Oh, Lent

[annundriel]

Today I have:

- not gone to church
- eaten meat
- had a Pepsi
- had Peanut Butter M&Ms
- read three long-ish pieces of fanfiction (two featuring and one including one or more homosexual relationships).

I am a bad Catholic. Cheers!

I did, however, finish my exploratory narrative. Mostly at any rate. It occurs to me that I have until 4 PM on Friday to turn it in. Hmm. Now I just have to prepare my mini-presentation on my topic and research for tomorrow and I am good to go. Shouldn't be too hard. Five to six minutes talking about what my question/topic is, what I'm reading to research it, and what my possible thesis will be. Pretty easy.

Why isn't Yahoo cooperating today?

Going to try and read all of Death in Venice for class tomorrow. We only have to read about half of it I think, but I'm already a third or so of the way into it and would really like to finish it before the professor has a chance to ruin the end for me. So far I think it's lovely.

Lent started Wednesday. It really snuck up on me this year.

Goldman "remembered" the book as it was narrated to him by his father as an exciting adventure tale, without the complex political overtones. His work is a recreation of the abridgement of his father. The book, in fact, is entirely Goldman's work, and Morgenstern and his "original version" never existed.

That's still a little confusing. Because at first it's like, "Well, he sort of remembered a version of it." And then it's all, "No, it's all fake." In the same paragraph.

Goldman's just generally brilliant.

I'm also vaguely frighted your icon is going to come beat me up or something. I don't know. Possibly I'm speel deprived.

I think the author of the Wikipedia thing was trying to remind the reader that as they're reading TPB, Goldman keeps saying he remembers his father reading this part or that or doing this... but then it confirms that he's just making all of the remembering up since he wrote the entire thing.

Really really really fuckin weird.... was randomly looking up Goldman again and his bio has changed from yesterday when I posted that, so the excerpt I have given you, no longer exists in Wikipedia. Weird.

TRAP!

See, I feel like I've read something like the excerpt you posted elsewhere. I'm not sure where, but it seems really familiar. That's really strange that it's gone from Wikipedia now.

Also, omg, I love your new Mal icons.
