*cough cough bitch bitch*

I'm tired and sometimes when I cough my head feels like it's slowly filling with air and will gently explode. Which makes me moan, the only cure I can think of to deal with it. Unless I can suck the little mucus and inflammation out somehow. I'm enjoying hot tea to try to melt whatever is forming and sitting upright to prevent inflation :)

My latest copy of Entertainment Weekly is 63 pages full of Sex and the City. I show I could never watch. I didn't see the point. I didn't identify with them and the few episodes I have seen included Parker wearing shorts the same size as underwear. I am apparently a prude. I couldn't take it. Whether it makes sense or not.

The other day I was discussing the latest book I read and the author with my brother. Who then tells me I need to stop reading junk. I was just shocked that was the first piece of junk I have read or can remember reading. Unless he thinks Harry Potter is junk. I don't think so but with him it could cross a line BUT he read the entire series and had to get to the library to get what I didn't have. I wasn't reading it for it's literary merit! Entertainment. I have always avoided junk. I was offended! He doesn't even know what I read!!! I can lose a debate on not reading philosophy or history, which is like a secret buried deep within. I don't know why I haven't. My brain is craving this. I like to understand a broad spectrum of topics and my lack of history (they never teach you the good parts) and modern theories on post modernism or whatever it was. I once read a book by a doctor of psychiatry (or something fancier) based on the mind-brain or something and it was my most beloved book. I even had to argue with a girl who was too stupid to understand the book was nonfiction and not literature like her beloved Girl, Interrupted or whatever. Which I am sure had tons of fact in it and explorations simple enough for the masses and was based on a real person, therefore making it real. But to argue! With me about nonfiction and what it is. Hey I'm not the smartest person in the room, at times, but I'm definitely not the dumbest. Whatever...

People...

My next book is an historical narrative retelling of the Norman Invasion of England. I think it is 1066 The Year of the Conquest. I am ready for it!

I was planning on doing it this week. Once I get my computer fixed I plan to make regular posts.

It's hard having to share a computer in another room.
