WHAT DO YOU CALL THIS?

I had this really weird experience yesterday and I need psychologist or something to tell me what is happening to me!
Yesterday I was listening to the hour news on the radio when I heard a little blurb about someone who had found the body of a decomposed man face down by a river bank or somewhere. I told my mom how that would be really gross to find and how it seemed like something that would happen on a episode of "Inspector Morse". She agreed with me. I then proceeded to find a hole in my theory, because cases in Morse would tend to deal with more recent deaths and not with a body that had had time to decompose like that. She agreed with me again. But then I said that it might be a possible plot line for a Morse and wouldn't it be funny if that was the subject of the Morse we were going to watch that afternoon.
Well, lo and behold, IT HAPPENED! In an episode entitled The Way Through The Woods, they find a body that is decomposed, more like a skeleton, and proceed to solve the case surrounding it.
Am I a genius or what?

CHARLES DICKENS

I am in the process of reading a classic work of fiction by Charles Dickens and I am only ten chapters in so that means it will probably take me forever to finish it but maybe blogging about it can keep me motivated.
I love his literary style and I always try to decipher the meaning of the archaic words he uses. Maybe I'll get smarter reading this!
