So pretty much the first thing I did today was start making the cake. At times it did not go as smoothly as I had expected but then it never does when you are trying something new. So they left. ...

So today I finished reading Macbeth after taking an embarrassingly long time to do it. This just sucks and things are just getting worse. How am I going to keep up my reading like this. Played M...

Felt very tired today. Still read, a bit, but not enough. I have no idea what is going on. Hopefully next month will be better for my reading. Feel so very physically tired but I have no idea why...

So my reading of The Portrait of a Lady is not going so well. I'm really starting to grow against late 19th century and early 20th century English literature. A lot of books of this period are re...

So today I, finally, finished re-reading The Lord of the Rings. The ending made me emotional. The book does have a lot of those moments where it's just people walking around and it's kind of bori...
