52 to go

Well, I really meant it when I said I’d try to post somethig, but this has been a hell of a week. Everyday, I got home, and tried to read a bit. As a result I ended up falling asleep before 10pm… That’s why.  Anyway i’m only 52 pages away from the end of the American Gods.  I have to manage it by the end of the week. I’ll post a small review as soon as I finish it.

I’ll keep you posted.

‘Till then, enjoy the mist.

Silence: A Cultural Update.

Silence. That’s all you’ve got from me lately. Simple reason though… My days are all alike, and when I get home I’m always dead tired. Which leads to very little internet connection. Sometimes I spend several days without turning my PC on. When you work in front of a pc all day, it’s only understandable if you don’t want to spend the little free time you have, doing almost the same thing you’ve done all day. So, recently I been catching up with a lot of TV shows, and falling in love with new ones. Let me make a list of all the shows I’ve been watching:

  • Women’s Murder Club
  • Crossing Jordan
  • Men in Trees
  • How I met your mother
  • Ghost Whisperer

Until last Friday I watched Friends all over again. And yes, Rachel still did get out of the plane. On DVD I’m watching Ally Mcbeal, the first season. But now my DVD player is broken and I have to wait for it to return home safely. I also bought a few films, but because of the already mentioned DVD player problem, I’ll have to wait to watch them properly. Among my new acquisitions are both Elizabeth’s movies, Stardust, and Shakespeare in Love (one of my all time favorites).

Shopping. Since I mentioned that I’ve been buying things, there’s no way I’m not going to talk about the couple of books I got over the last few months: one by a Portuguese author, Perfeitos Milagres by Jacinto Lucas Pires. And this week with my Amazon order, there was Smoke and Mirrors by Neil Gaiman, and The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. Let’s see when will I make the time to read them, since I’ve been reading American Gods like forever… right now I’m like 150 pages away from the end, and I want to compromise myself to finish it this week. So, even If that’s all I’m gonna write for this week, I’ll try to post how many pages do I have left… Everyday! Ok? So, please stay with me on this one.

Enjoy the Mist : )
