Pride & Prejudice (2005) Dir. Joe Wright

Reblog if you're a nobody on Tumblr but you're still very proud of your blog.

Saw this on "Book Riot" today. http://bookriot.com/2013/11/13/10-terrific-reading-nooks/

Window reading nook.

Played this and my cat immediately came over purring, sat on my chest, and started nudging my head (x-tra amazing because she isn't very loving). I don't know what this meow means in cat but it's something profound.

He tripped out

Sunita Williams (b. 1965) is an astronaut who holds the record for most spacewalk time (50 hours, 40 minutes), as well as most spacewalks (seven) by a woman. She served as a member, and later flight engineer, on four expeditions on the International Space Station.

She served in the US Navy as a Naval Test Pilot, with more than 3000 flight hours on 30 different aircraft types. Onboard the ISS in 2007, she was the first person to complete a marathon in space, running along to the Boston Marathon, which she finished in 4 hours and 24 minutes.

Finally reading the books! Is it wrong that I'm so looking forward to reading the sex scenes? (a byproduct of watching the television series first) 

Existential Riddles

Shouts & Murmurs: “Which is heavier, a ton of feathers or a ton of gold? Everything is equal in a cruelly indifferent universe.”

Ha - 

“A man is locked in a room with only a piano. How does he escape?

The man uses a piano “key” to escape. Then he uses religion to escape, then drugs, then a relationship that clearly won’t work out in the long term, then unhealthy food, then rage, then the “key” again, because it’s a cycle, it’s an endless cycle, and he can never truly escape until he accepts that she’s really gone.”

Recent haul - Larkin and Didion's books on suggestion from Carry Brownstein - and Gaiman's "Norse Mythology" on my own want list for a while. It's going to be a great weekend.
