if you like good music.

And if you like good music x 6, let's have it up for How Six Songs Collide:

Essentially, this is kind of like my musical life. Songs spanning from secondary school (Pachebel) to angsty Five for Fighting in my mid-teens, and my re-curring obsession with Jason Mraz.

think before you count us out

I really should be writing my essay on Intrinsic Value rather than er, trying to finish my background readings on it and thinking of where to put postcards I have yet to procure. (Really, at the moment all that is on my mind is taking off the Shounen Jump postcards I have stuck above my table and replacing them with more calm soothing images, like stylized bunnies and bears. =A=;;)

Otherwise I should be finishing Lighthouse which I have been putting of reading and reading Middlemarch instead. I like stream of consciousness novels usually, but this semester, I can't handle them with my own stream of conscious messed up. It's like having five voices in my head, when I read them. Gosh.

Really behind in my work; I'll have to use my term break to chiong all my excess readings and read more extra stuffs in order to write beautiful essays for my modules. I really have the itch to create: to write a whole lot this semester. It's making me very restless but I can't do anything until I have enough research.

Which reminds me, I need to head down to Kinokuniya to pick up the Alice books and Tess if the co-op doesn't have them tomorrow.

So anyway, the prescribed readings on whether nature has an intrinsic value or not has been driving me crazy. Perhaps I'm just not smart enough but I detest the roundabout ways Partridge tries to put across his argument. It just makes me want to side with Rolston just because I can relate to him better. Ugh. 800 words on anthropocentrism. Not my cup of tea, especially when I missed the lecture on it but I'll try and churn something out. Before tomorrow ends. x_x

(By the way, BUMP OF CHICKEN has been my latest Japanese music (not so guilty) pleasure! I enjoy their music a lot~)

He was smiling at her, quizzically, as if he were ridiculing her gently for being asleep in broad daylight, but at the same time he was thinking, Go on reading. You don't look sad now, he thought.

- To the Lighthouse, Virginia Woolf

"Go on reading. You don't look sad now."

It's lines like these that I keep ploughing through the novel. Lighthouse is something I'd never want to read because I had to. It's the kind of novel where I'd like to have picked up on a slightly rainy (mostly foggy) day and settle in the armchair in the living room, turn on the reading light and read. Not something that I have to read for class.
