Oh yea… In case you think I’m very free, keep changing my blogskin and all… I must say that I’m not. I just use the time when some people go and celebrate Vday to do stupid things like this.
Why?
Because I’m a stupid girl. Period.
But well, the point is that the other layout, although pretty, is super hard on the eyes. And knowing how darn long I usually post, I’ve decided to be magnanimous and spare a thought on YOUR eyes.
Yes! You… don’t look around.
Bloody shifty eyes…
Ah… anyway, been reading “Mill on the Floss” by George Eliot these days. (I’m only 1/5 through the book! Help!!!) There’s this character—Maggie that I think is very well sculpted.
Just like me!
Haha!
No… not coz I’m well sculpted like I have greek god features but coz the character is so fully fleshed out and I see parts of myself in her… hmm… or parts of her in me… either way goes.
She’s this character who has deeply entrenched opinions, who does impulsive acts and immediately regrets them, who’s torn between doing what’s socially/morally right and what feels good. Kinda like me…
(I know you’re gonna scold me JY. I know I suck. I have no resolution. I just can’t help it…)
Maggie dies in the end you know. Perhaps only in death would I redemption…
What the… Never mind me… Anyway, back to book review:
George Eliot really is a brilliant author. She (yea, GE is a pseudonym… she’s female) phrases emotions in such a subtle, beautiful, sensitive way. Read the book for yourself? Hah! Probably not… or check out sparknotes.com for the synopsis…
Reading John Donne’s poetry too.
(I’m not trying to show off yea? Ha… I’m a lit major. I’m supposed to be reading more of these high brow things… that explains my receding hairline)
Anyway, Donne’s seduction poems are so titillating. And as I read them, I can almost imagine the little devil on my left shoulder speaking to me. Ha… Free love and perpetual ejaculations galore!
(ref to the stone fountain in http://www.luminarium.org/sevenlit/donne/twickenham.htm )
That’s just the highlights from one English Renaissance tutorial!
Who says the Elizabethans are stuffy?
Back to work for me now…
