polka dots

well its friday evenings. i have no idea what the weekend holds for me. tonight turned out fairly different to how i expected except for stopping at the goat. i'm a goataholic. hahahahaa. not to be confused with a goat-groupie. i finished he's just not that into you while i was there. i read it in like 2 days. granted its only like 3/4 of an inch thick (i'm a graphic designer. i work in inches. give me inches or give me death) but i still delight in that because it proves melinda's theory wrong. she said i haven't read much since i started pspd, but i beg to differ. i told her that it all depends on the book, and lets face it... memoirs of a geisha (although a great book) wasn't one that really gripped me that i longed to read it as soon as i finished work. it didn't consume my mind like others have. ok so since starting pspd in october i've read the following books:
• how to dump a guy
• (something else that i can't remember)
• our lady of the lost and found (another one that took a long time but only because of the historical parts that broke up the story and slowed down my pace. once i started skipping them – they weren't essential to the plot – i sped right through it)
• bridget jones' diary: the edge of reason
• (possibly something else – i feel like there was cushion between these two)
• memoirs of geisha
• he's just not that into you
so there. that's definately 5 but probably 7 books. not bad. can anyone think of any i've forgotten? i like to read aloud to melinda. it drives her crazy. the best was reading her excerpts from the christian pirate trilogy i was reading. hahahahaha. oh man, i love pirates.

so what am i reading next? well beckie lent me this book about swearing. i don't even remember why, but i accidentally forgot it at rhonda's once. thankfully isaac didn't pick it up. oh dear. its basically "a good look at bad language". as much as it intrigues me, it also kind of makes my eyes roll back into my head. i hope i don't start it and then take 6 months to read it. i'm not one for 'non-fiction' books. unless they're witty like he's just not that into you. that book also made me feel really clever. anyways, enough about books. this must be boring you.

ok well i didn't want to draw this to your attention, but i added a web meter to my blog. i totally copied the idea from dawna (i know a good idea when i steal it). i know of several people who visit regularly but are silent participants (like joanna, sarah, michelle, umm who else... i don't know they're silent). melissa once said "i bet 50 people visit your blog daily". i don't know about that, but i did count about 20 people that i could think of. however, that comment did make me wonder and now i'll have a more accurate idea. it'll also be cool to see by what links they're coming and stuff. i'm not trying to identify you, if you've been stalking me don't worry i'm not going to expose you. whatever, i don't care, there's no harm done. so don't feel weird about this. i'm not trying to spy on you spying on me.

when there's no way out, the only way out is to give in
how i love to give in
