Still warming up... & Bon fete nationales!

It's already the 3rd week and I still cannot adapt to the mountian of readings that I have to complete. Not forgetting the assignments.. Headache. Been getting slight dizzy spells, probably due to the lack of exercise? Feel that my heart pumps harder and faster than it used to. Don't know what's wrong. Serves me right.
Watched Charlie and Chocolate Factory, the chocolate lake with its waterfall reminded me of, strangely, Milo. I'm sure many people have read the book before, but I have never read this particular book by Roald Dahl. I quite like Witches and Matilda. Liked the movie for its fantasy, the accurate portrayal of super spoilt brats and Willy Wonka's sarcastic wit. But, song and dance after each kid disappeared was redundant, it's too much. The song lyrics were pretty silly, but I like! Felt it was rather inventive. Haha. I think the guy who acted as the "what-do-you-call-it?" (small dwarf-like men) should have been paid alot, he was practically present in every scene. The best musical-movie I watched by far is Moulin Rouge, really wanted to watch Chicago though. Watched it with Leb, he didn't like it. He felt it was too absurd and silly, whereas I liked it for it's silliness. It helped regain a little of my child-like wonderment. Ah well, each to their own. *plbbt- sticks tongue out* But, it's a bummer to pay so much for a show you didn't enjoy. So, yea, I understand.
Stuck at home today, trying to complete my readings... *yawn*The family has disappeared since this morning. Sometimes, it feels as if I live alone. When I'm around, nobody is. When I'm not, someone will be at home. I suppose I'm used to being alone. Everybody's off to their own activities. Dad's at IKEA and mum's at my aunt's place. I have no idea why Dad's at IKEA all by himself, I never trusted his taste in things. Hope he doesn't buy something ugly back. :p Happy to be alone at home, getting some peace and quiet with my textbooks, notes and dog. All that is missing is cold weather, a fireplace, a rocking chair and some hot cocoa.
