Update Blog WIth Little To No Transition

I start school in 6 days now. I just got my books yesterday, or most of them. They weren't all there yet.

I did find a phone to bum off someone. It has no keyboard, so it's back to T9 for me. That is interesting. I taught it the word "pissed"! It wasn't in the word bank but I've used it so many times that it knows it now! It also knows "Joshy" (he's one of my friends. I torture him with this nickname). I'll type in "Josh" and it will suggest I put a "y" at the end of it, haha. I find this highly amusing.

My "read 50 books in one year" resolution is dragging a bit. I've only finished two: Nine Stories and Franny and Zooey, both by J.D. Salinger. I'd never read anything by him before, and I had just started getting into him. I was shocked when he died. Not that shocked, the man was 91, but shocked enough because just when I start to show an interest, he's gone. I even had vauge, daydreamy conversations with him in my head. On his work and writing in general. I was hoping to meet him. I never expected to meet him, I read he was a recluse, but just knowing that it was a possibility, even a very small possibility, was nice. I have Raise High the Roofbeam, Carpenters, and Seymour: an Introduction and The Catcher in the Rye on my card. Plan on starting them as soon as I finish The Little Prince by some dead French guy and The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams.

Oh yes. Recently I;ve decided to try and watch all of the Studio Ghibli films I can get my hands on. So far I've seen Howl's Moving Castle, Castle in the Sky, Princess Mononoke,Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Spirited Away, Whisper of the Heart, Kiki's Delivery Service, and My Neighbor Totoro.
