Lost and Stuff.

Dude. I haven’t posted on here in AGES. Right?

Sorry about that. I’ve been caught up in a lot of things – revision, exams, university stuff. …Ebay.

And Lost. Can’t forget Lost.  I’m already wishing away my week off, just to get Episode 4. Srsly. Flashsideways is a terrible idea, if they do what I think they’re going to do and pull a “And the alternate reality becomes reality” bit…which let’s face it, if they’re running with that ending, they might as well make Jack wake up  and call it a dream. (Dallas, anyone?)

That aside, I’m eager to find out what happens in the next episode. I’m grateful that they juxtaposed a Locke episode after a torturous hour with Kate, though. God, I hate her character.

Anyhow. Not a lot going on at the moment. More revision to do…a biology EMPA to think about; and J.S. Mill’s “On Liberty” to read over. Knowing me, I’ll procrastinate and pick up where I left off with Sartre.

Or the less productive (for education purposes) plan. The novel.

Oh sure, I’ve done about 50 different drafts now…and none of them are quite what I’m looking for…but at least I learn an awful lot with every draft. I can now honestly say that I have my main character’s personality perfected – to the point where, if I were a 36-year old Cuban man, I might be able to pull off a convincing Rico and seriously creep people out at my overly vague nature. As for the plot…that’s under the knife at the moment. I’m trying out a few things, and it’s going quite well. Once I realised that sky pirates weren’t really compatable with a terraformed world of bizarre ordeals, I think things started to work a little better.

In the spirit of talking about writing…I’m going to go and do just that. <3 Adios.
