Glitch and Speedbump

Reading Alice in Wonderland. Yes, life in reverse.
Soon i will read about Brer Rabbit and delve into the 8 o'clock bedtime tales.
(Blytons. sigh. Age 6-9= magic)

No actually our very own Alice was part of the DU II year Eng Lit syllabus.
Part of the Popular Fiction section.
I took Classical. (think Greek Mythology and the Mahabharata. Fabulous stuff)

So i figured 3 years (and counting) into the course... One should be able to 'get' the intricacies of the childrens book without being spoon fed. Right? Right?
So far (page 11) im at sea. Tempted to call up S (who DID take it up) and demand a thorough analysis. But i throttle the urge to punch in the digits and *sigh* open that pdf file once again.
Oh yes, now i'm downloading books.
Don't have the luxury of extra cash to afford otherwise.
(coffee dates over 3 months can take a life threatening toll)

(Finally)Finished Lolita.
Not as dirty and erotic as it started out to be.
Bearable almost.
Okay, good.
The thing is, i was driven to the ultimate desperate measure of plonking it in a place where i Knew that i Would read anything. Anything.
Even the instructions off a facewash cover.

But it didn't work for Mein Kampf.
At least not completely... but i Did get through 150 odd pages of it.
Sigh.
My struggles with literature.

Casually skipping past friend and i turning 21..... there are more 'fun-times' in store. v joins the oh-so-cool(and growing) gang by turning the huge 2-1 tomorrow. we may party tonight and then again, we may not. Time will tell.

As of now completely gripped by Twilight... borrowed it and now the days plan revolves completely around getting to the last page... verdict till page 173?
very girl-meets-vampire-and-sparks-light-up-the-sky.
not toooooo typical but enough to count as an engrossing read!
but the vampire girls all over seem to be swooning over (on the cover!!) SO does not match up to the one in my imagination. poof. bloody reality.



However, other pictures (wonderful wonderful google) seem to be a bit more flattering...

what say? i mean is that even the same person?
(very original superman, only without the inappropriate underwear above pant style.. *thanks the lord*)

Now i'm going to read some more and slump down on the bed for the bestest day ever (lazy lazy hours. bliss!)
oh and late birthday gifts include pink pj's that im going to be living in for the next week or so (thankooooo!) + pink hajmola's that ive stuffed into the prettiest glass bowl thing! (i know its meant for stones!!!:P)
so its time for the cosy falling-on-bed and lolling about...interrupted only for daydreaming....sigh.
Guess party-time can officially be redefined now :D
oh and ive been scribbling a lot on paper so thats my excuse for ignoring the blog...love it or leave it :)

ps-named the post after the date...just beee-cause :)

(II)Ps- The above post was a few hours ago.. Finished Twilight.. My extremely important opinion you beg for? Okay, here goes.. straight from the horses(!) mouth... Its good...well written in fact but lets put it this way, no one has to hold me down to prevent my ransacking a store to get hold of the sequel... in fact, im going to comfortably wait until Sw purchases it (and then borrow it) :)

Also, turns out i don't really have a thing for the main vampire (Edward)... at all!... the whole pale skin and cold lips were starting to get to me...really i mean... hardly a 'come hither' description. tch. what a waste of the hype :

However, before you chuck that book down the drain... im probably exaggerating... so hold on to that copy... to sum up "read it" :)

It would help if you like pale cold skin too....

I must be the least helpful critic around.
