Blithering Towards Oblivion

[xifeng]

1.) Have been reading Tom Jones, which I picked up at the used-book store in Salem. Am not very far along but am enjoying the hell out of it, particularly the Homer-parody chapter wherein Molly Seagrim gets in a fight in the churchyard.

2.) We were supposed to get hammered by a massive storm, complete with Dire Warnings from the meteorologists and pictures of St. Louis covered in snow ("OMG DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU!"). Being Hoosiers, and thus used to it, we ignored the warnings and the worst thing that happened was a little flurrying when I was in Jasper on Friday.

3.) The movie store closed! INDESCRIBABLE MISERY.

4.) However, when I went to the library tonight, I found Hara-Kiri, which is a movie about samurai that I have not yet seen, and was delighted. Huzzah! I've managed to sneak samurai movies in under the wire! Mom was unimpressed, because I have never been able to make her see the beauty that is feudal Japan.

5.) Mmm, cranberry-orange bread.

Tom Jones is one of the many books I plan to read One Day.

Also? Random love.

LOVE Tom Jones. It's so saucy and smart. Partridge is the best character ever.

Hee, yes, I'm falling in love with it even as we speak. I haven't seen much of Partridge yet, though, but will keep your comment in mind :D

Hee, yes, I have a stack like that. I've slowed down on the interminable stream of library books so that I can read more of them ;)

Also? Not-so-random love. ♥

Most of my book collection is made up of classics that I really want to read... yet most of my actual reading is made up of uni books and crappy magazines *g*

♥ just becoz.

[shake-the-stars.livejournal.com]

Crappy magazines are a perfectly respectable lifestyle choice *g* If it makes you feel any better, I have books I bought in high school and still haven't gotten to.

♥ for no reason at all.

*forinstance*

OH NOES. D: Here, it's dangerous to go alone. Take this with you: ♥

I have survived my trip to the doctors', possibly thanks to your lucky ♥

Also, I originally wrote that as "licky" which is another thing entirely.

[shake-the-stars.livejournal.com]

Hurrah! I've saved another life! :D

But ♥s don't have tongues. Either that, or you have a dirty mind *g*

[tara]

Do you do that often?

My ♥ has a tounge. And a belly button.

[shake-the-stars.livejournal.com]

Oh, well, not as much as all that *shuffles feet modestly*

My ♥ has a brain. A lot of it.
