chaucerettescs	6:12a	Maine : Stephen King Why, yes, I am still awake... augh... Saw Sherlock Holmes with Nick last night. I actually loved it. I promised myself I wouldn't come out of there shipping Holmes/Watson, but, uh... no good. ...They made it really hard, okay!? A good chunk of the plot is Holmes all hurt and jealous that Watson's leaving him to get married and their utterly old couple-ish, yet adorable bickering. Hee, everytime Watson did something badass Nick and I would whisper "Look! A clue!" "That's not a clue, Watson. That's your jar of jam." and giggle like a pair of twats. Slashiness, silliness and a good soundtrack... that's all I need, really. EDIT: GURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRL lol, oh, Robert... and lol @ Plunket and the movie execs pissing their pants Whoo, I am effing burning through books this week, holy crap: ( IT & Dolores Claiborne by Stephen King ) Next time... a continuing tour of New England with Thornton Wilder's Our Town and the works of Shirley Jackson Current Mood: awake (4 Comments |Comment on this)

chaucerettescs	7:26p	Michigan : Middlesex Before I begin this, I'd like to have a tiny rant, specifically on my beef with Oprah Winfrey. Apart from the fact that I can't help but find it a little creepy anytime people en masse take a celebrity's word as gospel and aside from the fact I found her comment about inner city kids preferring an iPod to a top of the line school very condescending, my problem with Oprah is that she can't seem to keep her fucking stickers off my books. A shallow complaint? Possibly. But as stickers irritate me anyway, particularly ones on papergoods, particularly the hellishly gluey kind the Oprah Bookclub uses, I needed a rant. I prefer not having to take a hairdryer to a book before I read it, is all. That, and everytime I see one of those stickers, I think "Oh, look, Oprah read this book" and, somewhere inside me, a tiny Christian Bale says "Ohhhhhhh, goooood for you." That may be rich for someone about to write a quasi book review, but then you don't see me slapping my name on other people's books. I don't even want to get started on publishers who print little blurbs about bookclubs or "Now a Major Motion Picture!" right into the cover. I'm too much of an aesteticist when it comes to books, I think. [/venting] ( Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides ) I think I'm going to do one of these for each of the books I read, partly because I have no English classes this semester and that really depresses me. This will give me a chance to talk about books, even if I'm just rambling to myself. Next time: Stephen King's Maine Current Mood: blah (10 Comments |Comment on this)

chaucerettescs	5:35p	Holy Balls, it's New Year's Er... HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVE TO EVERYONE ON THIS SIDE OF WORLD! HAPPY NEW YEAR'S DAY TO THE OTHER HALF OF THE GLOBE, INCLUDING THE WONDERFUL LOLSTRALIANS! HAPPY SILVESTER TO SKYLER AND KATELYN... UNLESS YOU'VE MOVED ON TO SPAIN ALREADY, IN WHICH CASE HAPPY NOCHEVIEJA! I'm very bewildered that it's already New Year's Eve. Seriously, we just had New Year's Eve. With the glittery hats and popsicle sticks at Leah's? No way was that a year ago. There's sadly no party this year. I was waiting to see if the Grand Rapids thing was a go... and then nothing happened and then mum and I got food poisoning and then it was New Year's, lol.

chaucerettescs	3:25a	50 Books, 1 Year Challenge I might as well post this now, as there's no way I'll have finished Rebecca by tomorrow night in time to add it: ( Title List for 50books1year challenge: GOAL MET ) ( Challenge for 2010, or, How I'm going to End Up Giving Myself a Nervous Breakdown ) I have a ton more stuff to post, but I've been in quite the depressed funk lately. I went to an ENT, who just prescribed me Sudafed. It has been helping loosen up my Eustachian Tubes, but it makes me jittery (normal side effect) and very nervous (not normal). This combined with a serious bout of depression (one of those "where is my life going?" kind of things) and a very upset stomach (mom's sick too; she's much worse than I am, actually) is making for a not-so-pretty-picture. I'll probably post the other stuff later. New Year's Resolutions: *Write more *Try to worry less *Watch more old movies *Stop buying copies of books you already have just because the cover is really awesome *Survive next semester while earning best grades possible *Give up Pepsi *Find cure for crap ears *Lose 15 lb *Define a career path *Complete 50 state challenge *Stop underestimating own abilities Current Mood: depressed (4 Comments |Comment on this)
