it is so funny because even though i have two jobs now i am still not working enough. i work one day this week at kohl's, and one at lb plus one day that i may have to come in for. i have no doubt that november is going to be insane but for now i randomly have all this free time! perhaps i should get a third job. ha. ha.
i finished maurice by em forster the other day. it was lovely. i usually have a hard time getting through books written in older prose because they're a bit hard to get into [it's why i've only ever read pride and prejudice and none of jane austen's other works], but for some reason i love forster's writing. it's so simple but gorgeous and his characters are relatable and real even though they're so far away, time-wise. and a good portion of this book is in cambridge. i do love cambridge. oh and alec says 'fuck'! edwardian people swearing is endlessly entertaining. i also watched the movie. i really liked it, much more than i liked the movie version of a room with a view. james wilby was an awesome maurice, though he needed to have the moustache for longer. it is so funny, it's like he and hugh grant have a great moustache swap midway through the movie. oh and hugh grant made me feel bad for clive! i didn't think it was possible. way to go, young hugh grant. also, i love that according to this wikipedia article, forster showed one of the manuscripts to christopher isherwood before it was published. aww. auden/forster/isherwood = ot3!
hogwarts party on friday! oh snap!
