My grandma is better she should be getting out in a few days. Her liver is still not improving but is what i overheard but they won't know for sure for a while. I seriously like her so much better high. my grandma being herself is so hard to talk to. shes so closed off. i try to think of things to make conversation but she just doesn't really respond. i think she might be just tired but from what i gather she's usually not that talkative in general. I guess all people are better when their worries are lifted by some other means. I was generally pretty productive for just hanging out at a hospital. I finished 2 and 1/4 books this weekend. I FINALLY finished Water for Elephants I don't even know when I bought it. I just never had the time or patiences to sit down and read and i finally started and finished. It wasn't quite as good as I though it would but then again I thought it was going to be different. I went to Times Square yesterday around 4pm for about an hr to browse around their english bookstore for new books to read at the hospital. I got 2 books Choke by chuck Palahniuk and twilight by sara meyer. I wasn't sure what i wanted to read so i chose a chuck palahniuk book since thats a safe choice for me. there was only 1 copy of choke left so i decided to take that one. I was going to get invisible monsters but the idea that i was going to buy it again so i could finish it felt stupid so i didnt. I then decided maybe a chick book so i chose twilight which i saw a trailer for a while back and i remember sarah chalke (elliot reid from scrubs) was going to be in it so i bought that. HOWEVER after reading 1/4 of it today, i found out that i read the imdb wrong and it wasn't sarah chalke but sarah clarke......booo o well i spent the money i might as well finish it. I'm not really enjoying it since so far its been a bit corny its kinda like reading "rosewell" (the tv show) in novel form replacing aliens with vampires. I regret my choice. i feel so too old for this book but its long and i spent the money so i continue. I just hope it'll be worth my while. I finished choke this morning wait....scratch that i woke up at 10 which means i couldn't possibly be at the hospital until 11...or 12 sooo make that early afternoon. read most of it yesterday so there wasn't much to read today. It was not bad a lot of philosophical rhetoric, situational irony, and unexpected ending twist. makes up for a palahnuik novel. unbeknownst to me, choke has also been made into the movie and i watched the trailer today. i as kinda disappointed it was not what i expected. I expected victor to look a bit more elegant...not in the sense like a gentleman but like a dirty scruffy guy who also happens to have a aura about him thats more elegant. not that i dont' like sam rockwell, he's a god actor i like him its not really a new type of character that he hasn't played before so he should do fine. also denny. I actually did picture him as a bit chubby like the film but he's like suppose to be like really skinny and bald...also i pictured dr marshall to be prettier/hotter and victor's mom is suppose to be extremely skinny resembling a starving jew after the Halocaust. I mean they couldn't possbily be able to find an elder actress thats nearly that skinny but to cast angelica huston? I mean cast gwyneth paltrow's mom....actually thats loads better cast her and gwyneth paltrow to play the younger version of victor's mom. it would of been a "challenging" role for gwyneth paltrow to play....well possibly this odd casting is on purpose for those who read the book as it says.."Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it" well i'm going to finish twilight...hopfully at the rate i'm reading i think it'd better to buy one of those amazon digital book reader things to d/l books...but i like the whole book holding paper texture thing ...so i'd prob wont and since i can load 2 extra luggages on the plane...it would be no problem bringing my new books back to the states and adding it into my bro's book collection...he might not like the quality of the condition i read my books in but i'm the one who spent the money so he can't complain! I have more to say but i don't want to type right now
