Ugh...

'Tis the season. Nasty sore throat, drainage (with accompanying earaches), fever (with sweats. Lovely)... yea!

In other news, school seems to be going well. I'm tearing through Geisha, A Life. Since I'm mostly bedridden, reading is an easy task.

I also discovered that I like Peter Gabriel's solo stuff more than Phil Collins'. Does that make me a good Genesis fan? 8D

Nothing much else to say. I leave you, wondering if my sore throat is actually strep throat...

Hello, Academy Awards?

...the Romance slideshow?

YOU FAIL.

YOU F***IN' FAIL.

You have reached a level of fail that didn't exist until now.

It's been ages!

Hello thar everyone. It's been a while, I'm afraid. Things have been getting very busy. I complained a lot about not having time to read. Well, no wonder! I've been reading a Shakespeare play every week, learning music theory (which is hard, especially if you're not well-versed in math), critiquing and reading non-fiction, and learning about the Victorian era. So, I've been a busy bee indeed! Yikes, I rhymed. Badly.

Just finished reading A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray. It was a wonderful read, but due to restraining monies, I may have to wait a while to read the last two. Dangit...

And a happy birthday to one of my favorite writers, Richard Matheson! To celebrate, I'm reading a short story collection of his. So far, good stuff.

I may update only once a week. That is, unless I can get a better handle on my time. I leave you, watching TV, when I could be reading more books...

Oh my God, yea!

Lacuna Coil is releasing a new album this year too!

Let's see, so far, that's Editors... Mute Math... Vienna Teng... Guster...

Music, for now, will suck a little less...

Radiohead kicks ass... as usual.

They pwned the Grammys.

Check out their performance.

Some not-so-surprising things I learned today

I tried, but honestly, I have better things to do. I can't finish New Moon. If I wanted to hear someone bitch, I would record myself and loop it.

I haven't read all that much lately. I blame class readings and my renewed interest in Fallout 3.

No writing yet. I want to, but I have to actually do it.

I love Netflix, but can I afford to keep a subscription? Well, of course.

I think I shouldn't be ashamed of the fact that I have a lot of unread books. Sure, buying twenty new ones isn't going to help, but it's okay to buy a few new ones. As long as I read them.

BTW, I may not post as often. Possibly twice or once a week, I'm not sure. So, it's not that I'm abandoning this, but I want to minimize my Internet usage.

I leave you, wondering why I'm beginning to be forgetful...
