Qué bolsa
I hate that I haven't posted anything in so long. I'm sorry, journal. I'm sorry, anyone who reads my entries. I don't have much to talk about lately, and if I do I just don't have the energy to rant. Sometimes I get home and don't even turn on the computer. I've already gone a straight week without doing so... Yeah, this semester has been pretty demanding. Whoever it was that told me senior year was going to be a breeze is crazy.
Anyway, I'm posting because I felt compelled to let the world know how much I love the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. Yesterday was the release of Book Four in the series and me and a friend where right there at Borders looking for our books along with all the little kids. The books are so much fun. They are funny - laugh-out-loud funny - and fast-paced, and they have pictures. They have pictures! Cartoons is more like it, really funny cartoons.
I've brought the last two books to school and I'm starting to recruit people already. The bottom line is that everyone should read them. You'd love them, I know.
Also, I feel the need to rant a bit about Sookie Stackhouse. It's not enough that I'm obsessed with True Blood the show, I recently decided I would read the books. And I did. All nine books. In about a month. Mostly reading two per weekend. Not healthy.
The books focus on Sookie Stackhouse, a telepathic bar maid from a small town in northern Louisiana, trying to deal with vampires, werewolves, demons, even a pair of fairy twins who own a strip club, that keep trying to suck her deeper into their worlds. They are a huge mess, there's no way I could really explain them. The author makes this seemingly silly world feel so real and believable, though. And Sookie kicks so much ass and while still being easy to relate to. I don't know how she does it.
They may not have much literary value, but they are completely addicting. They pull you in until your head hurts from so much reading yet you can't stop.
I feel a little ashamed of liking them so much, though. Maybe it's because I feel a general disgust towards vampire stories now, In The Times Of Twilight. Although it's not so much a vampire story, more like a story with vampires... Yeah. But I have to admit it, I love them and am anxiously awaiting to get my hands on the next book and a year to wait for the next season of True Blood is way too long.
Little things:
- I'm starting to feel the pressure of 'in-a-few-months-I'm-supposed-to-be-in-college-omg-wtf' finally. It's a bit scary and exciting at the same time. I'm ready for a change.
- I'm loving AMC's Mad Men.
- I read El Túnel y La Familia de Pascual Duarte. I loved them. I needed to read something in Spanish, too.
- I'm hating my subconscious mind. I'm not happy about my dreams.
- OMGHALLOWEN!
- No homework today :)
