suki_blueI've been smoke free for 31 days and I'm absolutely gagging for a cigarette. Before I gave up completely, I'd cut down to only a few fags very late at night, but now I'm craving ALL DAY. This is not a good sign.
I started my Open University course this weekend and we've kicked off with a study of the Realist Novel. Pride and Prejudice. Great Expectations. Fathers and Sons. And Frankenstein as an example of the Anti-realist novel. I'm dreading having to critique and discuss Fathers and Sons because my honest opinion is that it's a pile of shit. I don't think I'll get a very good mark if I put that in an essay :OD
On the bright side, here is my latest creation. Everyone, meet ...
Piccalo!
He's outgoing, fun, definitely a showbiz kinda guy (I'm thinking the stage), and when I give him to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

In conclusion, I think I need to go rewatch Young Frankenstein. Fronk-En-Steen!

Date: 2009-02-10 07:54 pm (UTC)LOL! Quite. At the moment I only know I hate it because it's boring and bleak and colourless and completely uninteresting. It's too real. I would have a better time watching pain peel from age and damp conditions. I guess I'll learn how to say that in a more academically pleasing way. Hee! :OD

Oooh, will it count as research if I watch it, too?
