The Philisophical Works of a Pseudo Author

In honour of getting my Very First UK Paycheque yesterday, I bought myself a little present in town today. Since it's the only xmas present (in the physical, materialistic sense) that I'm getting this year, I felt it deserved. It only cost £11 too.

I'm going to start scrapbooking! It seems like a good idea to record the next 3 years in some physical sense (ignoring the three virtual blogs, of course). I wanted something purple (current obsession), but ended up with a black and white one covered in Union flags. It seemed fitting! Now, to begin filling it...a few months late. Don't tell!

Also popped into the library to pick up a few classics. I'm starting with Pride & Prejudice and Frankenstein. Will go from there, but that will keep me busy for the holidays. Also picked up a fiction book that had a quote on the front saying it was loads better than Dan Brown, so I figure I'll give it a go. Something to do with angels? I'm not sure. The synopsis isn't very clear. But 'better than Dan Brown' is worth a look, I guess. [The back had a quote saying it could give Stephenie Meyer a run for her money too, but I figure that one's a given.]

My back is killing me this week. DAMN BED! Just aches like the devil right across my shoulder blades and sitting at a desk in a hard chair is not helping. Finally piled all my blankets on the bed last night to sleep on top of, but so far it hasn't helped. May have to do something about that before week's end. Mattress toppers aren't cheap here. :(

Sherlock Holmes tomorrow! And I will work up the courage to watch The Hobbit trailer. I promise.
