Wow what a list of adjectives that describe my current state of being. It's no wonder i'm frequently alone nowadays. If i'm all of the above with my already few friends, i would soon have zero!


Today, i collected Alexander Mccall Smith's latest 2 books on Mma Ramotswe, the No. 1 lady detective in Botswana - i'm really excited, can't wait to read about her latest musings and adventures! I love this series best because she is so simple and shrewd, idealistic and practical. For some reason, these seemingly opposing traits co-exist beautifully. AMS makes her very, very likeable and i find myself laughing over his matter-of-fact descriptions which aren't exactly meant to be funny. Wai Han has good taste in books - all her recommendations are excellent! She is a lot more mature than i am. While she could see the value in these classics since sec school, i've only come to appreciate them very recently. Examples: Anne of Green Gables, the Wrinkle in Time series, Twilight...I've given up buying books but i willingly acquired the entire set of each of the above series.

Today is also a day of a "first" - i caught a movie by myself! Having watched a ridiculous number of movies this month, there isn't any show i badly wanted to see. Just needed some alone time [strange. i'm already alone a lot] outside, not sitting at my desk halfheartedly reading notes and playing spider solitaire every 2 seconds. Paris Hilton in the Hottie and the Nottie - as you can probably guess, it isn't even a good chick flick, but woah, is that girl oozing sex appeal or what! Aphrodite must have been super generous with her, she is smokin' hot

I wouldn't call those teenage books "mature" reading haha but somehow they're more entertaining than many adult novels. I'm addicted to AMS's Precious Ramotswe series too. it's good that I took your advice to re-read the first book again!
