Trainspotting

I guess the novel isn't so bad. It is an extreamly graphic novel, with lots of cursing. I don't think anyone under 18 should pick up this book. It is explicit content on drug use, but it is very true to life. Welsh didn't clean it up one bit, so I think that is kind of good to give us a glimpse into that sort of culture.

Sick!

You might have the flu too. I didn't know what to do for my flu symptoms so I looked it up on Webmd for some help.
I wish that I could be at home doing these home remedies and reading a book but it's the last week of classes so I'm at school, uncomfortable and all kinds of germy!

More

So these two characters are going to apply for jobs, but they don't want to get them because they want to keep recieving welfare. So they go on interviews to keep the welfare people happy and they botch them so that they won't have to work. This is an interesting tactic. So maybe even if we did require the people on welfare to look for jobs or go to school or do something they wouldn't they would just make it look like they were.

Trainspotting

Thus far this book has offended my sesitive senses and I'm not quite happy with it. It's confusing, it is several drug addicts lives or points of view and it is really weird. I am still plugging away and hoping to finish this by tomorrow. I'm not liking it though and honestly the swearing has really turned me off completly. I don't like cursing and I don't think some of these words should ever be used.

Sunset Song the end

So Chris has been through so much. She makes love to another man that isn't her husband. Her husband dies a trator in France. She's in love again and then he dies too and she is just learning a lot all at once.
I kind of found it sweet that Ewan died because he wanted to get back to her and appologize. All in all I really liked this book and I believe I will be looking at the rest of the trilogy soon.

I'm not too interested in politics. I believe that politicians are the worst kind a sales people in the world and they are only out to serve their own means, if they happen to help a few people along the way oh well. I do wish that this country would branch out a little more and wake up on some very important issues. Soon the Government will be the only ones who can afford gas and milk and cheese. Things that are good for the body just keep getting more expensive. If I could buy 12 oranges for the same price as 12 poptarts I would, but I can't, so do we wonder why we are all fat. I believe it's because we make everything too expensive and it's only available to those with a lot of money. So what politician is going to address these issues?

Sunset Song- the war is on

The Scottish are getting involved in the war. It's time for the World War, the war to end all wars. So the young men around Chris are off to war. Ewan doesn't sound interested at all in going off to war and Chea who is back already seems quite upset with the matter. Chea has changed but so has the land and the people in the town since he left. So it's a dificult deal for everyone, lets see if Ewan has to go to war.

Sunset Song IV

Chris gave birth to a healthy baby boy! She knew a little too well what to do for being a first time mom who had no female help. The nurse and doctor showed up and helped her along though and she did very well. They named the boy Ewan, not very creative but that's OK.

Sunset Song III

OMG! Chris is pregnant! Isn't that wonderful!?! I'm excited for her. So then the town finds out and the biggest busy-bodies have to start a rumor that she was pregnat when they married and she called the cops on him to make him marry her so that her baby wouldn't be a bastard! I'd be mad if I heard that rumor and Ewan was but Chris calmed him down. So now lets see how the birth goes!

Sunset Song II

This story is so very exciting! Chris is a strong girl and she's a great girl. She did love her father, it was a realization when she cleaned and polished her memory after he was dead. She could stay by herself and take care of herself. She could have gone with her Uncle and Aunt and stayed with them and let them marry her off so that she would never have to think for herself but she wants to live her life and be happy.
I'll let you know the ending next. She has met a nice boy and married him for all the worng reasons just like everyone else does.

My biggest weakness

Charmed is my favorite show and I love to watch it and it distracts me from all the work that I'm supposed to be doing! I just can't get enough of that show! It's so wonderful, women kicking but and still doing all the things in life that make us women!

Sunset Song

I've started a book that I'm really enjoying. I was quite confused because the introduction has a totally different voice from the rest of the novel. The story seems to be of one girls experiance living in this farm country in Scotland. It's so very good.
