don't judge a book by its a cover

confession::: i have awful taste in books. i'm not really into the whole classic book that your father and everybody you've ever known has also read. naw, i'm into the books that although they may be at the top of new york times bestsellers list, it was the housewives in suburban america that got them there. and that, my friends, should speak volumes.

i don't think i'm giving the authors very much credit though.
there is clearly a reason they are at the top of every list... because once you pick them up, you can't put them down. they captivate your attention and won't let go until you've read every last word through page 211. it is then that you realize its two o'clock in the morning and you have to get up for work in the morning. and then, when you wake up for work, you can't wait until your lunch break because that is when you can finally read again.

and then lunch comes, and you are suddenly too embarrassed to take out your book and read it in front of your colleagues, for fear that someone will judge you by the cover of your book.

(i just read the manny by holly peterson. i cannot recommend it enough.)
(that is, if you like that sort of thing)

the end of something good

you know what i hate?

i hate when all of my favorite tv shows have their season finales within two weeks of eachother. simply because i'm left trying to get into other shows that in any other case would not live up to my high standards.

(okay, who am i kidding, my bar is pretty low.)

but after this week i will be left to fend for myself. i will be forced to like mediocre shows that will admititely capture my attention for a few weeks. that is until i come to my senses and just decide to give up tv altogether, and enjoy my summer nights elsewhere.

shows that are ending this week:::








thats a lot of shows.
(please don't laugh about the lack of quality)
i'm wearing black all week just to commemorate.

post one

i don't know why i am doing this. well, i do. but i'm afraid to sound too conceited on my very first blog post. i would hate for my [two] reader(s) to get the wrong idea. no, this post should be about how excited i am to start this blog and to catalogue my life. this post should be about how great this blog is going to be and what i plan on doing with it.

but secretly, what i'm really excited for is having a place to write my ideas and musings. is that vein? ah well. i'm going to write about whatever i feel constitutes a blog post. but let me tell you, my standards are pretty low. i will write about anything and everything. try not to worry though, i will do my best to keep the posts about how cute my dog is down to a minimum.

she is pretty cute though, huh?
