The weekend has been pretty nondescript - giving tuition, family BBQ, just chilling at home. Just the way I like it for now. The rest of the week has been crazy starting with the evolutionary psychology presentation on Monday, then Diwali and another presentation for neuropsych. I'm glad for the break. But then the mad rush is gonna start again. And I can foresee my doom all through November with the papers to write, a take-home exam to complete and ending off with the exams proper. Hectic hectic hectic. So this is probably the last bit of breather I can squeeze in and probably the only opportunity I have got to start watching Sherlock, which I have been meaning to get started on for ages. And Benedict Cumberbatch (even the name sounds sexy) has just got me on my first celebrity crush in a really, really, really long while. He's so brilliant in the show. It's inevitable that I'd be hooked. But that aside, the show's seriously decent. I am miffed that the first season's only got 3 episodes. There's some consolation that each episode's 90 minutes long. Writing about it makes me feel like gushing. So immature, Sharan. It's adding to the feeling I have about how the grass seems so much greener on the other side. I need to make a shift.
More about my 90s musical journey: Nevermind is a damn good album. I should have seriously gotten the deluxe version I saw in HMV on Friday. And when Florence + The Machine's album comes out in the next few days, I am definitely returning to get both. It's so sad that all the CD shops are closing. The one in Woodlands looks like it's on the verge of doing so as well. The last time I was there, the CDs had so much dust on them that it was obvious I was the first person to go through them in a long while. Talking about HMV, whenever I go there, I somehow manage to talk myself out of buying anything because there are just too many things I'd like to get. That's how I came home empty-handed. But I just got paid, so 2 new CDs for my collection. Ooh yeah.
Happy dealing with the MUNEDay blues tomorrow.
