Bought Artemis Fowl and The Atlantis Complex.

Managed to not read it for the first day... Then on the second day (today), I succumbed. The book's read, from cover to cover... And my homework, comparatively, is relatively undone.

I've always been very easily addicted, and to put a book within (near) sight, in a wardrobe I have to open to get my sleeping stuff, is folly. Moreover, I've been putting off the urge got read books for a pretty long time already. And an book on how to pass my IPPT and another, the autobiography of my choir conductor's journey to becoming said conductor, don't really count as what I like to read. Oh, well. The guilt's come out in full force, what's been done has been already done, and so I should get to doing my homework.

And it wasn't particularly satisfying, anyway. I realised that the genre of Artemis Fowl is catered to a younger target audience, probably tweenie boys (lower secondary). The words were a little simplistic, though I still can't figure out the darned symbols that line the bottom of each page and the start of each chapter. And there was an attempt to bring in romance between Artemis and Holly (will not bother to explain.. >.<) and some of the dude's alter ego, Orion as well. Well, suffice to say that I didn't find it extremely troubling, but smiled a little... Which went on to affirm, once more, something that has already affirmed itself an infinite number of times already. Which may or may not be troubling in itself.

Anyway, I just came back from running 2.5 rounds around the local stadium, about 3km (very roughly), and it was done in about 15minutes, also very roughly. Approximation is a good thing in this case because it bouys my confidence and makes me want to run more, all for the sake of passing my 2.4km run for NAPFA with flying colours. To the one who encouraged me, who set this target for me to meet, thank you.

And get well soon (:
