Brick Lane = Bloody amazing film, but the book was better and more colourful. Rented it from the Library today (just signed up to get a library card - Sam says I am a geek but I don't care!) Chanu was hilarious; v. irritating and quite grotesque, but sweet at the same time. Karim was v. yummy! The whole thing was beautiful and made me cry in several places.
Don't have to go to school tomorrow as I have transferred onto a different English Literature course, and there is no lesson tomorrow. All my other subjects have frees, so I will be able to sit at home all day and do absolutely shit all. Maybe I will read all day. Or perhaps I will go into town and spend a lot of money in New Look. Or maybe I'll just stay in bed. It doesn't matter, I have no educational obligations. I am free for another day.
I've had a really great week so far, I've had a lot of time to myself but it's been really nice. I've just finished reading Chocolat by Joanne Harris and I have to say that as well as being a nice antidote to my weather-related melancholy, it's the most charming book I've ever read, and it's kind of crappified every other book I've tried to begin reading since. I don't think any other authors write with such luxurious words. I want to eat them all up! I like the fact that the whole thing celebrates self-indulgence and earthly pleasures; I refuse to believe that doing things that make you feel good is a sin. This book is so right. God made chocolate, ffs. I don't think he minds if you stuff your face with it. That's kind of the whole point.
In other news, me and Sam discovered spaghetti hoop bagueuttes the other day, which I highly recommend. We were stuck inside on the rainiest Tuesday I have ever known, and had a bit of CARB FEST to cheer ourselves up. V. bad for diet, but do I care?
NO
