I realized a long time ago that I love the idea of a diary more than I love the actual writing of it. Or maybe I'm just too lazy. Or maybe there's not much in my boring life to talk about. Or perhaps I'm not yet used to prosebox.
This year seems like a complete breakdown of everything I thought I was happened. My reading is going terrible. I feel about ready to quit fiction, again, maybe this time for real. Or maybe I should stop being pretentious and read the crap I actually like instead or trying to force myself to read the things my snobish self thinks I should like.
Short story is that after having finished The Gulag Archipelago (abridged version) I wanted a more definitive history of communism so I began reading Rise and Fall of Communims by Archie Brown. And when searching for that on goodreads I came across Rise and Fall of the Third Reich so I might read that afterwards. Currently am also reading The Stand by Stephen King. At the beginning I was really into it, the part where the disease spread but now, when everyone's dead, it's just dull and if things don't pick up I might just abandon it altogether. Perhaps I should just focus on non-fiction. I don't know.
As for my German. I feel I have improved, soon we'll have the one year anniversary of my deciding to try and learn the language, finally, and I said to myself if I keep at this that by next year I could really know it and instead I've just been lazy but ever since finding Memrise I have made a lot more improvement so maybe if this August I say - by next year I will know the language then maybe this time it will come true.
This summer has just been hectic and I can't wait for things to go back as they were, in our old routine because I feel I'm on the breaking point.
Beyond that, today I'll go to see Guardians of the Galaxy and it looks like it will be packed. Also thank God that August is here. I really don't like the summer blockbuster season, just crap with few good movies in between. Guardians of the Galaxy will be the first movie in weeks that I actually wanted to see rather than just something that's least bad than the rest of the crap. Maybe now that summer is slowly ending we'll finally see some good movies again.
