So Hard to Love

03:19 pm - 49 and 48

Helen Fielding- Bridget Jones's Diary and Bridget Jones's Diary the edge of reason.

I am a big fan of the films and yet have never ever read the books. Was in Oxfam other day and they were both 50p each so decided it was time i should read them. Having seen the films i knew the general story line but as always as i got into the book i prefered the book more. The character of Mark Darcy is much more sexy in the book (not that colin firth isnt) but the film version definatly skipped a few of his more notably qualities as with Daniel Cleaver. The story was funny and scarily seemingly familiar with oneself, especially the whole fag/booze/weight documenting. There is quite a lot of context from the book missing from the film which again is uaully why i prefer reading books to wthcing the film but still thoroughly enjoyed it.

The edge of reason was just as good, Shazzer is possibly my favourite character with her overuse of the word fuck, constant smoking and general feminist qualities and thinking men are shit- she reminded me of what im going to be like in 10 years. I loved the parts of the book that were not featured in the film as it made the read less predictable.

03:33 pm - 50 books in a year

I pretty much always read atleast a book a week but im documenting this time round.. So to start the year off my number 50 was

Marian Keyes- Anybody out there?

Iv owned this book for about six months now, i bought it on one of my charity shop book raids and it was the first Keyes novel i had read. I was instantly absorbed by the dark humour and wittyness of the novel.It was once of those novels that made me both laugh at loud and cry.
The story tells the tale of Irish Anna who has been badly injured in an accident (you dont find out why until later in the novel so i wont spoil) despite this she is desperate to get back to her life and husband Aiden in New York. The story was funny and tragic at the same time, i guessed the mini twist within the first few chapters but aside from this i would well recommend it. And i will definatly be reading more from Keyes.

Things are slightly better now. im no longer suicidal over the prospect of selling myself for money.

I love that song by Ida Maria. i like her gravelly voice

01:21 pm

Went out last night and got really pissed and now i feel terrible. I should not drink wine all night again, i know this as it makes me sick. I passed out as soon as i got in. Im working on a presentation onOscar wilde today and then having an early night and some nice food. Pops in away next week thankfully so i get a bit of peace and quiet. I start work on Monday im really rather nervous about what to wear and how to do my hair etc. I need to find a colour thats both suitable for school and not boring like black. Im thinking about being red/ginger again. Maybe this time a more auburn then orange. Need to let this hideous black fade out first. Getting it re-dreaded over the summer just to let it grow somemore.

MA starts in october i think i have decided on my moduals. Definatly doing the teaching one and the fiction writing one, im staying away from anything too academtic and concentrating on my writing itself. 

Back to Oscar

10:54 am

Im beginning to get really annoyed with topshop..They delivered the top to me yeterday but i supposedly wasnt in at 12.34, which is odd cos i didnt leave the house yesterday till 3.30pm for work so thats a big fat lie, they have now said they went to my neighbours and they signed for it..which in my opinion is fuckign stupid as my neighbours i hardly know them, so i rang next door and they said they havnt got it which may not be true as the man is a bit loopy so i need to go try all 3 flats next door and then next door but one and if they dont have it then im goign to cry and shout at someone.

12:10 am

Its far too late for me to be up and having no intention of being able to go to bed in the next hour or so..I have to get this assignment done otherwise i cant go out on thursday. I knew i should of done it 2 weeks ago when i had all that time off and was laughing about how long i had to do it, i havnt even done enough reading to write an essay, so im just making it up as i go along..

Current Mood: blank
