Break feels good.

I'm spending an equal amount of time in my own head and out in the sunshine. Southern California is being itself again - when I got into my car on my way back from a coffee shop this morning, I couldn't touch the steering wheel without frying myself; I can't remember the last time that happened. I just hope this lasts, because I so dearly miss going down to the beach at night - up until now it's been far too frosty. And as much as I adore cold weather, there's something to be said for tank tops and the sun on your back.

I finally get to read my books! My books, not the headache-inducing volumes shoved at me in class. I can't get very far into God in the Dock (C.S. Lewis's essays on theology and ethics) without needing my pen at hand to annotate. I'm also quite enjoying Stephenie Meyer's Eclipse, though reading something so breezy and straightforward after slogging through Ulysses for the past three weeks is... disconcerting. Then there's The Ordering of Love, which collects all of Madeleine L'Engle's poetry - food for my soul.

Also. I just watched the first episode of Life on Mars. Loved it, through and through. I think I finally understand the fascination with John Simm. Although, I'm the type of person that falls in love with characters, not actors, so I guess Sam Tyler is what it took.

I've been wanting to see this show ever since bakednudel began posting about it years ago - but with no DVDs available in America, and no decent 'Net connection at school, acquiring it proved no easy task.

Thanks to certain f-listers for keeping it on my mind.

Anyway. Very soon, I'm off to Pasadena to take a closer look at all the lovely things on my Crate & Barrel registry. Whee! Then, it's dinner with a couple of old high school friends.

The only thing remotely distressing me at the moment is the knowledge that this week is already halfway over.
