A week behind on IJ - but it's all good, cos I've got the next 2 days off, and I'm going to read like crazy, whilst also seeing Twilight and going on a zoo/picnic outing. Because having plans is the best way to kill boredom. FACT.
I am tired a lot. In the last week I have seen Inception twice, and seen Tokyo Police Club. Now I can't stop listening to them because their new album is aweesomeee. And I love Joseph Gordon Levitt more than I did after I watched 500 Days of Summer. He is super cool as Arthur. And Inception is seriously good, one of the best films I've seen in a while (good enough to see twice even though I find it difficult to sit in one place for 2.5 hours).
Who knows, maybe all that film watching will improve my concentration for reading. I'm not progressing as quickly as I'd hoped with my pile of books, because I start to concentrate on whatever my other book is (currently Remains of the Day) and then abandon IJ, and vice versa, so it all gets a bit slow unless I make a special effort to give them equal time (which is easier said than done, not least because IJ weighs about 5 times more than most of the other books in my pile, so carrying it around is in itself an effort).
In 3 weeks I will be in Berlin. I'm excited. Need a holiday, then I can be less tired all the time.
My blackbird hasn't run off yet. It seems to be tolerating the amount of noise I make quite well. Although maybe that's because I'm only making noise for a couple of hours a day. It's still pretty vigilant though, watching me all the time. I have no idea how long it takes for a blackbird egg to hatch, but I hope less than 3 weeks, because I don't want to miss it when I'm in Berlin. Maybe I should get a webcam and have a live video feed so I can watch it all back. Except it would be spectacularly boring for the most part, 216 hours of a bird sitting on a nest.
bai.x.
