Normally Tuesdays are truly terrible for me, but so far, this one hasn't been bad. It's 4:01, I can go home in an hour! (If nothing crazy happens between now and then...)

Not much has happened since yesterday.

I started a new book, Simon Pegg's "Nerd Do Well." Edward's brother got it for me for Christmas, he knows I love Simon Pegg/Shaun of the Dead/Hot Fuzz. Nerdy Brit! I'll take one, please. So far, I'm amused, which is good.

I just finished Haruki Murakami's "The Wind Up Bird Chronicle" and while I highly recommend it, don't even ask me what it's about because I couldn't even begin to tell you. It was CRAZY. Like a labyrinth! So good, everyone, go pick it up and read it! IT'S CRAZY. Crazy good.

I started reading it in December, but then took a break to re-read The Hobbit, which is just as good as I remembered. I love The Hobbit. And I really enjoyed the movie too, even though there was LOTS more than what's in the book. But that's okay! It was all cool stuff!

I have the film "Come and See" waiting for me at home. Here's the Netflix synopsis: Director Elem Klimov's drama shows the atrocities of World War II through Soviet eyes. When 13-year-old commoner Florya joins a group of partisans fighting the Nazis in Belorus, he doesn't suspect that he is plunging through the looking glass. Separated from his comrades during a paratroop attack and struck deaf by artillery, Florya wanders a battle-scorched Russian purgatory of forests and man-made slaughter.

I've heard it's INTENSE so I'm kind of scared to watch it. You guys, I was an emotional wreck for weeks after watching War Horse, and that's just a movie about a horse during World War II! Oy, I kind of regret adding it to the queue. I also read AFTER adding it to my queue and PROMISING myself I'd watch it that they kill a real animal in it. D: I don't know, I don't know...

Here are some images from it:







I'm scared.

Those screenshots are intense. I would not make it through twenty minutes of that film.

re: what motivates me to exercise? i just miss being in decent shape. also, my work is doing a weight loss contest, and i promised some coworkers that i would crush them to smitherines in the contest.

aaaand, my mother recently was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. i am really scared that being overweight could lead me to the same fate... everyone has their own motivation i guess. i don't have a work out buddy, i just found exercise that i like to do, and am sticking with it.

cheers,
sank
