The Light Life

I have not done this blog right.

I have shirked my blogging duties and grossly and selfishly let down my readership (population: 2)

What have I been up to, what have I been up to.

On the record, I've been looking for an apartment for next year, finishing up financial stuff for law school, planning the boston/india/ny trip, having family visit/visit family.

Off the record I've been watching movies, lazing around on the balcony, eating twizzlers and m and ms, and reading all the P.G. Wodehouse I can get my hands on from North York Public Library. I don't remember how I started--it's all been a blur. But I've moved on from Jeeves and Wooster to embrace anything Lord Emsworth/Blandings Castle and Psmith. I am enamoured. I enjoy it the way I think I'm supposed to enjoy chicklit and don't. P.G. Wodehouse's writing is so light and frivolous and I think he's the best comic writer I've ever read. Very rarely am I able to laugh out loud at books, but the dry British humor actually kills me.

Somehow I'm keeping busy and really enjoying life and what's incredibly exciting right now is my trip to boston on the 16th and then off to India! I am SO excited to see everyone in boston and stay with becky and live it up for a few days. And I've been looking forward to this for so long I'm surprised that it's right around the corner. I'll be volunteering in India but probably taking side trips to Dharjeeling and Amritsar EXXCCIIITTTINNGG.

I'll be perfectly honest--not a lot has been going on because I am a dorky bookworm who is obsessed with the antics of Bertie Wooster, Gussie Fink-Nottle and Catsmeat Potter-Pirbright. Although--my sister visited last weekend and it was really fun. We cooked a complicated meal, chilled around, watched movies, and went shopping. My grandparents, aunt and uncle and cousin also visited so it was a crazy weekend and we all went to see spidey 3 on imax which was awesome (the imax, not so much the movie).

I'll just put all the cards on the table--I'm probably not going to write in this for a long time but I will try to write from India. Even this entry was hard to write, probably since I have not been very contemplative but rather idling away the hours in blissful sloth. Ah well.

I feel fulfilled! At least a little. I have been missing your blog dearly... plus I think my ship has blocked facebook because I havent been able to get on there to stalk you, either. I wish I were going to Boston, India, and NY with you, but alas, I will be here in Canadian waters (OK actually they are international) hanging out with your sea-going brethren. In conclusion, you make me want to read some PG Wodehouse.
