I woke up this morning and worked on a short story for class. That was the only productive thing I did today, and it was over by 1:30.
The rest of the time was spent in enjoyable diversions, such as :
1) Wintersmith, Terry Pratchett's new Tiffany Aching novel. Yeah, it's a kids' story, but it's as much fun as the other Discworld books. Plus, there's a great amount of satisfaction in reading 400 pages in under four hours.
2) The Price is Right, UK-style. Man, if Bob Barker ever decided that the 70s decor should really go by the wayside, he'd know where to look. The show's only half an hour long, so some details (like the Showcase Showdown) have been modified, but the presenter's nutty and doesn't give off the creepy-old-man vibe when he kisses a girl. Some of the "Beauties" are male. Also, the announcer's a bit cheekier with prize descriptions, and no one had the chance to win a Ford. A Fiat was up for grabs, though...
3) Super Mario Brothers 2: relearning the first level was never this fun on an honest-to-God NES.
Sadly, the zoo trip appears to be off for tomorrow, as the birthday boy and half the crew have apparently contracted some deadly flu-like illness. I'm hoping the magic vitamins keep working. Beyond the fact that everyone is ill, I imagine I'm in for the night because of the rain and violent-sounding wind outside my room. Tomorrow night is Richmond Place curry dinner, however, so there's something to look forward to!
