cybermuleHad a really busy day yesterday. Managed a whole morning gardening before heavy rain (and a dead frog :() put me off, but I now have a tidy front garden, no collapsed tomato plants and a bunch of drying herbs. Moved my attention inside: neat freaks are coming to tea tomorrow!
*quick break to hyperventilate*
Cleared all my parent's rubbish into the cupbboard under the stairs, and took about 20 empty cardboard boxes to the tip. Other than a quick flick of hte hoover after work, that will have to do.
Finished my Iris Murdoch book. I really liked that - I think I'll go and check some more out of the library. It was fairly gloomy and intense, but kind of worked out all right in the end. Started a book on General Semantics. So far, pretty interesting. Lots of stuff on the nature of sanity and reality, and on the three levels of society. Maybe I'll make notes one day - right now I'm waiting to play UT with my friend from work *drums fingers impatiently*
Oh - went to see Finding Nemo in the evening. Very fun, very trippy. I love cartoons :)
EDIT: cthulu stuff that I want to read some time.

If I ever get around to reading any more, I'll let you know. As it is, I decided to read some fiction for a bit - I just finished And the Ass Saw the Angel, which was neat, if somewhat gloomy.
Reminds me of Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes.
I've not seen that - is it similar to the original?
