in one of the books i've recently completed in two days and which also successfully made it to my list of Favourite Books of 2006, the 8 year old protagonist, oskar schell, describes feelings of negativity i.e sadness by calling them 'heavy boots'.

that's what i'm experiencing right now. in fact my metaphorical boots are filled with cement. i think it'd be nice if christmas came early and those boots were filled with oxycontin and muscle relaxants maybe? yesterday, in the midst of a nice PMS therapy session, sam asked us what would we have right now, anything at all, and nothing would go wrong. i immediately said, 'how about 10 mil?' which was later changed to one billion. ming said 'better skin', which was countered by my, 'why dont you just wish for money?' sam surprised me by saying she would like pure, unadulterated love [at least i think she did] ah well.

upon hearing that, i felt like a miserable, cynical old twat who is also moneygrubbing.

anyway because i'm waiting for my hair to dry, here's what i'll put my hypothetical one billion to :

-get top of the line film industry people to make movies out of my favourite books. i dont care if the film is ten hours long. i didn't say i would be inviting anyone else, did i.

-get a jet i guess? i mean that's what ostentatious rich people do right?

-buy all the movies and books i want.

-donate a copious amount to animal societies. i prefer four legged critters to those two legged ones.

-buy properties that MUST have top of the line kitchens.

the textual siege.
