the birds are riotously happy today, chirping and singing all over the place. it's lifting my mood.
i feel better this morning. the weather is warm, although still wet, and it smells like spring, finally. my heart and stomach aren't resembling pits of concrete and lead, and i'm finding it a very nice change.
i wonder how much of this has to do with the fact that i blew off my responsibilities last night, just to simply and quietly go to sleep.
it was nice. i dreamt of singing practice, and concerts. i woke rested.
i still have all the things to take care of that i did yesterday, but it's all seeming more surmountable than it did before.
in other news, i plan to get rid of my long distance by the end of this week at the latest, so anyone reading this who is not in the frozen wasteland area, and who wants to talk to me, will probably have to do the phoning themselves. sorry, guys. on the bright side, i'm going to do everything i can to get my home internet access back by then.

different worlds
Apr. 9th, 2002 12:27 pmfantasy has always been my favorite genre. i dabble in science fiction, horror, romance. but fantasy has always been my favorite. they're all works of imagination anyway, and i like those worlds better, usually.
but i've been on a different kick lately.
at first i went through my victoriana stage. the victorians were a repressed and scary people, and i find them distressing. no clue why i was diving headfirst into that, but it was amusing.
lately i've been reading herman wouk, chaim potok, naomi ragen.
steeping myself in a tea of orthodox jewish tradition. i have no idea why these books are so appealing to me. i have no connection to judaism besides the fact that i grew up in new york city.
for some reason, a life motivated by faith and study seems very far away, but somehow fantastical and strangely attractive. not something i could ever do, but i enjoy plunging myself into it anyway. weird.
anyway, i've about wrung those dry now, and i'm looking for something meaty to dig my teeth into. reading is, after all, my very favorite drug. does anyone have any exciting fiction recommendations? something gripping with a lot in it is what i'm looking for currently. any genre is acceptable, preferably well written, but definitely a good plot.
