After a week inside this apartment, I finally went to the doctor and, apparently, all is well. It's quite funny, but I actually feel weird no longer having my tonsils (not that I'll miss them in the least).

Very profitable week, culturally speaking. Watched less movies than I thought I would, but definitely read more than I ever did in a week (when it came to number of books per day).

Thank you everyone that payed a visit ([livejournal.com profile] magnun, [livejournal.com profile] deadcinderella, [livejournal.com profile] wendybarrie_, [livejournal.com profile] _isarma_, [livejournal.com profile] porn_kid, and [livejournal.com profile] christycorr [livejournal.com profile] lian_moony), all of those that meant to, but couldn't for some reason ([livejournal.com profile] dehds and [livejournal.com profile] x_disorder_x, especially), and all the others that wished me luck and the like.

Adding up:

[books]
The Thorn Birds, Collen McCullough
Reaper Man, Terry Pratchett
Um certo capitão Rodrigo, Erico Veríssimo
Guards! Guards!, Terry Pratchett
Animal Farm, George Orwell

[movies]
All the President's Men (1976), Alan J. Pakula
2001: a Space Odyssey (1968), Staley Kubrick

[series]
Six Feet Under (third season), Alan Ball

On side note, I've found this at [livejournal.com profile] macintosh. All the credits to [livejournal.com profile] gmajor.




Quite Funny. *grins*

See you people in Rio.

I'm glad to hear everything is well. I thought it would be, but you never know of course! So yeah, I'm really glad that you're alright and yay for people coming over. And you read quite some books indeed! They sound pretty interesting (I read a part of animal farm though).

Animal Farm is great! Can't compare to 1984, of course, but it's great in its own fashion.

You should look for the Pratchett books up there, though. They're very popular in Europe. It's a great author. He satyrizes Tolkien and the like. A genius, I must say. *nods*

You like bowling, don't you, Montag?

If you don't want a man unhappy politically, don't give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none. If the government is inefficient, topheavy, and tax-mad, better it be all those than that people worry over it. Peace, Montag. Give the people contests they win by remembering the words to more popular songs or the names of state capitals or how much corn Iowa grew last year. Cram them full of noncombustible data, chock them so damned full of 'facts' they feel stuffed, but absolutely 'brilliant' with information. Then they'll feel like they're thinking, they'll get a sense of motion without moving. And they'll be happy, because facts of that sort don't change. Don't give them any slippery stuff like philosophy or sociology to tie things up with. That way lies melancholy.
