Holiday Blues

Contradictorily to my last post, I do declare that going through the holidays without good reading material sucks. I have been partially saved from the brink of frustration by steamrolling through the Ranger's Apprentice series by John Flanagan (a very good series, but maybe a bit more suited for younger years) but now I am reduced to slavering over my computer, tired eyes scanning over the clichéd and the utterly repetitive world of fan fiction.

The best thing about going to school is that you have a pretty decent library sitting just within a few metres of wherever your classroom is. In the holidays, of course, I had to strech my loan limit to its boundries and travel home with a ton of books in my already-loaded bag, or otherwise get up early *shock horror!* and find myself a public library whose card I have not yet misplaced. *Sigh*. It's a hard life.

I have an undefinate list of books I want to read soon, mostly all choices influenced by friends who are able to steal the book faster off the shelves than me *glares at a certain someone*. Amongst them are Blood and Chocolate, another one vampire/werewolf (or is it just werewolf?) genre, Chocolat, (I saw the movie with Johnny Depp and few deep in love with the screenplay), the Dragonriders series, and a few classics such as Pride and Prejduice and Wuthering Heights.

However, the best thing about holidays is the free time to watch movies. There are a few good ones out right now- Prince Caspian (dubbed Prince Caspicum by my sister) and the latest Indiana Jones among others. I saw Get Smart on Sunday night, a good movie, but unfortunately not as good as the old Maxwell Smarts.
