January
2014
January has begun as it should and my new years resolutions (daily squats) have already lost their appeal. I spent midnight New Years on a bus as we journeyed to Shepherds Bush 02 for the pre-historic themed club night. Inflatable dinosaurs hanging from the balconies combined with men in dinosaur costumes dancing/djing on stage helped make us feel very prehistoric and we enjoyed the night dancing, laughing and queuing for the cloakroom. The fact we sang in the New Year on the bus made the whole evening more fun.
I started my READING CHALLENGE on the Goodreads website (which I love) on January 1st. So far I am on my 4th book. This book ‘possession’ is taking me longer to read because of the long poetry sections. I don’t mind reading the poems slowly as I want to appreciate their significances. The book is riveting and combines my interests of poetry, history and fiction.
After seeing ‘The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug’ at the cinema, I finally got round to actually reading ‘the Hobbit’. Everyone always says they have read ‘The Hobbit’ and it was something I’d been meaning to do for a while. The film gave me that final push, as I loved it so much and was left so disgruntled when it finished. I wanted more MORE! So I got more by reading the book and felt satisfied with discovering the ending ect. Though the film did have its flaws, (at times the characters felt very computer generated) the whole lord of the rings world is so appealing to me and is the only real fantasy franchise I truly enjoy.

Book 2 was by Elizabeth Wurtzel who
is probably my favourite writer. I loved her first book ‘Prozac Nation’, it is
one that has never actually left my mind and ‘Bitch: in praise of difficult
women’ was very relevant to me when I was writing my dissertation on women and aging
so loved that too. This book ‘More, Now, Again’ was just as sharp, desperate
and confessional. I love her style and her accounts of despair and self-destruction,
I love everything she writes.
