PB&J

pam beesly and jim...what a waste. -kevin

so i'm a little obsessed. just a little.

what can i say? i love it.

check one

one of the things on my list to was to finish my report on Amazon's Kindle.

and now i want one-- kinda. as cool as it would be buy a book and have it delivered directly, i think i would miss the feel of having a book in my hands to flip through...


other things in life are going good. wedding planning is going to start picking up soon. i'm in a little bit of sticker shock...so much money. school is almost over. work is good. and the office is still my favorite show.



i found this at one my favorite blogs: Life in the Office.

my list of things to do

has grown terribly large and thus can't be written down to avoid boring the few readers i have.

wish me luck

no day but today

last night whitney, jordan, and i went to see RENT at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center. loved it!!! it was amazing--- better then the movie (although i still like the movie. i heart adam pascal.) there was a lot more sexual content in the actually musical then the movie, and at some parts my mouth was dropping opening. beautiful music, though. most the play in sang. i have the music soundtrack, but the original broadway CD has more song--currently bidding on one on ebay!



coming up on my performing arts agenda:

my job

on mondays and wednesday i work at the library with matt. recently matt and i have spent all four hours quoting the office. it's pretty much the best thing ever. and this is my favorite:

i heart dane cook

fairy tales

a couple of weeks ago I signed up for a harpercollins profile, which basically just keeps me updated on different authors and such. today i got an email that i had won one of their firstlooks drawings. i'm going to receive one of the advanced reader copies of EVER by Gail Carson Levine, author of Ella Enchanted. While I do like Ella Enchanted (both the book and the movie), I've also read her book Fairest, which I also like, so I'm pretty happy to receive Ever! I like the way Levine takes fairy tales and creates strong female characters. Fairest is somewhat like Snow White, and Ella Enchanted is close to Cinderella. I wonder what fairy tale Ever is modeled after (if any)? I suppose I could look it up but I think I'll keep it a surprise. My guess is Sleeping Beauty.

it doesn't come out until May 6, but you can pre-order it here.

my hope for american lies here

Today was a good day.

most of my friends know i have a slight obsession with weddingbee

it's a wonderful blog.

(we will ignore the fact that i read it almost a year and a half before i was engaged.)

they have some great contest from time to time and 

today i won their biggest contest yet. 

ladies and gentlemen i give you my new mattress

that's right--it's a vera wang/serta. plus i get her snazzy new book SIGNED.

i did a wonderful happy dance.

and then called jordan. who promptly asked me who vera wang was.

hung up and called me mum. who knew who vera wang was.

it was a good day.

march is women's history month. i'm going to try to come up with a list of women each week who i admire for one reason or another, starting with my favorite women authors, whom i love for their works or personality

1. Jane Austen- love love love her. currently reading northanger abbey. 
2. Ayn Rand- the fountainhead is one of my favorite books. trying to read atlas shrugged.
3. Meg Cabot- great author with a great personality. i read her blog a a lot. she's very real and i can relate to a lot of what she writes (minus being a teen pop star, saving the president, and becoming a princess)
4. Emily Dickinson- one of my favorites poets in the world. read "heart we will forget him". beautiful
5. Charlotte Gilman- wrote my favorite short story ever, the yellow wallpaper, it's very good. active feminist, with women's mental health in mind. 
6. Maureen Johnson- i have read more than one book by her, but i have mentioned her in my blog before. loving the jk rowling references, hating the fact she was banned in my town's mid-high, on my list of my million books to read at the library
7. Margaret Mitchell- gone. with. the. wind. 
8. Elizabeth Kostova- awaiting a new novel from her. loved the historian. one of the best books. pausing now to check amazon for new works. please hold.....nothin'

it's one am! i am going to sleep. more lists later.

messy.

that is what my room is. messy. 

and bookshelf too.

so i'm cleaning off my bookshelf. 

enough to find my newest book, plop myself on my bed and read.

the room will just have to wait.
