First of all, everyone needs to go and download the song “I’m in Miami, bitch” by LMFAO. It’s awesome. And catchy and you will find yourself singing along with it everywhere you go. On the opposite end of the music spectrum, the new Lucinda Williams song, Real Love also is fantastic. So download that too.

I just finished reading the book The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. It is now one of my favorite books. It is absolutely amazing and everyone needs to read it.  As soon as I finished it, I was like, I need to read this again. It is a memoir about the author’s life and just so interesting and inspiring. And also makes you appreciate what you have. I know I am making it sound so cheesey, but it is far from it. And then of course, right after I started Eclipse (the third in the Twilight series). I can’t help it. I am addicted. Although there are times that I have to stop and put the book down or throw it at the wall. Really Stephanie Meyer, I mean if these are geared towards teenagers, you might not want to make them think that in order to be happy in all aspects of life they need a man. I mean seriously, Bella went into a deep depression for like five months after Edward left. And it wasn’t until she befriended Jacob that she started to be “normal” again. I mean really, I understand as a teen that everything is always overdramtic and the worst thing ever, but still. Although it seems like Bella has a wee bit of character development so far inthe third book. Oh, and one last thing. To me, the books seem heavily “abstinence-only.” Yet, when Bella and Jacob ride the motorcycles, they aren’t wearing helmest. Um, yeah.

Alrighty, enough complaining. Obiviously I am still obsessed with the books enough to finish the series. After them though, I am finally going to get around to reading Full Frontal Feminism and The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. Then probably back to Agatha Christie.
