Reading:
Along with a billion of my closest friends, I pre-ordered this book and it arrived Saturday. I like it. It has interesting characters and great relationships. Sure, some of it was cheesy but oh well. If I want great literature, I can go back to Google Books.
Listening:
Sadly I will miss their show here in Denver. But I like this song. And the video is so cute with them kissing between their lip piercings. Ok, that’s kind of retarded.
Stuck in my head:
Superman’s Song (You Tube)
On our way to Colorado, we arrived on the scene of a horrible auto accident where a green Saturn spun out of control in a freak thunderstorm. The passenger seat, and it’s passenger, were ripped out of the vehicle. In the pelting rain, I sat next to the passenger, with my hand on her shoulder, while she died. We listened to this album (Ghosts that Haunt Me) all the rest of the way to Denver. I think this song on my head because of the trademark crapola in the Open Grove.
Watching:
It’s embarrassing, but the last movie I watched was Slither. We watched all of Firefly (which is quite good) and Serenity. The captain of Serenity is in Slither. I shake my head at my own ridiculousness. Let’s hope the Red Head gives back our Shaun of the Dead DVD soon. For fuck’s sake, we need some quality zombie action!
I’m reading Potter, too. I’m really trying to resist reading the end first. I almost always do that…I hate suspense.
The Potter books really isn’t good writing but I wish I could write like that and earn millions! Won’t read it though. Barely tolerate the movies. Serenity and Firefly, now them there are underappreciated gems.
Wow, about the accident. It was good that the passenger had you there. I’m sure it meant a lot.
Rileyberry – Oh… well… I read the last two chapters as soon as the book arrived. Anxiety is no friend of mine. I admire your strength.
Squirrelly – I wonder some times about “good” writing. If a lot of people read it, and writing is communication, doesn’t that make it good writing?
Claudia,
You have apoint. I certainly cannot argue with the popularity and financial success of the potter books. My only weak arguement is that French and Italian cuisine is fine dining but MacDonalds is popular. Make any sense? Squirrel keep quiet now. Don’t want to aggravate woman with big biceps!
I think I’m the only person not reading the Harry Potter book.
That’s so sad about that accident. That lady was lucky to have someone there. I take it that song doesn’t bring back fond memories.
Squirrelly – “what is popular?” and “what is good?” is a question that I have been exploring for a long time. Oddly people think that what is good is usually not what is popular, but I’m not sure why. It’s fascinating to me.
Nila – You and a billion of your closest friends are reading the books.
