Library Loot: crossing state lines

It is amazing, for a girl (that would be moi) who has sworn off vampire books (except for the Sookie Stackhouse ones, and I am perilously close to saying sayonara to those too) I am absolutely bewitched, enthralled, and beguiled by Richelle Mead’s Vampire Academy series. So much so that in order to get the first three [...]

Bookish wrap up of 2009

The idea of a wrap up covering a whole year of lusty reading greatly distresses me, and thus I allowed it to loom over me, my fingers felt too intimidated to even attempt typing such a thing. Last month blog posts summing up the year popped up all over the internet, whether it was my 20-something blogger friends, DC [...]

Apocalypse and dystopian stories now less appealing

The dramatic “what if” possibilities for apocalypse and dystopian story lines are utterly fascinating. How did the world end? What does the landscape look like now? What does society/culture look like? How will people survive? These plots are immensely popular these days, personally I think they’re more popular now due to a number of real life things [...]

Obsession with the internet and iPhoto Booth

Have you ever noticed that when actors are using computers on TV, especially in commercials, they make them look all into it and all active and all expressive about it? Like look, I know it’s boring to watch someone scroll down and down, but no ones eyes shift that much or waggle their eyebrows when [...]

Library Loot: eclectic as usual

My little sister is all into yoga and that type of stuff, for example her ”Religion” on facebook is listed as ”Peace, Love and Happiness,” and I’ve been to a few yoga classes with her. One particular instructor was all about “balance” and “chakras” and “finding your third eye.” I can barely balance on one foot so balancing my [...]

This is what’s up

Vacation from *everything* pretty much describes my last 2 weeks of life, both online and in person. We did 8 loads of laundry and emptied the vacuum twice before we were done cleaning our condo. Then after spending hours on my work inbox I still have 20 unread emails that I need to respond to immediately. [...]

December 2009 reading re-cap

Hopefully you weren’t expecting a WHOLE YEAR recap already?! I haven’t strung together enough words to barely even resemble any kind of real blog post let alone a “top 10 lusty books of 09″ or anything like that. So y’all will just have to make do with my most recent monthly finished reading list for [...]
