Almost the End

The end of my five-day weekend specifically. And today was the epitome of those 5 days, as it involved a small amount of work, but a large amount of doing nothing. And this is partly post procrastination, extended by other things. See next post.

I woke up around 7, and went and watched some TV, and went on my laptop. After breakfast, around 8, I caused myself a lot of pain. In a long story short, I was pretending to be the Avatar (what? Nobody was watching and I figure powers like that would be awesome.), and 'earth-bending' caused me to whack my finger on a doorknob, thus making a blood blister pop up within 10 seconds and hurting me a lot. I am a very clumsy person. But, I knew that already. Around 9, Mum and I went to partly mow the lawns (I can't say no, or I don't get my magazine subscription renewed.). By 'partly,' I mean we just took the top of the grass off so the rest could dry (not my idea, of course), and we could mow it later. Apparently. As usual, I brought my iPod out, and I listened to some music. I listened to 'So Fresh: The Hits of Spring 2008,' which is quickly becoming a big favourite of mine (I mean, with 'Black & Gold,' 'Disturbia' and 'White Noise' on it, is a no-brainer).

When that was done, I went inside, and then for a while (read: 12 hours), I just played DS, went on my laptop and watched TV (Masterchef, the footy, and so on, obviously not in that order). Then around 9, as we didn't have to go to school on Monday, we all watched Rove. I love that show. Then I read for a while (I read a Bill Bryson book, and those are the funniest you will ever read), and then it was time for bed.

Hmm. I want to do another list. But I have no idea on what to do it. *thinks* Aha! Inspired by my previous paragraph, meet; my favorite authors, in no particular order:
*Bill Bryson: Just to get it out of the way. Funniest author I have ever read; his books are epic. Read them. Read them now.
*Brian Greene: You may not know who he is, but he writes about string theory. Me being a great big (figure of speech!) physics nerd, I love the books, but most others would not.
*Stephenie Meyer: This is one of those 'love-her-or-hate-her' topics. You either love the books (some occasionally worshipping them), or you despise them. I am in the former category; they are good books.
*Matthew Reilly: His books are full of action, they read really quickly, and he's Australian. What more can you ask for (answer: for his new book to be out sooner)?
*Jeffrey Archer: They are really well-written, they're in-depth, and he can write long books without going off-topic. That is the mark of a good author.
*Bryce Courtenay: Similar to Jeffrey Archer, but his books are inspiring as well.

To comments, quickly, I've procrastinated enough:
*Anonymous: Um... OK... you're either Shafi or C3, or both. I have no idea who. Now I'm confused. Anyway.

Well, that's my post. I apologise for the really late post, Monday's will hopefully be on time. In any case, I'll get back into the posting rhythm when school starts. I was a bit lax on the long weekend (but then again, isn't everyone?).

Sorry again for the really late post,
