Arthur by any means necessary.
Guinevere!-Looked like she'd gotten some of Uther's nasty in episode 1, but then the writers backtracked and made it look like Gwen was plotting. Somehow I think that's going to backfire in her face someday. They let the girl go pretty blatantly and she wasn't in a good mood because her dad had been killed off, and she's magical. Usually that means trouble.
In any case, Gwen was fairly nasty this time around and I was kind of surprised on a couple of counts-A) Arthur's actually given her some power and influence-he didn't have to. She's also a member of the Round Table and is in on secret meetings and the like. Betcha Igraine didn't get all that when she married Uther. B) Gwen's typical reaction in the old days was to be nice. Not anymore, not in front of the treasonous. Queen Gwen is a meanie and I would adore seeing her and Morgana meeting now-what a battle of wills that would be.
The See-Through Elfy Alien Thing With Smoker Voice: I had a hard time not laughing at the creature design on this one. This show has had some odd looking creatures (the chimaera that wasn't a chimaera but a lizard from Primeval, and the unicorn that looked like a horse dressing up for a Halloween party) but the Diamr has to take the cake. There's suspending my disbelief but even I couldn't go there with this-too out there even for me.
That's my review of Arthur's Bane 1 and 2. Next week: Uther comes back from the dead as a poltergeist. Let's hope he comes after Morgana...

Muse Tickets Redux
Here I am, five minutes from ten, sitting and waiting for Ticketmaster to let me buy Muse tickets.
After the hell I went through last tour trying and failing to get to a Muse concert, I am truly hoping I don't move too far away in the next five months, or I'll be in the panic station (Muse joke. Ignore me. Really.)
Four minutes to go...if I get this excited about buying the stupid ticket, how utterly off the wall am I gonna be on the night?
Three minutes. Good God, that clock is slow.
Two minutes. I'm shaking like a stupid leaf right now. This excitement is preposterous. I'm buying TICKETS. FOR A MUSE CONCERT.
One minute. Oh, hell. Don't let the power go out now...please...
Ta,
Bec

Internet Was Down
So my computer went out two Saturdays ago. The parents computer went out on Sunday. My computer mysteriously came back on Monday (suddenly it could find the operating system it lost.) The Internet seemed to have gone with it, no matter what I tried to do.
Today we got the broadband back at least, but the wireless is down because their computer is broken and I cannot fix it. One out of three ain't bad.
Also, I broke my cell phone about the same time because I whipped it down the stairs in the pocket of my jeans. They had barely left my hand when I realized the phone had taken flight with them...and there was nothing I could do to stop it from falling. The poor thing broke to pieces on the basement floor. The good news was that I broke it on a week when the Tracfones were on sale. I have a shiny, new cell phone that I can now text on, because I couldn't at all with the last one.
I may have a job; I'll know as early as tomorrow.
Muse tickets for Minneapolis in March go on sale Saturday (glee glee glee) so I might go. We have to talk about these things.
I have written three poems and I have not typed up any of them, but I'm working on it.
Kitty is sleeping in the bedroom, not on one of the two shelves we gave him or the two beds he now owns, but in the middle of the bed on the blanket Mom said he could have half-custody of (oh ha.)
What else is happening? The new Muse CD is good; I've been listening to it (Panic Station's been playing nonstop in my head for three days at least.)
Rewatched Baskerville and realized Moriarty had the diamond in the cell with him (scratched Sherlock's name on the mirror.) Wonder how he got that in there without Mycroft's goons noticing??? Wonder if Mycroft realized it?
