Lately I've tried to blog many times but always stopped halfway because of sheer apathy, or the fact I felt it was better to vegetate on the bed in the little free time I have. But tonight my boredom has numbed me into simply attempting to type it away. OK. Let me admit it. I've seen worse days. Today I studied Virginia Woolf and started the mighty Conrad, whom I absolutely LOVE. Yes, I know, I'm a total Philistine and I've only read Heart of Darkness and no Lord Jim. But I still LOVE him. The man has IT. That thing which makes him absolutely indispensable to humanity, that thing that makes a light bulb go pop in your head in a sleepy library on an even sleepier May afternoon.
Despite the utter awesomeness that is Conrad, I am totally and utterly exhausted. My mind feels like a squashed cheeselet on the sizzling tarmac of a Maltese August noon. So I'm watching lots and lots of Daria, which some girl for whom I should build a monument uploaded on youtube. You see, Daria is the still point of the turning mediocre world. As I had said in a previous entry, Daria is or was a completely, intelligent, witty, funny, lovable show on MTV, and how this station degenerated to showing stuff like 'jackass' and 'rob and big' and 'viva la bam' is a perversion humanity will sadly never fathom.
In other world-shattering news, I'm twenty. YES. And I still watched Mini Bugz today cos it was Griz's birthday. My June birthday was the usual i.e. I spent it studying. Actually I spent it reading a book for Postcolonial Novel this year. The book was quite enjoyable, especially considering its heroine had a fetish for hairy wrists. EEW! The presents I got were absolutely tops though, and Andrea and co. have promised theirs when the sound and fury is over (Haven't met An in ages :(). Much love to them of course! I got money from parents and Aunt Maryanne and Uncle Joe, which I will use for Werchter of course XD. I got a lovely dainty butterfly-shaped necklace from Deborah, a Keane live DVD and documentary from Claire and 'The Gum Thief' by Douglas Coupland from Miriam:) Thanks so much XD
Last Saturday was hilarious. Looking forward to normal LIFE now. And Werchter of course!!!! Please God let the sun shine for those 4 days.
I' ll leave you with Daria: Please watch these and your life will be better: It's the first and second part of one episode:

I'll bet you'd like Rob and Big if you'd think of it as more of an oddball comedy. Watch three episodes and you'll be hooked.
