I have nothing specific to talk about today, so here are some things I’m thinking about in a very general way:
I realize that you don’t have to want to have Obama’s babies or think that he is the greatest thing in the world, that’s cool with me…but you have to be okay with me feeling that way.
I think Archuleta should win but dial idol is saying Cook is going to win. I don’t really much care either way.
Oh right, my five favorite books of all time:
The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand
Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
The Edge of Sadness by Edwin O’Connor
Into Thin Air by John Krakauer and and and….
this last one really has me thinking…for today, I’m going to go with either…
Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky or its exact opposite
The Time Travelers Wife by Audrey Niffenegger or
My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Piccoult
Shoot, maybe I just have 4.
I can’t wait for this upcoming weekend, I just cannot wait, beautiful weather, a whole long weekend with my little family…love it
I got more responsibility at work, this feels good, but also horrifying, responsibility scares me.
I want to eat Doritos lately, a lot. I want to eat them all the time.
I’m thinking about cutting down on my TV watching now that summer is here.
Call me fickle, but even though I have really hated Hillary at some moments in this campaign, I cannot wait to watch her turn that energy on to McCain.
I want to eat pizza, a lot. I want to eat it all the time.

really? my sister's keeper. interesting stuff. i think i found jodi picoult with 'the pact,' and then as per usual with types like me, i start reading someone like that like a crazy and then by book 4 i start getting disillusioned with their general writing style/plot points/character development/etc.
so, that was a good one, but it's bold to say top 5! i still haven't read 'the time traveler's wife.' but you're getting me to read 'great expectations,' so that's cool.
i'm curious ... are you reading it again, or have you read it so many times that you're going to sit back and watch us talk? :)
i have a post about everest stuff in me, i think ... i think i finally came to some revelations about some stuff the other day.
I know right? I don't know...I thought Sister's Keeper specifically was such an amazing book. I love Jodi books, and I did the same thing, read them all kind of thing, but that book honestly had me SOBBING. And everyone I've recommended it to, SOBBING. I really think its a fine piece of writing.
And I really wanted something very contemporary in there and Time Traveler, while not maybe the most beautiful writing, was the most amazing story.
I still think about that story all the time.
Great Expectations I've read many times. What a wonderful book, you're going to love it Smuss!
