extemporally: ([bowie] thin white duke)
Worst last day ever - they are always anticlimactic. Work done today: NOTHING. :( :( :( life is the worst, cry cry cry, I am the least prepared it is possible to be for this coming term, etc. Fuckkk.

I did read books though.

Ten Days In A Mad-House, by Nellie Bly.

Journalistic expose of a lunatic asylum for women at the end of the nineteenth-century. Warning for discussion of abuse - quotation, at length, of passage containing abusive content inside. )

The Insufferable Gaucho, by Roberto Bolano.

Five short stories and two essays. Uneven - some definite spots of brilliance but other parts were pretty disappointing. )

OH ANOTHER THING I AM PLEASED ABOUT: my laptop, which I have for the past month given up on persuading to emit any sort of productie sound whatsoever, totally works the volume when you plug in headphones. I mean I still need to get it fixed at some point, but! This means that once I'm back in BBC iPlayer territory I totally get to listen to the BBC 6's Happy Birthday Bowie I mean nbd not that I'm a huge fan of his or whatever


Bad Girls In Love, by Cynthia Voigt | Go Jump In The Pool, Beware The Fish, The War With Mr Wizzle, The Zucchini Warriors, Macdonald Hall Goes Hollywood, Something Fishy At Macdonald Hall, A Semester In The Life of A Garbage Bag, Don't Care High, I Want To Go Home, Son of Interflux, & Who Is Bugs Potter?, by Gordon Korman | Izzy, Willy-Nilly, by Cynthia Voigt
