wow I have no Christmas icons.

last night I finished reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. It took a while because I ended up being busier than I anticipated, but it was still a quicker read than I thought years ago when Lisa first tried to get me to read that book back at RWU. Today I'll go to the library and see if they have The Chamber ( Read more... )

I was just reading a story about how a woman is trying to ban Harry Potter from school libraries because she feels the book promotes witchcraft as a religion. I understand her concerns. I've never read Harry Potter books, but I've seen a couple of the movies. I wouldn't say they promoted witchcraft, but I guess if you were an impressionable child, ( Read more... )

this weekend was great... we'll get to that tomorrow though. i wanted to write up my review of Breakfast with Tiffany while it was still fresh in my head ( Read more... )

last night I finished "Memoirs of my Melancholy Whores" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. It was a really short read which is why I chose it next. I wanted to feel like I accomplished something if I read the book in less than a week, since my schedule usually doesn't permit such a thing. Actually I opened it up and the font was huge! lol ( Read more... )

i just finished reading White Teeth by Zadie Smith. if you remember, I started reading this book MONTHS ago. Beyond the fact that my nights were usually occupied with other things rather than reading, I just didn't enjoy reading this book. I actually feel bad about saying it. This is Zadie Smith's first book, and it won some awards, was the New ( Read more... )

I joined BMG the summer after Freshman year of college, if I'm not mistaken. Just to get the 11 cd's for the price of one, or whatever the promotion is. I knew what the obligations were, read the fine print, and I fulfilled them. It's funny because everytime I'm about to quit, they offer me 12 cds for the price of 3 (but I have to take 3 shitty cds ( Read more... )

sometimes I get bored at work and I play the myspace ad games. You know, "Strike oil first and win a free ringtone!" I don't know why, but I don't play the ones with President Bush. There's one where you have to help Bush and Saddam knit their respective flags. If the game is one of those, I'll refresh it until a non-Bush one comes up. btw, I just ( Read more... )

I don't think I've finished a book since Memoirs of a Geisha in February. I've started a few, but between reading that awful, downright unfinishable book, and losing "The Women of Brewster Place", i haven't had much luck. Right now I'm reading "White Teeth" by Zadie Smith. It's not bad. I actually sort of enjoy the way it's written. It was on the ( Read more... )

I started reading "Chloe Does Yale" by Natalie Krinsky. It's a novel about a sex columnist for the Yale newspaper written by (surprise, surprise) a sex columnist for the Yale newspaper ( Read more... )
