A Must Read For All Ages

I'm not gonna lie, but I always thought the books my sister chose for pleasure reading looked kinda artsy, dark, and well...just plain weird. The black book covers and obscure titles seemed more than a little of my radar of good literature. The fact that my sister and her art school friend would arrive at the local Barnes and Nobles at midnight of the publication release date to buy their already "reserved" copies of the latest in the "Twilight" series was enough to have me steer clear of the underground cult following of the book.

I will confess, it wasn't until my friend Lindsey read the first book and gave rave reviews that I even considered reading it. Then, she proceeded to read the remaining books in her own inhuman way, knocking out 500+ page book after book, each in less than 24 hours. That alone made me decide to swallow my pride and give the "Twilight" series a chance. At the very least I would hate the first book, not read the rest, and lose no money since I was borrowing the books.

Needless to say...I read the first book in a week, which is quite remarkable given my less than stellar reading speed. Never again will I judge a book by its cover *pun intended*. The plot is great, and for a young adult novel it broached the subject of love much more comprehensively than any of the "chick lit" meant for grown women. Plus... who doesn't love a page torn right out of "interview with a vampire".

I totally recommend reading it. Pick up a copy asap before the movie comes out this December and spoils the suspense of the book for you.

I'm going to Jackson...

Time to visit good ole Jackson, MS and all my friends who call it home. It's been a couple of months since I've seen most of my college friends so it should be a nice visit. Hopefully they haven't all completely forgotten who I am...gulp***

Heat Wave!

I'm about to faint...the A/C is out at Medtronic. Holy S***! And yet...we are still at work, nose to the grindstone. It has definitely been hot flash city for all the ladies in my building. I had to have a fan blowing up my dress to even make the day bearable. :) Tomorrow it's shorts for me.

OMFG!

In the immortal words of Blair Waldorf on my favorite new guilty pleasure Gossip Girl...OMFG! Capella auditions were so much fun for us as a staff, getting the opportunity to choose from such a talented group of individuals. There was some pretty fierce stuff going on out there to say the least. Anyways this weekend should be equally as exciting as a new crop of auditionees turns out and our call backs return for a second look. Til then...XOXO Gossip Girl. ;)
