Ok. So. Yes.

Lately, I've had a small obsession with mini cinnamon bagels. They are so tiny...so delicious...so cinnamony (it's a word in my vocabulary).
They are exceptionally delicious with honey on top and I've also discovered that butter and honey is an even better combination. All hail the petite cinnamon bagels!

SO, for my Brit. Lit. class I am reading Charles Dickens' "Bleak House". It is an extremely long novel (about 900 pages) and I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy it. Surprisingly enough, I am enjoying it quite thoroughly.
[Which makes sense considering I have an obsession (slightly greater then my vanilla scone obsession) with London and British culture, in general.]
Dickens is a great writer. Poetic, in a way. He has a pretty firm grasp on how society "works" and on how humans interact with one another. Reading "Bleak House" is much like tuning into your favorite television show every week, hungry for the next big plot twist.

I'll make it to the moon if I have to crawl.

personally i'm obsessed with coffee. I never drink the stuff when i'm at home or out (apart from the occassional rip-off that is Starbucks), but can't get through a day at work without. I'd take it intraveneously at work if i could. The bitter taste reminds me i'm alive. Nothing wrong with inventing words and cinnamony sounds a good one. Don't become too obsessed with us brits - yeah Dickens was great - but we also made the "Carry On" Films. Hardly a perfect track record.

Hi, my name is Pablo Carey. I like your blog! Please come to mine and take a small survey. I just started blogging recently for the following reason: I gave up drink a while ago for a year, from January to January, as a challenge. I enjoyed the experience more than I thought I would and it opened my eyes to a lot of things. Since being back on the drink (I do enjoy a jar with mates), I am now considering giving it up for good, but this would be a huge decision so I have started this blog for a year to discover if I should or not...
