Alternating between denial and anger
Feb. 16th, 2004 05:04 pmNot much to report.
The petition had over 24000 signatures when I last looked, although apparently God itself has deigned to sign as well, but hey, stranger things have happened ;)
Instead of wallowing, I'm just going to do a simple book rec:
'The Piano Tuner' by David Mason (I think).
Brilliant book, the writing is so lovely you just want to cry, the main character is quiet and gentle yet still a very strong character, and, apparently, you really do feel like you're in Burma. I've never been myself, but I certainly got drawn in to a place full of colour and dust and heat and rain... *sigh*
Of course, when I mentioned how much I loved this book over a family lunch, in particular saying how I thought the main character was just lovely, my brother's reaction was: 'So he's just like Wesley then?'
Pfft. Well, okay, there are the vaguest similarities. Both characters are male, and English, and tend to be a little quiet and well-spoken. But other than that? No. For one thing Edgar Drake is deep down quite happy and content with himself and who he is and what he can do. Enough said.
Right. Back to decyphering nuclear homework. What fun.
