Stess's Journal

So, I don't think I've mentioned this yet, but Carmel has a wicked awesome library. Like, better-than-a-college-library library. Even my brother gets excited about the library - mostly because one half of the downstairs is devoted to CDs/DVDs/VHS/Audiobooks/and Computer Games. Yes, folks. You can rent computer games. From the library. *squees* (is totally planning to rent the original Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego and FINALLY BEAT IT so that she will have some closure in her life)

Anyway, I decided to finally read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Funniest. Book. Ever. Now I'm reading Book 2 - The Restaurant at the End of the Universe.

Name a CD you own that you think no-one else on your friends list does. Heh. How about Ace of Base? Or the soundrack to "Into the Woods", the soundtrack of Titanic, the first N*Sync album...(i don't own it anymore, it was terrible, lapse in judgement, shuddup)

Name a book you own that you think no-one else on your friends list does.
Well I would say "Perks of Being a Wallflower", but just in case Jenny or Paige reads this, I'll say the Dragon Nimbus series by Irene Radford, just because it's kind of an obscure fantasy series I found at the library and liked.

Name a movie you own on DVD/VHS/whatever that you think no-one else on your friends list does.
Gosford Park, Danny Deckchair, Calendar Girls, and Saving Grace because most of them are British Comedies that arent's so well known. Those or maybe Titanic because I really do love that movie.

Name a place that you have visited that you think no-one else on your friends list has.
Mykonos, Athens, Thessalonica, Crete, Cairo, Aswan, Luxor, Rome...unless you've been to HUG then you did go there...other than that I haven't really been anywhere in the US that no one else would have been to. Except maybe Piggot, Arkansas.

Name a piece of technology or any sort of tool you own that you think no-one else on your friends list has. My pride and joy, my Powermac G5. (and by the way Nate, i do SO own a legal copy of Photoshop BOOYA)

I decided to finish reading this book a friend of mine gave me for christmas, and now I can't sleep. Why? Because it was a *weird* book. Very well written, but slightly disturbing book. And I'm afraid to go to sleep, because every time I close my eyes I get weird nightmarish visions straight out of the book. Damn my overactive imagination.

And yet...I really want to read the sequel?

Adams assigned us a book. I read it in 45 minutes.
It touched me. From Addicted to Mediocrity by Franky Shaeffer:

( Read more... )
Amen. A thousand times over.
Anyone in the media/arts or interested in art/music/literature/media/poetry/dance/whatever should read this book. Everyone.
