(no subject)
i've been sortof better
ate quite a lot today i've been starving i think my tummy should be okay now tho i still feel nauseous often but it isn't too unbearable i'm just hungry as hell i feel better when i eat
shame i have to take these kilograms back to feel better but then when everything is stable i'll do a reasonable diet to get a bit thinner
ah life is complicated
i feel quite strange these days
probably cause i'm ill
i'm so exuberant when i'm ill but only to myself it's like it's such a big big deal to me to be ill, physically, i always take it so seriously and i get really scared about how it could the symptoms of something really serious cause some illnesses develop and you don't even notice it and i never go to the doctor ever
i s'pose being healthy is really reassuring it's like it's one of those rare only things that can work right
ah i'm really happy about going to paris tomorrow and i can't wait to see sarah god i missed her and see everybody else probably for the last time in a looong time it's not like they're close friends or anything but they're highschool buddies and i really had really really good times with them and that's important and it's a huge pleasure seeing them and knowing you'll keep in touch even if it's only once a year i wanna see if matthew becomes a great economist like his dad and if he does marry a mormon girl so on and if everything goes right i should be invited at his wedding and also camille's, which is all to look very much forward to
watched a fawlty towers episode which made me laugh but not immediately cause i'm not used to the characters yet but i'm already in love with basil and laughed a lot
i'm so happy about going to london
i'm pretty damn lucky, in one month i did/am gonna do barcelona-brussels-paris-brussels-london, i think i'm lucky i should be grateful
but coming back to brussels for good will be crap
i'll have one week left of vacation and i'll have to work a lot because i really have a lot of homework
sarah's book recommendation list yay :
--The Trial by Franz Kafka (also take a look at the original german version--it's magnificent).
--Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh (If you don't read it all, at least read the first chapter titled "Et in Arcadia Ego".)
--the poem El Desdichado de Nerval...which you probably already know.
--The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne.
--the Collected Poems of Philip Larkin
--Lady Chatterley's Lover by DH Lawrence (not exactly transcendental, but a classic reference of high erotica).
--La Chute d'Albert Camus
--Alcools de Guillaume Apollinaire
--A Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
--Even Cowgirls get the Blues by Tom Robbins (hilarious crunchy grenola 70's trip fest about having big thumbs)
--The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan (Not life-changing, but the creme de la creme of American Chinese sob-stories, and really fun to read).
--Boyhood by John Maxwell Coetzee
--Also, try to get hold of an audio recording of the Canterbury Tales by Chaucer read in Middle English...it sounds like dutch.
...And there's much more where that came from...
