I've been making mental lists again.
Of things I desperately want to read once the semester is over, (Solzynitsyn, Gogol, Gravity's Rainbow, The Fifty Year Sword...) which only serves to remind me that there is (seemingly) no one in this entire godforsaken desert (which I love so desperately) who is even vaguely interested in reading anything other than Harry Potter, Twilight, or 50 Shades of Grey.
This makes me sad.
(Truthfully, this makes me incredibly worried about the fate of humanity, but that's another issue entirely.)
It's even more depressing because I know you and I would have had ridiculous literati lunches had it not been for all the time and distance between the two of us.
It's not fair, and for the record, I don't like it.
I do like you though. :) In case you somehow forgot.
I probably won't get a chance to talk to you again between now and the 21st. Procrastination has become an art form, in the truest sense of the term and now I've got a shit ton of work to get done in the next week and a half. Boo.
In other, totally unrelated news, I watched the trailer for Les Mis. last night and began weeping uncontrollably. It's that damn Do You Hear The People Sing? song.
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!
It's Season 6 of Buffy all over again...the ridiculous obsessive fan girl in me just can't keep it together anymore. Anyway, I can't wait to see it. IN A THEATER. (<- huge deal)
That's all I know. Lots of love. <3
I think a friend of ours had a similar complaint and wanted to actually do a legitimate book club, but they kind of moved to Tuscon and they rarely make it out for things. So, yeah, I guess that really wasn't much help there.
ReplyDeleteI have the hardest time filling in that verification word/number thing, you have to get rid of it!
There's a verification thing?? Oh NO! Has it always been there or did it just show up? I hate those things! I'll definitely try and figure out how to get rid of it!!
DeleteAlso, I would kill for a legit book club. But all of my friends that read, or rather, that read real lit have moved away. :( Sooooo lame.
Let me know if it's still there. I think(?) I turned it off, maybe. . . hopefully.
