Recap 2
Let's get up to speed, shall we?
Saturday was a really rather wonderful day: I slept in late, read a really rather excelent book, ate the best apples I'd eaten all year, and saw Helen. What more could a guy want? :P
Okay, so maybe those need some elaboration...
The book was Captain Corelli's Mandolin (#16), and was definately one of the best ( Read more... )

I've tried to read Captain Corelli... but failed. Must. Try. Harder, methinks :-)

I really enjoyed it; somehow the huge number of perspecitives didn't get ridiculously confusing, probably because for the most part they're in very different locations, although working out who they were was sometimes slightly difficult...

As much fun as such utter pretentiousness is, I'd much rather be flying sleeping doing other things... :D

1) Captain Corelli's Mandolin is definitely going on my to-read list;
2) I am allergic to apples. But I love them. *weeps*
3) have you heard about how I really, really, really want to come to your school?
4) so, hang on, your mother threatened to ground you because you weren't leaving the house early enough. Even though you arrive at school on time. ... I don't get it. (I'm late for school on a regular basis & it's my mother's fault, which is probably the opposite situation.)

Hey, it's only, uh, 1,123 words... :P
1) If I'm right, I think you'd love it, because we seem to have very similar tastes and it is really rather marvellous - but then I'm one of those people who thinks that everyone will love their favourate books... :P
2) :S Apples are wonderful things - not only are they my comfort food, but they are also what I eat when I'm happy, and also when I'm hungry. :P When I had my braces, the thing I missed most was the apples, because they were awkward; we're now back to the stage where my parents will take the number of bags of apples I can eat and double it when they're at the supermarket. I have a cousin who is allergic to the things; from when he was on holiday with us, I can imagine that it's really not fun ( ... )

... Some of my SHORT STORIES are about that long. :PP

Haha, well -- I'm one of those people who thinks that everyone should (or, you know, must) love their favourite books.
Bah, all of that apple-talk is making me jealous. My comfort food is, um, toast with peanut butter. There's a very specific way I have to make it, too -- butter it, toast it until it's just right, and spread a layer of peanut butter (smooth, not crunchy) of a certain thickness, at just the right time. I suspect that your comfort food is healthier than mine, in more ways than one.

I've only ever finished one. :( All the others either refuse to finish themselves or simply don't want to be written down at all, and prefer to exist only in oral form...:(

Ritual is very important. In the strangest places; but very important none the less...
