Screw Nadine Gordimer

Aussie word of the day: Togs - Swimsuit (do not ask me why)

The title refers to the fact that after a full week of trying (pointlessly) to write a paper about Nadine Gordimer's The Pickup, I have decided to scrap the one page I've managed to crappily produce, and switch over to Jeanette Winterson's Sexing the Cherry. It's a more difficult book in that it's trippy as hell, but it has a lot more material for my prompt.

I had a research methods midterm today, which I feel went pretty well. Got some solid work done on my lab report, so I felt compelled to take some well-earned time off with Corissa and go see V for Vendetta. REEEEALLY good movie, in my opinion. The filming was incredible. I can’t even explain…parts of it just moved me so much. I recommend it highly. Now I must get back to work, but I will leave you with a little poetic contribution:

Cheating

There are times I think to cheating
But oh the risk I run
It would tear me up inside
And all the shame I'd have to hide
Of the weakness of my wanting
The frailty of my constitution
That I fail to stay true
To what's done me so good
In seeking that clandestine thrill
Of tasting the spoils I've so long denied
Oh the temptation of lustful glances
And of offers from all directions
How I know I'd swell inside with warmth
For the passion of forgotten flavor
And the chance to oh so secretly savor...
Yes there are times I think to cheating
By eating wheat, what did you think?

Hahaha, April fools, kids. Goodnight.
