Most of what I write in here is such rubbish. Random bits of my life or musings, nothing entirely substantial.
I'm quite tired at the moment. I slept 3 hours last night and today me and my grandparents went to pick up my sister from Baycliff health camp. Rather uneventful. I shopped a bit in Marquette. I have a couple new shirts that I got on sale for like $3 apiece.
I started reading Angels and Demons by Dan Brown. (same person who wrote the Da Vinci Code). I'm half done with it now. I found it to be very interesting. I've done a fair amount of reading over this summer, and this book has the most meat to it at least since I read LOTR ROTK in May. I read the Harry Potter series (except the most recent one) which is very entertaining. I read a few Kay Scarpetta novels by Patricia Cornwell. It's much like CSI. I read Northern Lights. I was fond of that book too.
Earlier I thought up very precise dissections of these books. I'm much to tired to write them up though. Plus, the internal monologues I have while walking are much more eloquent when I first think of them. I rather dislike repeating myself, which is what attempting to put down an hour and a half of musings would be.
One point though that I want to say about differences between these books and Angels and Demons. I approach reading them differently. A book like Northern Lights I read as an artist... as an author. Not only am I trying to think of the outcome in just the sense of the storyline, I'm thinking 'how would I write the end of this book? Who would I pin as the killer?' In case you want to read the book, I won't reveal the identity... But he was an early favorite of mine to be the killer. It just seemed logical to me as an author for it to be him.
I can usually figure out who it is in stories like that, movies like that, whatever. I'm too tired to explain my logic. Really I am. But I think I spend entirely too much time sometimes anticipating what the author is thinking.
Angels and Demons is different. I'm not trying to pick out a killer from a Rogues Gallery, I'm following all this information, information which is based on factual things. Interesting.
I have a lot to say about the religious subject matter too. But too tired. That and I have a headache. And I have to work tomorrow.
I have to work tomorrow, and I'm going to an interview at Subway right before I start at IGA. I hate IGA, I would much rather work at Subway I think. I'm not going to hurt my wrists slinging subs around for one thing.
I don't know if it's worth starting though, as school is starting in a few weeks. And I wanted some time off before school started. However, Subway pays more than IGA and I could potentially not hate it. It could be temporary or something... I dunno. I'm incoherently tired, and when I got the offer to come in I thought it would be best to not let the opportunity not pass me by. I can always say that I'm sorry, but I'm not interested.
Wow, rambling. Tired. My train of thought is unraveling.
I thought of a quote though. A quote of Einstein actually 'Why do I always get my best ideas while shaving?'. Same holds true for me in a way. Why do I always think of the most interesting things while I'm out walking? Ok, so actually it makes sense, but why can't I think of anything interesting to say once I'm sitting before a pad of paper or in front of a keyboard? Doesn't that give me license to be just as introspective? It's not the same though.
I think this is why I'm so prone to procrastinating eons about writing letters or emails. I much prefer being in the moment, talking to the subject in real time. In person, over IM, or the phone.
However, like I said, my train of thought is unraveling. I've sort of kept it together long enough to write this entry, which I'm sure is unintelligible anyway...
