Feeling sluggish today, lethargic. Played some Katamari Damacy for the distraction and it worked well for the most part. Took a bunch of books back to the library and started in on Stardust. It's been in my pile for several months now, but I felt like waiting for some reason. It was as if I was saving it for when I needed it, and I certainly felt ( Read more... )

Right, so classes, papers, exams...all done. Spent the last week in London visiting my mom and friends. Didn't have enough time to hang with everyone adequately, but I had weekend plans back home and I must find work on Monday lest I die on Toronto's streets.

Been wanting to read Robert J. Sawyer's Parallax trilogy for a while now, but apparently ( Read more... )

I was especially intrigued by the pro-Israel protesters who were trying to debate Middle-Eastern politics with me. These are the folks who are throwing newspapers in the garbage because of an ( Read more... )

Exam Break this week. Wee.
Have to finish a take-home exam for this evening and then prepare for a sit-down exam on Roman history Saturday morning. It expect it to be less than pleasant. If I can just roll my way through these next three months, I will be a happy man.

Finished American Gods late last night. Late. The mind experiences weird things upon the completion of one of Gaiman's works. The dark hour certainly does not play to your favour.

Dying yesterday and today. The process seems to be rather drawn out. The reaper man was sent envoys but my tricksy ways have confounded them all.

I do not have enough drugs in me to make me feel better; American Gods shall have to do in the meanwhile.

On the topic of Mr. Gaiman, my attempts to find a used copy of Fragile Things continue to yield poor ( Read more... )

Got back from seeing Coraline 3D this evening, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Different from the book (which I recently finished) but not in any way that detracted from the film. (Read: Not like LotR: The Two Towers!) The "Real D" 3D visual was definitely fun, but it's nice that it didn't add anything can't-do-without. If I pick it up on DVD, I won't ( Read more... )
