Confessions...

Okay I should be working on my novel, but am stuck. Again. Also the novel I'm reading is calling to me - part of me really just wants to sink into my couch with a nice big milkshake and read all day. This George RR Martin book I'm reading? Delicious book. Reading it is a bit like ordering a huge ice cream sundae for your brain. One just wants to fall into it. Haven't read a book I wanted to literally escape inside of since the Lymond Chronicles. Although Hyperion came close. Oh and having a book store beneath my work place is a dangerous thing. Yesterday at lunch, I bought another book that I'd begun to lust after. Wales thinks I should try the library, which is also nearby, as in across the street. But libraries take more time, also the books are dusty, I have a limited time to read them before I have to return them, and well I have to give them back when I'm finished with them. Also I love my books to death. I lug them about with me when I travel, so they get wet or rumpled at times.
As a child I remember actually sleeping with a stack of them. I think I thought that by sleeping with them, I could sink into them by osmosis or that they'd keep me safe somehow.

Saw Batman Begins with cjl tonight and really enjoyed it. Didn't go in expecting that much - so was pleasantly surprised. Turned to cjl during the credits and said - ah, an action movie that actually wants to say something.
Didn't hurt that it was something that I've been struggling with internally myself these past few months - so definitely in the right mindset. Mood is always important when seeing a movie - it affects our perception.

( Review of Batman Begins, vague somewhat minor spoilers - no more than what you caught in trailers, I'd expect. )

After the film we had a delicious dinner at local restaurant. The dessert, for me, was the topper. Chocolat sushi. It was chocolate ganache, deep dark semi-sweet chocolate, melt in your mouth, with coconut lightly decorating the outside like rice. For soy sauce - we had chocolate liquour. For wasabi - a spiced homemade vanilla icecream. And for ginger - candied ginger. Best dessert, I've had in ages. Light. Decorative. Feast for eyes and mouth.
