Reading for aliens.
Its raining outside. The air coming through my window is quite chilly. Its very uncharacteristic of summer for the weather to be so overcast and cold. Almost feels like autumn tonight.
And I shouldn't even be on here writing.
I should be 'working', doing my media planning for this coming school year but procrastination has gotten the better of me tonight. Its not like I don't want to get the work done, its just I have so many other things I would rather be doing right now. Like reading, listening to music, playing guitar or watching a movie.
I've been reading alot lately. Reading for me is somewhat a luxury. I have to say (and in fear of sounding like a total nerd) that books are among some of my few prized possessions. Do you remember that 80's movie 'My stepmother is an alien'? The stepmother played by Kim Basinger would read books by placing her forearm between the pages and read them in seconds. Sometimes I wish I could read like her, I wish I could inhale books. Theres only so many hours in the day.
But the past few days, though I have compromised my working schedule at the expense of this, has been so good. Its been like rediscovering a lost love. Its like seeing an old friend and being reminded why you love them all over again just by being with them. I love reading, its like watching a good film, it makes me feel.
