The winds of change are always blowing*

[bending_sickle]

I went to two bike shops today and thus got an estimate of what my bike's worth. I've got one guy interested in buying it, so we'll see how my haggling skills go on Saturday. I also think I've got someone interested in my wardrobe, which is awesome. I went to the Hague for a wander about and to see what I could get for some second-hand books, but they only offered fifty cents more than in Leiden, so I'll just get rid of them all here. In less awesome news, the girl who was going to take my room has decided against it at the last minute, so it's back to the drawing board with that.

Blowing up a twin-sized air mattress without a pump leads to tired lungs and jaw ache and leaves me desperate to make the joke of, "Longest. Blow job. Ever," because I'm just fancy that way.

Parents coming in tomorrow night, so the weekend will be spent in a flurry of activity, packing and panicking. Whoot.

ETA: Been watching Supernatural videos and just realized something blatantly obvious in the symbolism department. In the Green Room in Lucifer Rising, Dean tips a small statue of an angel off a shelf. (Exhibit A and Exhibit B) In other words, an angel falls by Dean's hand. Oh Cas...

Another reason I love that detail is that it reminds me of Spike in Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Angel: in one scene of an episode I can't recall, he turns a small statue of an angel around, so it's facing the wall, away from him.

ETA2: Spike's angel-moment is from BtVS 7x06, "Him" and looks a bit like this. (Not remembering was really bugging me.)
