{ late! }

[delga]

Last day of work this week, whoop whoop! Due to Whitsun Monday, and then training on Tuesday, I only have to work two days this week (I have Friday off, huzz). This is good because despite my best efforts, the cold I have been fighting has taken root in my sinuses, and also my quest to find wearable footwear has wrecked my feet and my back. I am so old! etc.

I have so many books and not one whit of inclination to read them. I've been carrying Saffron Froer's Everything is Illuminated around for a month now and, nope, still haven't opened it. I also have American Gods now, which I bought in May some time, but fuck if I can be bothered. I think it's because the last lot of books I read have either not be particularly good reads, or have not ended in a satisfying way. Baba Yaga Laid An Egg started off promisingly but didn't deliver; The Stone Gods lacked Winterson's usual deft touch; The Lollipop Shoes was trite next to Chocolat. I am disinclined to read, guys! Something is wrong with me.

Other things I am disinclined to do: watch the rest of NCIS: LA; watch the last two episodes of Criminal Minds. Tomorrow through Sunday I want to re-watch Wire in the Blood, so I think I'll stick to that as a plan.

I watched 9 the other day - the animation, not the musical - and I enjoyed it quite a bit. I think the resolution didn't make a whole hunk of sense, but the atmosphere was great. Now I want to write it. I know. An animation. Jeez.

I've also somehow lost my joy in reading books...I had these two uni-literature courses where I had to read one book a weak for each and now that I don't have to read anymore I sort of lost the will to do so...

Heh. Sorry to butt in, but I'm a lit student too and I find that after all the reading I do for uni, I just can't be bothered to read in my spare time anymore. Is this what they call 'irony'? :)

Yeah, when I finished uni two years ago it took a good six months before I started reading for pleasure again. I mean, we were reading three novels a week, plus criticism, plus the essay materials. It was insane. The yen will come back, though, and it will feel delicious.

Well, we all go through phases when we are bored with the things that we love the most. It's like cake. Too much of the good thing will put you off for a while.

Try movies?

I think it's because I'm waking up so early; my attention is pretty shot these days, heh.
