So this is my first post. In fact this my first post on my first blog. I have decided to start a blog because of sheer boredom, not because I actually have anything important to say. My roommate suggested I start one because, well, I have a lot of free-time at work. I have also discovered that most of my family already have blogs so why not join the crowd. Who knows, this may be my only post; I could run out of things to say after this. In fact I think I've already run out of things to say right now.
Books I've read lately / been reading:
Just finished:
Angela's Ashes by Frank Mccourt - I wasn't as impressed with it as I was hoping to be. Very blunt writing, and a very sad childhood. Kind of a downer on men.
The Secret Life of Bee's by Sue Monk Kidd - Her first novel, and I really enjoyed it. I love the way she writes. It's kind a feminist book, about the power of women, but it's not necessarily a downer on men. I just found out that they are making it into a movie.
Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson - My sister gave this book to me for my birthday. I recommend this book. Kind of a high-school / teen book, but I still thought it was a very good book.
Just started:
Chronicles of Narnia series - I'll let you know what I think.
I've been commissioned by my sister to paint a picture of my interpretation of William Wordsworth's poem, "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud". Maybe I'll post some of my progress. Maybe. Right now I'm doing it in water color, but I would really like to do it in oil. However, I have 6 roommates, and oil can be quite strong so I'm not sure they would appreciate that. Maybe someday when I have more ventilation.
