The new blog!

So, I'm aware that I pretty much started this blog as a place to rant about stuff. I've decided to re-purpose it though. Weird Lame Interesting Awesome...Life will now be more of a place where I'll talk about stuff happening in my life and what's on my mind. This is different from my other blogs, Uncertain Knight, and On a Lighter Note, though because in Uncertain Knight I post more about moments of confusion, hope, joy, or disappointment, rather vaguely. In On a Lighter Note I post more of just random happy thoughts. Here though, I want to be more specific about things I'm doing in hope that this is more relatable and enjoyable than just rants.

So, anyways, today:
Monday. Back to life as I know it. I read an excerpt written by a pilgrim back in the day. It was rather dry, but in the least, understandable. I've begun watching Les Misérables (the 1998 movie version). So far I'm in love with it. I've been told it's horrible compared to the book, so I do hope that someday I will read the book, but I'm an incredibly slow reader and procrastinate. I'll have books checked out of the library for a month before I even pick them up. Then I'll probably read them for about 5 minutes a day between places to be. I really need to have a chunk of time trapped in a waiting room or something to actually force myself to read. I have been studying themes in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn though. It's quite interesting to observe Huck's maturity throughout the novel, along with his differences to Tom, and satire. I love writing, but I don't know how I could ever think of all these themes and incorporate them into my writing!
I'm listening to Drive A, at the moment. I've never listened to Drive A before now, but I've seen them advertised everywhere in the magazine I read and finally decided to take a listen (note that this is about 3 months after I noticed their adds). They're pretty good!
