Attempting to make blogging part of my daily routine...Likelihood: 5 on scale 1-10...O'well...It's an effort anyways.

Blah.

But! It is Friday and that is surely something to be excited about...except P has to work all weekend. The mismatched schedule thing is definitely not optimal, but at least I get to sleep in and relax. I have decided to take up my favorite hobby of leisure reading again...seems that since I've become serious with P I have not made too much time for these such activities. Here is the list of books that are on my list to finish/read.
Finish:
Ishmeal

Notes from the Underground
The man who mistook his wife for a hat

Read:
Broca's Brain
Okay! Ready!
The unbearable lightness of being
