Waiting and wasting time.
Read several volumes' worth of Nodame Cantabile again yesterday, and I think I fell asleep pretty early which is just sad. But in any case, I've gotten past the part where the anime stops, so it's all new territory from here on in. Though nothing has happened just yet which has elicited much of a reaction -- so far it has mostly been build-up to an elusive something.
As for the Welsh book (BSotMS) I'm reading... Welsh really has a talent for making you sympathize with the antihero protagonist. Which, of course, he deftly does in all the books I've read by him. I barely even care for the more traditionally "nice" guy - the pseudo-rival - a much more sympathetic character than is the protagonist.
The protagonists of these novels aren't much different from one another, and it's likely that it's Welsh's voice for the young, working class Scots coming through more than the character's own (though there are some differences between Mark Renton, from Trainspotting, and Danny Skinner, the protagonist of this book). I do so enjoy the elements of Welsh's writing that are so him.
