Where have all the good books gone?

Seriously, I have not read a good fantasy book in a very long time. All right, I have not had much time to read fantasy books, but I have picked up a few recently, and I am appalled at the quality. Have my expectations gone up, or have the standards gone down? I was reading

I’m back.

Well, it’s been ages since I’ve last posted everything. I’ve been lost in a sea of academic confusion and obligations. However, the semester is over, and in a week or so, I’ll be getting ready for exams. So, all in all, not much time for writing, but I get by with about an hour every

Ten things I want for my birthday…

My birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks, and I thought I’d make up a list of ten (as yet non-existent) things which would make my life easier, or simply breezy. Just a little bit of silliness really. An automatic essay writer–just plug in the information and it will produce a well crafted essay.

Bleurgh…no title today

My tricycle arrived today. It’s the type of blue that I like, and after a few rounds, I got rather good at it. Now I just have to pluck up the courage to actually ride it out onto more open roads. My mother keeps on nagging me to get ‘real life’ friends, but it’s so

Heaven

I just watched the second half of Kingdom of Heaven again today, and it was still an amazing experience. I don’t know if it’s possible, but I’m even more in love with Balian. The acting was beautiful and touching. I could feel his shock when Sibylla declared that she didn’t really give a damn about what

A Random Bout of Typing.

I’m feeling rather good about myself at the moment. I was not rushing around trying to get everything done this morning, and I wrote a decent amount, so I’m pretty proud of myself, actually, since in the mornings, I’m generally not motivated to do anything. I also finished one essay in the weekend, so that might

The Complicated World of Fanfiction

I realize I haven’t written much about my writing and creative life in this blog, and it’s supposed to be a writer’s blog. What can I say? I’m just a bit ditzy like that, and I am a professional when it comes to going off topic. Just because I haven’t been writing about being creative

Good intentions amount to nothing.

You know, I had every intention of reading my history textbooks and going over my notes today. Knowing me, it didn’t happen. I was too busy reading and replying to my reviews (that was during late morning and early afternoon), and then once again, I’m stuck to the computer screen. It’s just that the internet

Idiots and…wise people?

The other day, I was making up a statement concerning freedom and wisdom and I needed a group noun for wise and smart people. Being the relatively studious sort of person, I went and got my Oxford Thesaurus off my bookshelf and tried to look for something which would suit. One of the few words I knew

Restlessness sans Reason

You know those days when you feel totally restless, and you’re in a bad mood but you don’t know why? Well, I feel like that today, although I think I know why; the reason is so irrational that it can’t really be counted as a reason though. In fact, I shouldn’t really care, but there’s this

I’m feeling lazy. What’s new?

I should be typing up my latest fanfiction chapter at the moment. It’s supposed to be three to four thousand words long, and while I have it all written out by hand, getting it down in electronic form can be a bit of a bother because typing can be rather boring, especially if you are

Exams, doom; what is the difference?

I guess I should be studying, since I have an exam in less than two days. But I’m really not in the mood. It’s Sunday, and I feel like lazing around, reading novels and generally not doing anything useful. There isn’t really much to talk about, considering I’m not in the mood for writing good

A page out of the ordinary life

I’ve been having a relatively bad day today. It wasn’t so much the exam which put me in a bad mood (I think I’ll be all right) but the $9 worth of library fines that I found out about this evening. I thought I’d renewed the book, and so it should’ve been fine, but apparently, I
