Confession

I like young adult novels. There, I said it. I'm a 27 year old woman who reads young adult. In my defense, however, there is a lot of really good stuff out there right now. (Of course there is also some really really bad stuff out there. *cough*Twilight*cough*. Which I do admit to reading because it's like crack. You know its bad for you but you just can't stop yourself).

My most recent find is The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I also have a weakness for dystopian fiction (Aside: another great dystopian young adult series is Uglies by Scott Westerfeld) so I really couldn't help myself. I really suck a summarizing novels but, in essence, two teenagers from each of the 12 districts in this society are chosen to compete in a reality television death match. Only one is allowed to survive. It's is supremely fucked up but fantastic. I finished the whole thing in one day because I could not put it down. And then there is a sequel (Catching Fire, in case you were wondering) and although I highly recommend you read both you will be supremely frustrated when you finish the second book because the third one isn't out yet!

Another note: How to trick your husband/significant other into reading this book, don't tell him the narrator is a girl. That's right. I got Brian to read it and he liked it. Ha!

A Movie I Love

So this movie has been out for more than a year now but I just can't get enough of Stardust. Sure its not the greatest piece of cinematic art but I could literally watch it over and over. In fact I'm watching the end of it right now.

Sigh. It makes me happy.

Confession

So I was sitting here messing around on the internet and I had VH1 on in the background...and then the new New Kids on the Block song came on and I just couldn't look away. It was like watching a trainwreck or something.

Appallingly Bad Taste

I actually meant to write about this awhile ago but I just thought I would share with the world what a truly terrible taste in movies I have. See ExhibitA:


That's right I like the new Alvin and the Chipmunks movie. Sure, when we were kids watching Alvin was great, we thought it was hilarious. And The Chipmunk Adventure, awesome. Who wouldn't love a crazy hot-air balloon race around the world which was really an evil plot by a bunch of diamond smugglers? Plus there was singing. But I'm a 25 year old there is no reason for me to love the new movie (and watch it twice in the last week) and yet I do.

Anywho...That's all the sharing I think I can handle right now.
