Bloody GR.

I give up. It wasn't such an interesting pic after all.

Last attempt.

How about now?

@#$%$*&! Bloody Photobucket.

Now?

Also, now I'm imagining you with your headphones on, your size queen monitor on, cherries in a bowl, blasting 'Eye of the Tiger', mumbling to yourself, and edi..."

Quite accurate.



And no. That's not a black & white pic. It's the study that's getting gradually black & white.

Thanks, Suz! :)

And don't remind me. I finished Life of Pi and thought I'd start a new one yesterday, since I would be doing the groceries alone. The only one available on my mp3 player was Message in a Bottle by Nicholas Sparks. It was so bad, I realised I was making actual disgusted sounds. I wasn't very successful in convincing the old lady in front of me in line that I wasn't deranged and that it was actually because of the audio book I was listening to.

Of course I can. Because I'm awesome. No guts, no glory. Eye of the tiger. Etcetera. (view spoiler)[<-lame attempt at self pep talk (hide spoiler)]

That as well! :)

Both?
Nah. I'll be fine.

Kate wrote: "No reading?! *pets*"

No, there'll be lots of reading. Only I won't be doing it for pleasure. Or, rather, there's pleasure in it, but it's work. I mean, kinda. It involves a deadline.

Gah. It's complicated?

Oh. Sorry to hear that, Marleen. :( How easy is it to reschedule?

In other news, I'm thinking of doing the no-buy thing in July. Only I'll take it a step further and call it the buy-no-books-and-read-no-books-either month. Any and all time I got for reading needs to go elsewhere this month.

I started reading After Ben, read one paragraph, and put it aside. Don't ask me why.
