the doctors have decided that i should undergo ECT every 2 weeks and then eventually, every 4 weeks. i had the first one this past Friday, but there’s no improvement whatsoever. however, just the one treatment didn’t affect my memory at all, which is pretty much back to normal. i’m supposed to call them tomorrow to let them know how i feel, and since i still feel lousy, i’ll probably have ECT again this Friday–maybe once a week for a while, then every 2 weeks, etc.

Actually, I didn’t finish reading this book because I couldn’t. I was looking forward to learning which parts of The Da Vinci Code were real because I’m interested in the history. I thought this book would be a good one because it’s written by an authority on the subject — a religious studies prof. Unfortunately, this guy continually references his own work, which leads me to question his credibility. How arrogant can you be? It’s like professors who make you buy their own books for class.

I wanted to like this book because lots of other people do. Although the plot is great, with plenty of twists and turns, the storytelling is dull.

With the exception of maybe Teabing, the characters are flat. We don’t really get to know them because Dan Brown relies too heavily on dialogue to tell the story and move the plot, rather than the characters’ actions (in addition to the dialogue). By the end of the book, what do we really know about Langdon or Sophie? Have their characters developed during the course of their quest? No.

The characters’ interior dialogue was annoying. I especially found it irksome when Brown has the European characters thinking to themselves in American idioms.

I thought, too, that this was going to be an intelligent story. Rather, I felt that my intelligence was insulted. Though I appreciated the historical references, the puzzles and clues Langdon and Sophie had to solve were way too simple. I found it hard to believe that these scholars couldn’t figure some of these things out.

although i have a lot on my mind, i haven’t posted any of it because, just like a few weeks ago, i’m having trouble articulating my thoughts into any sort of coherent order. just writing the review preceding this post took a lot of effort.

anyway, things seem to have gotten worse. i stopped showering again, quit hockey (until the fall), and missed my jewelry class. i agree that i tried to do way too much too quickly. but it just felt so good to want to do things! this past week i haven’t wanted to (and didn’t) do a damn thing.

so, the pdoc is consulting with the shock doc and i may be going in for more treatments tomorrow or later this week.
