The Sky Is Falling Down

Yes…the sky is falling down..either that or you’re going to strike it big with a lottery ticket today. The impossible has just happened..
I JUST BOUGHT BOOKS!
Not 1, not 2…but 5! You must think that I am some kind of a whack job or something right? Well honestly, if you know me…I NEVER buy books. Reading a book has never seemed to interest me since I was young. I’ve been doing most of my reading on the internet, and if you ask me to read a Harry Potter book or any novel for that matter…I rather go hang myself because my eyes will get all tired…and I will fall asleep within the first few pages. I kid you not!
So why start now?…well…remember I told you I needed to do something different a few post back?…well..one thing I’m going to try is reading. I don’t think I can just read any novel or book, but I think the book must be of a specific topic or something that interests me rather than reading a story and trying to visualize what’s going on. I like to see visuals..that’s why I’m more likely to read a magazine or the newspapers as oppose to reading a book. So, you must be wondering what books that I got right?…well..I got these..
the books I bought..
Now if you noticed, these are books are on marketing, social technologies, economy and self improvement. I know, it’s boring to some people because it’s not your typical lovey dovey story or fantasy kind of books…but I am interested in these topics. My thinking is this: maybe if I try reading something that I’m interested in…I might break my personal record of actually finishing a chapter or two before falling asleep. Having said that…let’s see how long this “phase” will last. At the mean time…I’ll turn into “The Beast” these few weeks.

Weekend Addiction
by DeM0NiCk on January 22, 2008, under Tidbits
A lot of people have asked me..”Why do I sleep so late?? Are you working??” Well…not exactly. Of late, I have been following a lot of TV series, all thanks to the influence of friends and fellow colleagues and I got to say, it’s a really REALLY good way to kill time, and IT’S FUCKING ADDICTIVE!! I can spend the whole weekend locked up in my room watching, with the air conditioning on, munching on snacks (and occasionally alcohol) and in the comfort of my bed. It also does help if your PC is hooked up to an entertainment system which creates a better viewing experience ;)
These are some of the series that I’m currently following:
1. Dexter (Season 1 & 2)
2. Desperate Housewives (Season 4)
3. Nip/Tuck (Season 5)
4. Smallville (Season 7)
5. Cashmere Mafia (Season 1)
6. The 4400 (Season 3 & 4)
7. The L Word (Season 5)
8. Gossip Girl (Season 1)
So as you can see, I literally can be a hermit crab and stay in my shell for the whole weekend distancing myself from the world. Oh, and on top of all these TV series, I also got loads of downloaded movies to watch as well. Which reminds me…let me know if anyone wants any of the series above. Okok…I’m off now to watch some now…. :p
