Next book

So I finished the novel Neverwhere in record time. I still got it YEAH!!! I must say I am impressed on how the writer kept me intrigued through out the whole book (I get bored quite easily). My only problem is with the ending, it is not so realistic if I have to say so myself. Come on who would chose living in the sewage system and not taking a bath or eating some unrecognisable things for lunch over a wonderful bubble bath, good paying job and amazing shoes? Just because the latter is said to be boring.

WHO!!!!?

Anywhere that is a fantasy book so I cannot compare it to real life, did I mention the author also wrote Stardust. I've watched the movie, I wonder what the book would be like. This brings me to the next novel I have lined up for next week.

I've watched the movie where the very hot actor Jim Caviezel (just Googled his name I'm really bad with names of actors and musicians) stared. Personally I hate reading a book after I've watched the movie made from it because It dulls my imaginative abilities. I will make an exception with this novel. I don't have to give a preview or summary of what this book is about I'm sure most people know about it already. This read will be to discover how flawed the movie was in comparison to the novel.

Technically I should start reading the book today but I will not because its a Friday. Although I have absolutely no plans to go anywhere I still stick to my principle which is "be lazy on Fridays, its the start of a weekend". So today I'll get the popcorn and stretch out on my sofa bed and watch some old movies on TV.

Enjoy your weekend

Beginning of Adulting

It has been a while since I wrote. I was basically lazy to write anything. I have no real reason why I haven't shared my thoughts. A lot has happened since the last time, I have finally finished school, I got a job and basically I am becoming an adult. That is something I really do not feel I want to be; an adult. It is not the best life I must say. There are bills to pay, there are co-workers to deal with, there are groceries to buy and worst of all I have to go to bed early so I can wake up early to go to work. Why am I torturing myself in this way? I love my job. It is a weird thing to say in a world where people are constantly complaining about their work and life. I enjoy what I do and how I touch lives. As a child I was facinated by electricity. I wanted to know where it came from, how it was made and why we depended so much on it. My facination has not died, in fact every time I pass a high tension transmission line I become happy. Something so magnificient can kill in...

I'm back

Image
I have not written for a long time. My excuse is that I have been busy. The truth is, I do not know what to write. Several things have happened in the past months I have not written. I went home i.e. Nigeria and came back, I have finished my programming and hoping to complete my thesis soon, and I have also made new friends. I must say I have a better rapport with my supervisor now. I do not know if he is glad I am finally leaving or if he is really making an effort to have a better understanding of me. I stand out in my study group because I have refused to let what I study define what wear or eat or say. I have refused to look like all those women engineers that put on only a pair of jeans and a t-shirt with boots. I wear heels, use make up, wear skirts and I even let my hair down sometimes. The picture is how I look today. I felt gorgeous and I thought to myself, why don't I look it? I promise I am back to writing about MY THOUGHTS

Vacation

Image
I never understood people who packed up their bags and decide to go for a 2 week vacation in the middle of the year. I totally did not get why they would waste so much money. However I am beginning to understand the importance of just getting away. To say this year has been hectic is an understatement.  I have known what it is to be helpless and homeless at the same time..............  I have been called a fool and an idiot in so many words and ways...................  I have been told how incompetent I am................................................ I do not even want to go into my own personal self-doubt that hunts me day and night (but mostly at night because its just more scary then, I tell you these self-doubts are smart little things eh ).... All that whining above is to give a justification of why I needed a break, I needed to get out, I needed to escape even if it would be just for a few days. And I got my reason to tour the world Manchester a...
