28 September, 2008
Okay I know I haven't been blogging. I don't really have anything (I want) to say, so there's no point anyway. But I figured I'd better get in a post in September, just because I hate to miss a month.
Anyway I'm on my last few hours of my lovely recess break. Spent it watching Chuck in three days. I can't wait to watch season 2! I'm using all my willpower to not watch the episodes as they air in America, because the 1 week waits in between are just excruciating. Funnily, typing that made me want to watch episode 1 right now. Oh and not to mention, HEROES THREE!!!!!!! is airing right now. I already have the first episode on my computer. Just have to... resist... *twitch*
I also passed my final theory (finally! LOL) last Friday, and if all goes well I'll get my driving licence at the end of December. I can't wait to get my own set of wheels.
Been reading a lot of young adult fiction lately, and I've fallen in love with Sonya Hartnett. She writes absolutely beautifully. Her newest book, The Ghost's Child, had me bawling near the end. LOL. Just got two more of her books out from the library today. The good thing about YA Fiction is that the books are thin so they're easy to transport around. I really HATE hardcovers, since I do most of my reading on the go. :(
While we're on the subject of literature, I finally summoned up the courage to try Haruki Murakami, and was surprised to find that Kafka on the Shore was actually pretty good. I tried a collection of his short stories next, but I couldn't really get into it because I don't understand most of them. I returned it, but maybe I'll borrow it again to figure it out. I'm sure there's a deeper meaning to most of his stories anyway.
I find it interesting that two of the authors I like share an obsession with a particular animal. With Jonathan Carroll it's Bull Terriers; with Haruki Murakami it's cats. They're everywhere in his stories.
Mmmf. Sleepy. Presentation tomorrow. Shall work on it a bit more before I go to sleep.
