so last thursday i went to the library for the first time in about a year (i dont count the student center at my school as a library). when i only intended to borrow two books but two quickly turned into five. currently im reading a wizard from earthsea, the first book of the earthsea series by Ursula Le Guin that inspired tales from earthsea. i'm reading the series because of the movie. i borrowed three 3 f. scott fitzgerald books (this side of paradise, the beautiful and the damned, and a collection of short stories) because now i am secretly obsessed with f. scott fitzgerald and the jazz age in general. hell, i even started to LISTEN to jazz... (even though it is modern, japanese jazz...don't ask)

well that i wanted to say. plus the fact i unneccessarily mentioned my tumblr's url again after having mentioned it in a prior entry. oh well.
