On a Lazy Sunday Afternoon
Again, I am trying new and interesting ways to procrastinate today. I wish I could break through this bad habit I have of doing everything else except study. The problem is, there are a couple of books this term that I’m just not getting happy with. This may be the cause, because usually I don’t…

Why Books are Better than Movies
It’s an oldie, but a goodie ‘Have you read the book? It’s SO much better than the film!’ I have come to the conclusion that I don’t have much to say to people who don’t read books. Read any book. Even if it’s Mills & Boon, at least it’s some sort of creative. I feel…

Up at 2:49AM
What a wonderful find when I’m struggling to sleep & do a bit of reading to try and aid the process. When you buy a book, you establish a property right in it, just as you do in clothes or furniture when you buy and pay for them. But the act of purchase is actually…

Monday (quick) Musings

Winter is Here
Hello Bloggersphere, It has been a while. I must admit, Uni has me snowed under with work as I’ve changed my major to English and Children’s Literature. It has taken a bit of time getting used to all the new things I had to learn, especially the lingo that seems to be paramount in Children’s…

Neglected Post
Hello Readers, Yes it has been a while since I last blogged anything. Truth is, Summer makes it hard for me to participate. The heat and I are not friends and so I spend my days waiting for the day to just be over. Today we have lots of rain, cold wind and grey skies.…

Scrap Paper Poetry
For years now, I’ve done what I like to call ‘Scrap Paper Poetry’. Everyone has bits of scrap paper lying around, I even use the back of receipts from purchases I’ve made, and just write anything that can completely fill that area. I have a shoe box filled with these words that just fall out…
