Doom, doom, doom. Each step reverberates through my feet. Goddamn is it ever hard work being tall and frankly I'm still short in these heels. From such a dizzy height of five foot four I plummet a little harder, a little faster as I bemoan to my mother about life the universe and towels (the lack thereof this morning). Oh dear, thinks I, one day from my decision to be cheery and my smile has cracked already. Silly, silly little girl.
But there were strawberry tarts and coffee and jelly and ginger beer that burns my throat. No daisies though and since my last ones grew mould (oops) I am daisy-less. It is a sorry state to be in to be sure. My hair was a mess this morning but I found a scarf in the back of my wardrobe and tied it round my head because why not. Led to mutters of 'stupid gypsy don't go raising zombies' (I could explain this but it'll never be as funny retold) from Julie.
So first day of the holidays (har har everyone else) let's set some goals that I will systematically ignore:
1. Write archaeology essay and at least get some background stuff done for my classics essay
2. Get past that stupid bit with the swinging blades in tomb raider. It's so bloody simple and I keep dying in the most ridiculous ways. I WILL get through it, if it kills me.
3. Write french novel, make it less french so as to make sense
4. See the following films: Lars and the Real girl, The Orphange, I'm a cyborg, Persepolis, L'enfant, The maltese falcon, The Last King of Scotland, 21 grams, finish watching Arsenic and Old Lace, Angel-a, Kiss kiss bang bang, GRINDHOUSE and Metropolis (both of them)
5. Read the following books: On the nature of the universe, The aeneid (maybe only one of these depending on what essay I choose), Finnegan's Wake, Shirley, Paradise Lost, Eugene Onegin, Night and Day and finish Carol's Fitzgerald short stories.
6. Finish sewing all my half started projects
7. Finish writing all my half started projects
8. OMG JULIE TIME
9. Watch the remaining 2 and a half seasons of Angel so the comic will make (slightly) more sense and have that wonderful sense of television achievement
10. Make a conscious effort to watch Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell at night instead of rotting my brain watching utter rubbish and then remembering and turning over to watch the credits.
11. Go to the Hunterian Museum
12. Oh there's all those people I promised to have drinks with, ugh social commitments
Shame I'm so goddamn lazy.
