I made a front cover for my novel, ready to be handed in as part of my Creative Writing module.
I started reading Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. Serious mind-fuckery going on there. I love it of course.
And yesterday I officially started learning Russian. Yay. I'm fed up of being terribly British and only knowing one language and expecting the rest of the world to understand me. The reason I'm learning Russian is that I mean to visit at some point when I have, you know, some money. It also ties in to the long standing, and I mean very long standing, fascination I have with Russia.
Other than those things, life isn't so good at the moment. Still though, I have wonderful people, online and offline to help me through.
P.S, you know, I agonise for ages over which of my fifteen icons to use in my posts. What a loser! I have no idea why I chose this one, other than because I love it.

And finally...OMG I found out who you are!!
Actually, I did check out your profile before I added you back and thought... cool.
Kind Hearts and Coronets is amazing. I love it (although The Ladykillers is my favourite as you may have guessed).
Also, I'm so excited that someone else likes Conrad Veidt!!
