starsthatshineI'm being a lousy LJ friend but I'm being a busy chica. Right now with a variety of things but most recently I've "moved" back home from the summer cabin and I have an entire day of serious cleaning and sorting ahead of me before I return to school on the 21st. Summer really did go too fast. I'm not yet ready to go back to normality. I need at least a little more time calming down, although some might argue that I've already had sufficient time in order to get back into the school game. Somehow I just feel as though school has put its mark on me and it will take a year before I can finally relax and breathe.
Mind you, I'm not feeling terrible or anything, I just need to have a break I think. Or maybe I'm just desperately chasing the illusion that summers could be what they were before when you were kids and ran around on the lawn without a worry in the world. That's not possible now. People put expectations on you, you have worries now and I have to make long term plans. Still, I wouldn't mind if I could postpone them for about a month.
But how is life treating me? Well, I found this really interesting book at the library a few days back called God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything that I'd previously seen in the book store. Mind you, I'm not really sure if I agree with the statement or anything but I thought I'd read it. Might learn something new or see something in a different light. Who knows, right? I'm also in the process of reading The Sherlock Holmes Adventures or whatever they are called, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I've never had the chance to read Sherlock Holmes before and I must say that I'm in love with the writing. The mysteries themselves aren't perhaps the most tricky ones but the writing... how I adore it.
I'm currently also crushing over Jason Isaacs and The State Within. It's currently airing on Swedish television during the Olympics and I must say that I'm in love. Not only because working at an embassy is something I want to do (which it is :P), but because the plot is so damn... complicated that I'm not sure how things are developing and whether or not they are in our hero's advantage. I really really recommend this mini series. There are only 6-7 episodes (the information vary depending on who you ask, IMDB or well... other sources).
(PS. no idea if that sentence in Spanish in the subject line is correct *goes to improve Spanish*)

I must say that I'm in love with the writing.
That's why I love the stories. The writing is very straightforward and approachable, and I love how everything comes together in the end.
