Undercurrents: A Life Beneath the Surface

by Martha Manning

Since I’m going through ECT myself I thought it would be good to read books written by people who have also had ECT. Wrong. Martha Manning is a psychologist herself, so I thought she’d have some really good insight into her experience. Nope. The book is in diary form, but the thing about it is the whole thing is written in present tense! Very annoying.

Last of the Jedi: Death on Naboo (Star Wars: Last of the Jedi, Book 4)

by Jude Watson

Although this is a kids’ book, it’s pretty good. Jude Watson also wrote the Jedi Apprentice (that had young Obi-Wan) and Jedi Quest (with young Anakin) series. This is the fourth book in this series and takes place after Episode III. Ferus Olin, who’s an adult character and was a Padawan with Anakin during JQ, ended up leaving the Order. Now that there aren’t any Jedi left, he’s using what Jedi abilities he still has to try and help people escape Imperial tyranny.

What’s New

nothing. i had another ECT again today, and for the first time since i’ve had them, i’m constantly having to pee. what a pain in the ass. also, the regular shock doc is on vacation or something so some other doctor’s doing it, and this guy does it super early! like on Friday, we have to be there at 6:15am! Jesus Christ. i don’t know yet if i’m going to have to go back next week or what. well, i don’t feel better yet.

in other news, Brian picked up the keys to our new apartment. we can move in on the 15th, but i don’t think we will ’til the 24th. i hate moving, but i can’t wait to get out of this place.

i forgot to add that Allston describes Zekk as ?slightly younger than Jaina? ( p. 28 ), when in actuality, i believe he?s 2 years older than the Solo twins. i swear i read this in an earlier novel, but i can?t remember which one. and of course, most of my books are packed now, for the move.
