i am not allowed to go into book stores anymore
i went in to barnes and noble to get one audio book for my upcoming drive home. one book. one.
now let me tell you what i walked out of the store with: four audio books. three teen lit. books. one dig deeper into credit card debt. and that familiar partridge in a pear tree.
i'm beginning to refind that old book nerd that seems to have been hiding for a while. i'm blaming it on being able to read fiction for two of my classes this past semester. now i just can't get enough.
in case you're wondering which books i got, i would love to share that information with you right now. audio books = "can you keep a secret" by sophie kinsella. this is to fulfill my need for slightly crappy fiction aimed at lonely women. "the fabric of the cosmos" by brian greene. this is to fulfill my need for science and theory. "animal farm" and "1984" by george orwell (these two came in a set so it looks like i only bought 3 audio books...). these are to fulfill my need for classic literature and the need to understand some allusions that often go over my head because i haven't read these books.
in other news, today was a completely lazy day. i hope you don't judge me by what i'm about to tell you. be prepared for total languorousness. i slept in until 11. i decided to make some breakfast and watch "what not to wear". i went to not one, but two movies at market fair. the first was "in the land of women". i loved it. i'm sorry jenny smith, i love you but we just have very different taste in movies. i think we can still be friends though. also, i was very impressed with the trailers for new movies coming out. i'm pretty sure i will have to see the three that they showed before this movie. one was with john cusack who i adore (the movie is "martian child"). one was for "across the universe" which looks like a very good story and done in a moulin rouge-y sort of way. the last one was for "the ex" starring zach braff, who is freaking hilarious. the second movie i watched today was "spiderman 3". i was less than impressed. i mean, it feels good to have the completion of the story and the resolution of story lines but i just don't think it was well acted or well written. there were previews before this movie for other movies i will have to see this summer: pirates of the caribbean 3 and shrek 3. i hope those trilogies end better than the spiderman one. although, i know i wasn't impressed with the 2nd pirates movie... i'm sure i will like the shrek movie at least.
and finally, my room is a complete disaster. i had been keeping it fairly clean for about two weeks now. i must admit that this is because i kept having guests over. not just ordinary guests but one who was a potential roommate (who is now, in fact, going to be my roommate), two who i'm subletting to this summer and one who had to live in the same room for several days. now, all the cleanliness angst i've been holding in has exploded all over my room. it's okay. i like a little mess in my daily life.
all right, i think that may be all the news i have for now. peace.
