last paper
last paper in 2 days' time. i sense the waft of freedom already... blast all those pple on msn with 'busy' status lah, i bet all of them are dota-ing away like crazy.
out of the 9 - get that, NINE - essay outlines i prepped for the comparison qn none came even close to coming out on the lit paper. i just hope the stuff i cobbled together and tossed off was actually relevant to the question, it was 6 pages long and full of quotes lah damnit. think i probably didn't make enough connections back to the qn though... something about the links between the impossible and the familiar, quite unexpected.
faustus was... a piece of cake, it should be fine. the PCs were guailan though... far cry from the paper 1 stuff. overall the paper sucked baaad. hope my lit A comes true...
went out for dinner with not-quite-the-usual gang yesterday - martin char xy aditi els bren and annliang - who left halfway and therefore avoided paying lol. uhhh conversation was fun, we had lots of jokes at xy's expense, which is good for a laugh. went home and played civ IV till my mom nagged me to go sleep, as usual.
spent the last 1 hour looking for books to get/read (thx for the recs aditi!) so besides love in the time of cholera and brodie's report, i have something like 8 more books on my to-get-and-read list.
Jack Kerouac - On the Road
Claire Messud - The Emperor’s Children
Nick Laird - Utterly Monkey
David Lodge - The British Museum Is Falling Down
Haruki Murakami - Norwegian Wood
Marisha Pessl - Special Topics in Calamity Physics
Michel Butor - Second Thoughts
Georges Perec - Life: A User's Manual
any more recommendations from the rest of you?
so i'd better get down to doing up my H3. damn.

oh oh nick laird! yeah he = mr zadie smith lol. he's like the most emo man ever. i haven't been able to find utterly monkey (cool name heh) anywhere though.
i wanna read emperor's children too :D on the road is getting good, i like it. it was just the academicsy intro that pwned me.
i haven't read zadie smith's autograph man book (her 2nd one). i have it though :P i haven't heard ANY good things about it i wonder how that happened to her o_o
Read "The Dice Man" by Luke Reinhart.
If you like Catch 22 - the best book ever - you'll probably like Dice man.
Also read The Magus by John Fowles.
Don't bother with the film...
