I have less of a life right now, and more of a reading plan. There are just too many books, and I have neglected many too long! If I can finish the three I'm reading now, particularly 'The Da Vinci Code', by the end of this weekend, then I won't feel quite so weird when I go to the library to get 'Phantom of the Opera', 'Maurice' and 'Brideshead Revisited'. Thankfully, I have no work next week and only two papers to turn in, so I should have plenty of time. Yay! Maybe that's why I feel so unreasonably happy all the time; more reading makes me happy. I'm nuts.

Oh, and guess what my library has? 'Brideshead Revisited' as an audiobook read by Jeremy Irons! Yay! I'm getting it purely because I enjoy his voice *so* much, it's so soothing. It's the reason I was feeling all upset when they were talking of dismantling 'Spaceship Earth' in Epcot - it's narrated by him and it's the perfect way to take a few minutes to breath and relax; his voice is all calming and sweet, it's wonderful. Evelyn Waugh and Jeremy Irons, what better sound to fall asleep to? mmmm, I get all happy just thinking about it.

Had a discussion with my English teacher today about English A-level - he's considering reccomending me for lingual line English, which I'm considering, but I'm not sure I'd take it, if I got it; it seems quite arrogant to think I'm better than anyone else one might come upon in the science line of highschool. Also, I would like to be with people I know; it makes class more amusing.

Finally, let me icon rec:Poisoninjest has incredibly cool and pretty icon sets here. That's where my icon *thumbs towards it* Pretty girls! Pretty girls in love!

Also? Merchant of Venice, Phantom of the Opera, PoA, Princess Bride and muppets!

( And the costumes and the girls and the eyes and it's all so pretty! )

I finished 'the Da Vinici Code'. I hate that my favourite character, the only one with any personality, was the bad guy. That sucked. If ( spoiler )

. All in all, a good read; the theories were extremely well thought through, the art history interesting. The characters and the clunky expostition get thumbs down (as do the abuse of ellipses and italics), but still, I was entertained and intrigued, and I am pleased with that.

Now, onto Heat and then 'Everything you ever needed to know about...'

Or possibly bed. Maybe.
