I just wrote all of this once and it wouldn't post, so I had to refresh the thing and start it again! *is not happy*

But I am happy really, because it's Half Term! A nice week off school! And I finished all the crappy notes/homework/crap off yesterday, so I have nothing to do this week apart from things I want to do. And I'm going to my Aunt's house which will be lurvely, and Bleak House starts on tv with Gilly! I do have to read a bit more of Tess of the d'Ubervilles for school, which I thought I'd enjoy because Thomas hardy wrote it but it's just not appealing to me and he's trying to really make us sympathise for Tess - and that irritates me. I like books where, ok, the author has opinions on the characters and there is a set way that you 'should' feel towards each of them in order to be conducive to the plot but there is room for the reader's own opinions. With Tess, it's more "Feel sorry for her! Like her! VICTIMVICTIMUNFORTUNATEEVENTS! *glares* And Roman Polanski's film version? So so dry. And so so bad because of that that it starts veering into being as bad as (imo) Midsummer Night's Dream with Kevin Kline. *shudder*

On a less ranty note, because Bleak House is starting on Thursday *OMGsquee!!*, there's been tons of publicity for it. I've got 3 tv mags because there were interviews with Gilly in them and we get two more this weekend because they come with the newspapers so I really should have this week's tv memorised soon! But they all came with pretteh pics of Gilly, so all is good. And she's on the radio on Monday, Richard and Judy on Tuesday and then Bleak House is on Thursday/Friday and then twice a week after that! Twice weekly Gilly! *dances*
