The time has come to reinvigorate my ability to write decently (you can already see I’m failing miserably). I guess it’s time to get down to reading the books I’ve been meaning to read. The very books I let sit on my desk to collect dust because of my *unending* workload and *countless* things of preceding importance to attend to.

These books include:

1. Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (which I stole from my secondary school’s library along with Moon Palace and Music of Chance)
2. Eating Naked (picked up at a flea market for 4 bucks with Gus Van Sant’s Pink thrown in for another dollar. I gave up reading the latter. Too “surrealist” for me. Pfft.)
3. The Kite Runner (from my darling cousin Melody)
4. The Fortress of Solitude (bought on impulse at a Borders book sale)
5. and finally, The Normals (which I gave up reading because Indecision, which I read prior to The Normals, was just too wittily anecdotal, thus The Normals just couldn’t keep my attention.)

Crap paperbacks aside (but not as crappy as the crap some of my friends read), I did manage to watch some movies I’ve been meaning to check out, and they include:

1. Memento (yes, yes. It’s about time, I know.)
2. A Scanner Darkly (Robert Downey Jr., ZOMG)
3. Zodiac (Robert Downey Jr., ZOMG)
4. and Good Bye, Lenin! (after trying to figure out how to work the damn subtitles on Quicktime Pro.)

I hope this MPAA bullshit fades into obscurity soon with us victorious. How am I going to watch movies if we lose? More importantly, how the heck am I supposed to purchase DVDs on my meager student allowance?
