At the announcement of Robert Pattinson, star of many of my daydreams years ago, would be the lead for the new batman I was initially surprised.
This is the same person who years ago tried to work out and just looked anemic, that lived off of cigarettes, microwave dinners and beer during Twilight. Likely the kind of person who excelled at drama in school but not athletics of any kind.

Cast as Batman? The hyper-intelligent billionaire playboy trained in multiple areas of martial arts? 

I guess the suit can cover up all manners of sins (including non existent nipples, RIGHT CLOONEY?!). I just don't... see it?

Batman broods though, and if Twilight is anything to go on, Rob can brood.

I guess only time will tell....

no, just kidding. i still suck.

1. catch 22 - once more, with feeling. i tried to read this book years ago but couldn't quite get past the first few chapters (a common theme with me)

2. the lady in the van - WHY MUST I READ THE BOOK BEFORE WATCHING THE MOVIE? WHY CAN I NOT BE SUCH A PRETENTIOUS TWAT?
fucking nailed it. read it and watched the movie. maggie smith is a gem. 

3. perks of being a wallflower - i watched the movie many years ago and had zero clue as to what was going on, what the plot was, why anyone would credit it as '[insert new generation name]'s are you there god, it's me Margaret.' i will endeavor to read the book to figure out wtf they were talking about because the movie perplexed me.

4. the lie - HOW MANY TIMES ARE WE GOING TO RESTART THIS BOOK WITH GOOD INTENTIONS, PUT IT DOWN, COME BACK TO IT, FORGET WHAT IT'S ABOUT AND THEN RINSE & REPEAT FOR TIME EVERLASTING??????? not once, not twice, not three times, but FOUR. the answer is four. it's a YA novel ffs, not war & peace.

5. trainspotting - because who doesn't like reading a light-hearted look at heroin addiction written in $@*%ing scottish? the answer: me, apparently. this will be on my to-read list probably until i die.

6. naked lunch - thankfully it's not written in scottish slang, but a recurring theme about drug addiction, except written in the fast times of the beat-poet era, because i absolutely adored on the road (not).

7. the portrait of dorian grey - because i have a thing for homoerotic writing about fucking flowers, i guess? this came about during a phase i like to call 'i am a pretentious douche who has decided to become 'cultured' and read all the classics.' i have made it through half of that book and have never picked up another 'classic' because i have the attention span of gnat sometimes and reading those books make me want to gouge out my eyes.

8. peter pan - it was an assigned reading for one of my classes in university and do you think i read it then? no, i didn't. so i have to read it in my spare time because why the fuck not.

all of these books are piled in a neat stack beside my bed. it's now february 2019. one day...

b; old enough to know better; attached.
college student of historical events, future educator. canadienne. i like to read, but i don't do it enough. i run. i like zombies. i'm obsessed with all things batman, except not batfleck. i'm a terrible video game player, but i'm getting better through attrition. i can play piano pretty good, though. the sound of city streets soothes me, but i love the silence of the forest. curious stargazer.
