Today I am feeling: snack-o-rific

Books I am reading:
The Golden Compass Philip Pullman
Sacred Contracts Caroline Myss

Games I am playing:
none


I've been reading a lot trying to catch up on the stuff I've had piling up for the last year. I'm almost done with The Golden Compass (the first book in the His Dark Materials trilogy) which is saying a lot seeing as I have to force myself to read a little every day. It's not such a bad story, but the writing style is just boring and unimaginative and overly detailed with things that don't matter. But I have the whole trilogy so I want to find out what happens (sort of). I've also been reading a few other books none of which I've finished so I just picked the two listed above as the ones I'm trying to finish for now. I start to read about 5 times as many books as I actually finish, usually due to their boring nature. Take the first book in the Left Behind series for example. Ugh what a piece of garbage. I thought I'd try to read one of the books in the overly long series about the "end times" just to see what the hype is all about but it was just so badly written I didn't want to torture myself. Some of you Bible-believing Christians are probably saying I couldn't read it cuz I'm evil. Hehee. Could be, but hey, if this book is based on stuff that really might happen, I'll pick being left behind to burn to a crisp in "hell" any day if the ones who get to go bye-bye are those who are "saved". I think I'll just believe in elves and hope my salvation is forthcoming.


In kitten news, the cat has finally realized she's a cat and has started sleeping during the day. This of course means I now do not sleep much at night since the cat thinks it's playtime as soon as the lights go out. So, she has spent a lot of time in the "penalty box" this week. Maybe she'll get a clue soon, or maybe not. Or maybe she'll just chase her tail and make herself so dizzy she passes out. I hope.


I've also been snacking on some Bertie Bott's Everyflavor Beans and I have to say I've taken quite a liking to the vomit flavored ones. I couldn't stomach them at first, but now they taste quite like a sort of reject version of those sour jelly beans kids like. I also read an article about BB beans and they said they used real pepper in the pepper ones, no wonder I like them so much! They didn't say if they used real dirt in the dirt ones though, but it sure tastes like it. The only ones I cannot eat are the sardine ones, which, they say, were a tweaked version of the anchovy flavor Jelly Belly beans that are apparently no longer available (I wonder why!) All this bean eating has got me craving the "normal" Jelly Belly beans though, I used to really like the coconut and licorice and buttered popcorn ones.
