oedipus the king

how could i NOT be psyched! i have an assignment on oedipus the king!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ga nyesel ngambil mpk seni teater. ahahaha. after being uber major jealous of the people over at french studies for having a greek mythology class, i finally have one of my own! well, something like it. having to study the oedipus script is the closest thing to greek mythology class. it's not like i haven't read the script already, i've already watch antigone the play. so everybody fell asleep during the play, but i looooooveeeedddd it. i wish i could watch it again actually. haha.

i went to times bookstore today at UPH. it was really big and nice but now, for some reason, i value libraries more than bookstores. books in libraries have more values and histories. and i think that there's a reason how a book could end up in a library. anyway, times bookstore wasn't bad. there's like tons of space for you to curl up with a book. the first on my mind on my way there was 'look for a clockwork orange'. but once i got there, i assumed that they probably won't have a book that rare. so here are the 5 books that i bought:

God is Not Great. I just realizes it has a tagline that says how religion poisons everything. it was really hard to sneak that book into the cashier without my parents looking. i also wanted to buy in God We Doubt and The Atheist's Bible, but my mum would slaughter me right then and there. haha

Peony. aaaaah Pearl S. Buck. Should I say more?

Diary. Remember, if it's palahniuk, it's probably worth it.

To the nines. I don't know why i bought this. i've failed trying to read high school books ever since i started college. but after watching the princess diaries on Disney Channel a few weeks ago, i kind of miss Mia and her stupidness.

So the plastic bag they used was really cool. it has names of famous authors all over it. well it's not just in the plastic bags actually, but all over the building walls. there are great quotes to like there are more treasures in a book than treasures in the pirate's loot-walt Disney and you can't open a book without learning something-dalai Lama.

But on the plastic bag, there's anthony Burgess. uuurrrggghh. so they probably do have a clockwork orange. my mum said i could just buy it off ebay, but i don't want a buy a book that's just a click away. i use to, but i've posted it before. the books i bought at amazon ended up being neglected or lost cause i got it so easy. there's no effort in buying in. no thrill of the hunt except typing the book title and clicking enter.

I also met up with aby today after agesssss of not seeing her. and my campus life is just getting better. i passed the oral exam. yipee! less than half of my class passed it. and most of the people who passed are ones who have studied chinese earlier.

so, despite the annoying disturbance distance has caused, my life is pretty much great for now. =)
