Kelly Clarkson is rather nice


...And so is (are?) Gorillaz. Big Whoop.

I have had two straight days of no classes, and now have classes tomorrow. Boo - freaking - hoo! I was just getting comfy! Life ain't right. Now I shall have to struggle with the higher questions in life - like why do we have classes on Saturday and Sunday, and at such god-forsaken times too..Grrrrr..

I had, at the start of the term surrounded myself with quite a few books, and it is time to take stock. So here goes -
1. The Code Book - have to start. Looks good.
2. The Last Partnerships - read a few chapters, but the narrative is rather dry.
3. The Future of India - Still untouched.
4. Made in Japan - ditto.
5. The Trial - Now here is an interesting book, though rather weird, at least so far, read a third of it so far.
6. The Motorcycle Diaries - Very cool so far.
7. Interesting TImes - PHENOMENAL.
8. Sophie's World - Excellent.
9. The Famished Road - Another weirdish book, but, so far so good, eh?
10. Small Gods - PHENOMENAL.
11. Cancer Ward - Looks interesting. I picked this up because I had read another book by the same author and that was very ...disturbing..for want of a better word.
12. Liars's Poker - VERY VERY GOOD..enjoying this one immensely.

In addition, I have determined that I blasted well need to exploit our library as best as is humanly possible, considering I only have one more year here and I still have not explored the library as fully as I would have liked.

Ah well. I need to start studying sometime soon too, I guess.

AND coming back to Kelly Clarkson, I am rapidly becoming a bit of a fan. She really really has a great voice, and some excellent songs. Check out Breakaway, Behind These Hazel Eyes. She does however remind me of a couple of people - There was this girl on TV with this guitar in her hand that she was playing in a rather nice way...God Knows what her name was...I have a terrible memory for these sorts of things. Oh well, I guess it will not come to me in time.

Cheerio.

By the way, I was just watching Return of the Jedi for the umpteenth time, and hence ze pic. This happens to be one of my favourite movies, and to think I very nearly did not see it at all! This friend of mine had come over to our place with the movie, telling me we should watch it, and I was rather more interested in the Mickey Mouse cartoon tape. This was when I was about seven or eight. But I sat through the movie, and was completely hooked by the time Luke whipped out his lightsaber and helped Han, Leia, Chewie and Lando to escape the clutches of Jabba. (Not to mention the droids, of course)
