I'm feeling like I need to try somethiing new today so I'm going to try and talk one of my friends into going to the one and only Indian restaurant in town tonight. Never having tried any form of Indian food I'm sure it will be an experience!
Give in to the temptation! It really does look like the best book of the series so far. Should be interesting to see how the Casts execute it. Just the synopsis alone is very intense to read. If I remember right, I think they are planning to write something like 15+ books for the House of Night series.
I just got done with a tiny shopping trip to Barnes and Noble.com and managed to come away with only 1 book (I had 4 in my cart but deleted 3 after pulling up the Excel spreadsheet list of my TBR pile ) The one I did end up buying is Burned by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast. I've loved the House of Night series from the very beginning and the latest installment sounds (from what I have heard by those who have read it so far) like it won't disappoint. The only hesitation I had about buying it is that now it is the only book in the whole series I actually own. I HATE owning books that are a part of a series without owninging all the other ones in that same format (Hardcover/paperback. Those cannot be mixed and matched.)
Yesterday at work I was packing up my desk because on Monday I'm moving to a new desk/nook/cubicle thingy. While doing so my boss came over and was chatting and helping me organize my boxes. She noticed the Excel spreadsheet that I had emailed to my work email and copied onto my desktop of my TBR Pile and asked what that was. I showed her my list and system for keeping track of books I own and read/own and haven't read/don't own and have read/don't own and want to get my hands on. She was very impressed and now plans on using my system to make one for herself! In terms of taste we have a lot of the same styles and likes which is pretty cool. I keep having to re-start my breaks because I'll pull out a book at my desk and start reading and she'll come over and start discussing it (any talk with managers we are allowed to count as 'meeting' time, even personal discussions). Its kind of funny to sit around and talk about books for 20 minutes and then go on break as soon as she leaves so that I can read.
Off to update the list as I still haven't done so from my last shopping extravaganza trip.
Edit: Never mind the editing part- just realized that my TBR Excel list was on my other computer and I don't think the mini has Excel. *Sigh* Guess I'll have to import it to a Word doc somehow on Monday.
I have a bit of a girl 'crush' on Christina Ricci. She's just the cutest thing ever.
Also, I don't know the actor's name but I like the guy who plays Riley in National Treasure. He's been in a few other movies but I just can't think of his name right now.
That is definitely not an engagement/wedding ring! Its a gaudy cocktail ring that looks like it came out of one of those 25 cent plastic egg machines in the supermarket.
