So I broke my "one post a week" promise, but to be honest when my life isn't being taken up by real life concerns, its busy voraciously devouring every book in sight. I love reading, what can I say? Which is why I am compleyely lovestruck by the massive book superstore that opened in perth a couple of weeks ago, named Borders. That place is huge, and packed with books of any kind. Best of all, there's a Glorai Jeans cafe inside the store, where you can sit and read while enjoying a cup of gourmet yuppie coffee as you read fad books like The Da Vinci Code and marvel at what a great book it is like so many milions of others, not realising that the writing is amateurish, the pacing is terrible and the author is a skilless hack. I seem to attack everything don't I? I make no apology that I'm a terribly opinionated person. I accept this because unlike many other opinionated people, I am willing to change opinions when proven wrong. To be honest, when I make fun of something you like, I'm not attacking you, Im' attacking the source of it in front of you. Don't see the difference? I do. Theres a world of distinction to me. However, thats natural for a person like me who delights in wordplay, semantics and other such interests of the linguophile. What am I reading you ask? I'm currently reading Tales of The Foundling, a delightful book I bought from Borders, where to be honest, I judged the book by its delightful cover. And so far, I'm really enjoying it.
I've also decided to stop bitching about my job and rechannel the negative energy into positive energy.
"The mind is its own place, and in itself
Can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven".
An excellent quote by John Milton in Paradise Lost, but it summarises what I'm thinking. My parents convinced me to stay at my job another 4 -6 months and see how it goes, and I'm not stupid enough to disregard their advice. There are great things about my job, and who knows, things might actually change. Of course I'm too much of a cynic for that, but sometimes strange things happen.
I also picked up "At War with the Mystics", the new album by The Flaming Lips last sunday. Haven't had a quiet time to sit down and listen to it, but I have high hopes for it.
