I haven't left the apartment since Thursday, the snow and ice was just too much for me. But now I really have to pick up the slack. Not that I didn't accomplish anything at home, but it didn't feel like as much as I could have had I left the safety of my cave.

I started reading Terry Pratchett's book The Fifth Elephant. It is incredibly comical. This is my first time reading his work and I am enjoying it immensely. My former Cegep professor Linda loves Terry Pratchett, and the art that was created for his wacky Discworld. I love how he makes fun of high fantasy and creates characters who aren't altruistic or completely evil. After this book, I plan to read Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood, which I purchased at an amazing little used book store my friend Gavin introduced me to. It feels exciting to have material lined up to read.

I recently started a diary/sketchbook/inspiration journal and it feels really spectacular to create for myself. I feel less inclined to update here because of it. I often would obsess about what I would update this blog with, what parts of my life I thought would be interesting for me to share with others. The way I went about thinking entries through wasn't healthy. Hopefully from now on updates here will be more sporadic, but more fun? We shall see.
