first day of horrible results-receiving is OVER! yay. after school i went to video eazy (how do you spell it) with pui and we walked around the little shop for about half an hour looking for movies to rent. we didnt rent anything in the end, instead we bought some candy corn from cold storage. shared it. was terribly, excessively sweet and not as chewy as i'd have hoped, but still kind of nice. i think they're very fatty though, one piece of candy corn (the size of your thumbnail) has 6.25 calories! :S erghh. anyways after that i went home and read for awhile then i felt all sleepy, and just when i was about to fall asleep i got this call on my hand phone. someone looking for her Ah-nee. wrong number.
bleh, i am feeling lame. need to go wash the dishes.
oh yeah, something cool. Ernest Vincent Wright's (who's that?!) 1939 novel Gadsby is written without ANY letter E's! thats pretty cool. i mean, look at how many Es im using in this entry alone.
dish washing's done, im back! here's a write up on the God of Small Things (got it off the web, http://website.lineone.net/~jon.simmons/roy/).
Set in Kerala in the 1960s, The God of Small Things is about two children, the two-egg twins Estha and Rahel, and the shocking consequences of a pivotal event in their young lives, the accidental death-by-drowning of a visiting English cousin. In magical and poetic language, the novel paints a vivid picture of life in a small rural Indian town, the thoughts and feelings of the two small children, and the complexity and hypocrisy of the adults in their world. It is also a poignant lesson in the destructive power of the caste system, and moral and political bigotry in general. The novel has become an international best-seller, and in October 1997 won the coveted Booker Prize.

TODAY IN HISTORY. today in 1979, Mother Teresa was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize
