It's been raining here a lot lately. They say that these storms are left over from tropical storm Bonnie. Personally, I love rainy days - so long as I can be seperated from the downpour by a panel of glass. :)
I think I've drunk something like 25 cups of coffee in the last four days. I don't know if that's impressive or not, but it's a hell of a lot more than usual. I've also been playing the Angry Birds app game for hours on end. Who knew that catapulting various types of birds (some of them explode!) into fortresses of various materials in order to kill the little green pigs could be so addicting? Well it is. And if you have an iPod touch or an iPhone, you should get this game.
In other entertainment news, 30 Rock is probably the funniest show on television right now. (I watch everything on Hulu, though. It's so convenient!) The Big Bang Theory is a close second, mostly because of Sheldon. Lie to Me is never boring, either - definitely not funny, but still great.
Right now I'm reading three books:
The Girl Who Played with Fire (for fun),
Cry, The Beloved Country (required for Orientation), and
The Noticer (for book club).
All are good so far, but I can't say I'd recommend
The Noticer as a book club choice. It's interesting, but more for personal motivation than anything else.
Oh! and I almost forgot.
I'm also listening to
World Without End by Ken Follett on audiobook - usually while I'm playing Angry Birds...
It's fantastic, but I would recommend reading and/or listening to
The Pillars of the Earth first. It just makes a tad more sense that way. And I'll warn you, too, that this is a brick of a book with some rather explicit scenes scattered throughout.
Also on the list of books-that-I-started-to-read-this-summer-but-haven't-gotten-around-to-finishing are
A Swiftly Tilting Planet, Les Miserables, The Hostile Hospital (book 8 of A Series of Unfortunate Events), and
Angels and Demons.
Sometimes I just get bored and move on.
I'll finish them all eventually.
I recommend everything mentioned in this post to any bored people out there who stumble upon my blog.
Until tomorrow,
which supposedly never comes.
