gina_r_snapeSo, I'm feeling much much better than I did this morning. I've figured out my dream and am more able to focus. Also, I have so much good stuff to look forward to this weekend - including Red Dwarf and the Doctor Who special. :wink, wink: And hopefully some quality time just hanging with MD is in the stars as well.
Mon amour MD bought the book Pride and Prejudice and Zombies for me last weekend. (Read a good synopsis here). He knew I wanted it. :sigh: so thoughtful. Anyway, I started reading it last night and it does NOT disappoint. To paraphrase![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cleolinda and her mocktastic love of Twilight, I love the book so much thus far that I want to snuggle it. The author weaves zombies into the narrative, using 85% of the actual lines from the original book. It's absolutely brilliant.
MD also let me borrow "Whipping Girl: A Transsexual Woman on Sexism and the Scapegoating of Femininity" by Julia Serano. I've only read a short piece of it so far, but Ms. Serano has a strong and intelligent voice with a compelling writing style. Normally I would not consider reading anything this dense whilst prepping for my exam, but it might actually be useful in considering postmodern feminist arguments.
Work is soooo quite today. I'm hoping my boss didn't invite dramatic irony when she popped her head in earlier and said "Where are all the clients today? It's so quiet!"
Fingers crossed that we coast into 5pm. I'm keen to get home and study. Happy Easter and happy Passover, flist.
