On the bookwormy side, here are some things of interest:

* Twilight - Yes, that book, the chic-lit masquerading as an epic romantic fantasy. I know real fantasy fans will scoff at it, but I'm reading it to better understand what all the hype is about. I read about it on Amazon last year but didn't buy it because it looked so...well...suspicious ( Read more... )

How is everyone coping with the heat enjoying their summer? ^^;;; I've been downloading way too much mostly, although my summer classes have started already, so I guess that should keep me pretty occupied from now on. (I am more than a little apprehensive because I'm the only one from my school there so I'm a little...out of place...and also ( Read more... )

Things I've done since the last time I posted.

- Fall into poisonous fandoms which are beautiful but which I have no time for (that's looking at you, D.Grayman, and you, Fruits Basket).

Just finished reading The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer, and it's ABSOLUTE LOVE. I have been reading wonderful books lately, but this one just about beats all so far.

It's all gone, which makes me rather angsty and liable to clicking random stuff in my music folder and shifting my compy from place to place looking for some spark that isn't there. Trying too hard, lacking motivation, distraction, the nagging thought of things-to-do, etc, etc. It reminds me rather of Charlie (household pet, wrinkly, doesn't do ( Read more... )

It's raining! Post-summer-inspiration weather, but not very good news, because school starts on Wednesday. I weep tears of deepest sorrow - I think I've never felt quite so unwilling to go back to school, mostly because I'm afraid of the workload (also because I've been sleeping about nine hours every day the past three months, and I'm still ( Read more... )

I've been meaning to blabber about this for a while, so...
