Hmm, this is irritating, I wrote a giant speech there and I got logged out during the progress. Annoying.
Long story short, I find it funny when fat people die http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfOz6iVMQug here is Stephen King's "Christine"
(note the motif of when fat people get run down by cars)

I think she was really crap as well, I wish she also got mown over by a vehicle of some form, I found that awful woman so bad because she didn't give that intimate aura between people as was described in the book, instead she focused on the whole pathetic aspect of Daisy.
I will take this opportune moment to talk about how I wish to resurrect Mcspazzmicfitzgerald, just so I can kill him myself and how much he disgusted me with his pretentious, half-assed (laaaaaaame) symbolism of "what's in a name and how it affects our destiny and our personalities".
Examples: Daisy being very weak and pretty, Myrtle being dark and vivacious, crawls up walls/anything just as Myrtle crawls up the social ladder GOD! *snaps pencil*
I severely dislike this book...
By the by (fast forward clip to 2:33 if you don't want to see fatboy run before he dies)

go to the website and just scroll down. There's info about the shirts on the new website + merch thread here I do believe...
I got my tee a couple weeks ago Getting mail is actually the best thing ever.
Although, not angry letters from the library. And I do get a lot of those... but Final Fantasy mail, well that's a different kettle of metaphorical fish. |

Aww, i paid for mine on the 22nd and it's still not here I guess they must be busy, since it's supposed to come with a personalised note and all. Or, it got lost on the way to Australia D:

We watched The Great Gatsby movie in high school, but I don't remember it. I don't think I really liked the novel, either.
andandandandand . . . the essay is complete (well a bit short, but who counts pages?). Whoooo

Join the majority, nobody likes crap literature that got turned into an even worse movie. What did you do your essay on?
I think I want to blow up my neighbours house with heat vision, urgh! the most sickening family ever conceived live there, check this out I was awoken by the sound of children LAUGHING!!! god- I'm convinced they're the new age satanists, Scientologists.
I remember a dear friend of mine discussing what the Scientologist Jesus would look like, apparently he would be sixteen feet tall, made of metal and fly through the sky screaming and killing everyone.

They made a novel of that? I think the only part I wholeheartedly enjoyed was when the narrator describes how keen Gatsby is at deception. The rest of the book was a little lukewarm for me, which I am sad to say.
I'm reading a wonderfully imaginative book called The Third Policeman. It's written by Flann O'Brien, which is a pseudonym.
What's everyone reading, or what has been read lately?

A book that is rather good and I advise everyone to dash to their libraries upon hearing this is "The unbearable lightness of being" by Milan Kundera. I dislike the fact that I can relate to the main character at the beginning because he's a bit of a bastard who deserves to be eaten alive by very angry pandas. But the narrator goes off into little philosophical rants which bear no relevance to the story and as I have little to no attention span, I find this fun.
I have work tomorrow, I don't look forward to it one bit.

We are reading Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer in French class and Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck in Enriched English class. Personally, I've been reading This is your Brain on Music by Daniel J. Levitin and The Line of Beauty by Alan Hollinghurst. The two first ones aren't really great but the latter are really good. I've been enjoying them a lot.

I need to ask, what is Artemis fowl about? I've been wanting to read it for something really stupid like 3 years now. I will give you your first and final warning here and now: put down Of Mice and Men- it will drain your soul out of your eyes IT IS AN ABOMINATION OF A BOOK DESIGNED TO BORE!!!!
However, in saying this I did use it in an exam *shakes fist in sheer literature hatred*
I sometimes wonder why I decided to do English lit at uni :/

Artemis Fowl: 12 year old guy who's super-inteligent and wants to steal some leprechauns gold to restore his family power that his dad lost by selling weapons to russians, but he (his dad) got "killed" and to help him (Artemis) steal their (leprechauns) money, he got his butler cleverly named Butler to help him. It's pretty boring.
Of Mice and Men: I already finished it like 2 weeks ago, but we have an exam next Tuesday about it. It was boring too.

Only the first series has been shown here. I hung around on the Mighty Boosh boards and downloaded the series 2 episodes as they were being shown in the UK, since someone was kind enough to record & upload them every week I wish i could find them on dvd here.
