Spent a lovely weekend reading books, etc. Went to library and B&N to read and get lots of books! I recommend Two Princess of Bamarre by Gail Carson Levine, same woman who wrote Ella Enchanted. What else did I read? Only in London and something else that I absolutely cannot remember. But I bought some classics AND I borrowed the first volume of the Arabian Nights. So yay me.
I do NOT want to be in school right now. Then again, I never do. So I should stop saying that.
Art -- Do I like Vincent Van Gogh's "Starry Night" only because it's famous? Would I have even noticed it if it was, say, by a local artist whom nobody knew anything about? The same applies to Monet, Degas, Matisse-- I can't help feeling that I am really influenced by how famous they are..
