I finished Friends this week and now I just don’t know what to do with myself! It’s funny how I want to rush to the end of something– a book, a movie, a show, etc.– but when I get there I just don’t want it to be over. What’s next? Nancy sent me this text [...]
Today I read Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obscure. Deceptively simple and surprisingly addictive, Not Quite What I Was Planning is a thousand glimpses of humanity—six words at a time. One Life. Six Words. What’s Yours? When Hemingway famously wrote, “For Sale: baby shoes, never worn,” he proved [...]
Sting’s Memoirs. Probably the only work of non-fiction I’ve ever voluntarily read. *shrug* I read to escape and real life isn’t always good for that.
Enjoy it on YouTube (didn’t watch the whole video myself but I think it’s missing some of the interludes and fun asides)
The Outsiders. Not only do I love the book and movie and have re-read the book many times over, but it reminds me of my 7th grade year, probably my favorite year in grade school.

I still haven’t decided if I’ll continue on with the Sookie Stackhouse novels before season two of True Blood starts. The first book was definitely different than the first season, but there were key elements that were the same and I don’t know if I want to know what’s coming before it happens on the [...]
I did it! I saved up some money and we got our year-end bonus (fiscal year) on this paycheck so I just ordered my Kindle!! There’s the slightest tinge of buyer’s remorse but only because it’s been so long since I spent so much money on a single item. I’m happy though. I’ve already got [...]
I’m spending my first vacation afternoon reading (*cough* for the third time *cough*) New Moon and watching Pride & Prejudice– the BBC 6-hour version =) PJs and an oversized sweatshirt– I couldn’t be more comfortable! I hope the rest of the week is just as enjoyable =)
When Henry meets Claire, he is twenty-eight, and she is twenty. He’s a hip, handsome librarian; she is an art student with Botticelli hair. Henry has never met Claire before; Claire has known Henry since she was six… Henry has a genetic disorder which spontaneously sends him through time– mostly to the past. This story [...]
S. Morgenstern’s Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure The “Good Parts” Version Abridged by William Goldman I’ve loved the movie adaptation of The Princess Bride practically my whole life. It’s always been cherished. I picked up the book….well I don’t even know how long ago and finally decided to read it. Apparently S. [...]
