It's so hot over here, i don't even want to step outside ~_~  It's good to know that starting this thrusday, temperature might climb down dramatically (67 degrees being the high temp).  I think the Weather Channel is lying, but just the thought of it keeps me cool so i won't complain.

I must say again, Life of Pi is such a good book!! I've read up to little more than half of the book, with my reading speed somehow speeding up(normaly, i read english books very slow.) Well, that's how entertaining the book is.  Especially when you reach the 2nd part...when the main character, Pi, gets stranded in the middle of the Pacific on a 27feet life boat along with an adult Bengal tiger(after surviving the ship wreck).  Of course, the 1st part is good too, but the thrill(and the main part of the story) kicks in from the 2nd part. Yann Martel (the author) is no doubt one of the best story tellers i've come across to.  I keep on forgetting that this book is a fiction.

Er...I cited below from the same book, because i thought it was cool.

"The reason death sticks so closely to life isn't biological necessity--it's envy.  Life is so beeautiful that that death has fallen in love with it, a jealous, possessive love that grabs at what it can.  But life leaps over oblivion lightly, losing only a thing or two of no importance , and gloom is but the passing shadow of a cloud"

And that is so true throughout this novel.

...I missed reading a manga.  Especially Gintama...  I guess I should go out to city one day and buy it.
