kbkI feel like I can feel the drugs draining out of me. Must remember to take them tonight.
Laptop of sororal-unit has not Firefox, afai can see. Is very disconcerting.
Today there were people, who seemed nice enough. And cats, who were bouncy and only a bit scratchy. And then film - POTC2 - which was all right. And much with the pretty.
And I am reading this book but it is killing me. It is full of misunderstandings. It makes me want to smack people's heads together. Which is a bit crap, because I know that such things are the stuff of life and also dramatic tension, and are generally considered to some extent necessary as part of narrative, but this book is just taking it too far. It has, like, at least five different relationships in it - and most of the characters are presented solely in context of their romantic relationships - and they. argh. e.g. Thinks the male, "I will be romantic yet practical and get a takeaway so the girlfriend does not have to cook." Thinks the girlfriend, "I will cook us a nice romantic meal instead of having a dreary takeaway." *rolls eyes* But I have now suffered through sufficient of it that I have to finish reading it. Or maybe my problem is that the central character is a writer who lives in a fantasy world. Um.
oh god I really should sleep now, I only got a few hours last night and I have to make a decision about travelling back and I would headdesk if I wasn't sitting-on-sofa-with-laptop.
sigh.
