mmmmmmm, night off......

and stupid people can't drive when it's damp out. i was fifteen minutes late this morning. didn't leave late, just sat in traffic for twice as long as usual. anyhoo, got about twenty minutes on the bike tonight and took a bath (yeah, i did some cleaning earlier in the week) i started reading Oliver Twist today, interesting. i was curious about how much was changed/cut for the musical version. (lots) although most of the dialogue is straight out of the book, and i'm finding it much more entertaining than i expected. i can only remember reading Tale of Two Cities ages ago, couldn't really tell you what it was about now, i just remember struggling to stay awake. hmmmmm, lots of things i read i can't remember, i mainly remember how i felt about them or something equally simple. One day in the Life of Ivan Denisovitch? a beating. so short (page count wise), but it took me for.ev.er. to read. Read Catcher in the Rye in one day. Poisonwood Bible in a weekend. War and Peace? uh, lots of historian bashing and too many people to keep track of. anyway, it's been a while since i've read a book on my own. rto and i read The Kite Runner and the Davinci Code together (maybe mom should recommend more books) i guess that's one good thing about work, i'm reading a lot at lunch time since i don't feel comfortable staying at my desk and surfing.
