"hangovers" and pleasure reading...
Then I woke up this morning me head felt like a stuffed red pepper. I felt like I got both hangovers and a heavy and evil cold. Now I knew I couldn't possibly have a hangover as the drinking last night had only included a single beer and a soda and bucket loads of steaming hot tea, so my discomfort had to be a bad cold - properly from wearing to thin a coat last night.
Creeping out of bed, felling miserable I ended up with a muffin, tea and the book I borrowed from Simon Saturday, I ended up on the sofa. (Please excuse the extremely long sentences tonight - I just fell like writing as I think - in long flows) The book turned out to be pretty damn good - and I shouldn't really be surprised as both JC and Simon (who both have an exalent taste in books) has insured me that it wound. And it is not like I haven't read Neil Gaiman before, cause I have and I liked it before. So there is really no reason at all for me to be baffled by how good the book was, but well - I guess one can all ways get amazed by talent then it slap one in the face. And now you are thinking will she ever tell what book she read? And well I better - it is not nice to keep people on tenterhooks (love that expression by the way) is it? Well the book was Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman (Who also wrote Neverwhere and American Gods). If you don't know the man, then you are missing out on something really good and you should get your self a copy of one of his books - they are danm good. He does not only writes so you want to quote him to no end. He also let the language grow and blossom. At the same time his plots hold you enthralled and makes you turn the next page just to see how the story will go from here, to see which strange path he will take you down next. I really loves his take on the supernatural, on gods and on magic - it is so utterly unique and fascinating. We see what we see not because it is so but because we expect it to be so. Everyday 5000 people experience a one-in-a-million even - isn't that a fascinating thought?
Well enogh about good books I am sure you want to hear how the Halloween party went as well. Well I was stunted by how many people that showed up - really we were about twice as many as I had imagined as a result where were no my any means room in our flat. So people ended up standing in the kitchen and out on the balcony. It ended up being more crowed and loud then I normally like a party. It was fun and it was nice seeing people - don't get me wrong, but I like small crowds so much better then large ones. But everyone seemed to have a good time or so they tell me ;) so I guess it was a good party. Our muffins turned out great btw.
I better get going - I want to order some books from the uni library tonight so I better do it while I am still awake
