this side of the blue

twas a boring weekend indeed. first and foremost, i didn't make much of a dent on the to-do lists, though i did read a whole lot. i finished one book and am nearly halfway through 2 others! wooo-HOOO!

i read After the Quake--one of Murakami's book of short stories--and it was pretty good. not my favorite, but good. specifically the last story (Honey Pie) which i absolutely loved. i can very much relate to that "empty" feeling from reading one of his stories, though. one would think that would discourage me from wanting to read his stuff, but it doesn't. it's hard to describe.

currently, i'm wrapped up in two other books. The Elephant Vanishes (his other book o' shorts), and Diary of a Wimpy Kid, which is surprisingly entertaining so far.

yesterday was really boring: i went to Barnes and Noble's to read in their comfy chairs (i NEED to buy one of those when i get my own place) but they were really busy and all the chairs, barring the hard wooden ones, were taken! i stayed about an hour, then caved in and bought the books so i could read them in the comfort of my own bed.

i also went to Target to peruse the furniture aisle, but all i ended up buying was a bag of Hershey's egg chocolates. i'm craving chocolate something fierce recently--especially warm chocolate. like a freshly baked brownie drizzled with caramel and topped with some vanilla ice cream... mmmm...

ps: i'm currently strongly disliking this place right now.
