My Name's Elizabeth & I'm a Book Addict

I finished "The Glass Castle" by Jeannette Walls. It was awesome. What a great read. Another great memoir. I'm a roll lately with memoirs. My next book is a Vonnegut novel and then I think I'll read another memoir. I'll read the Harry Potter books one of these days soon. I'm being bugged to read them all. My excuse used to be that I had to wait until they were all out. Well, now they are. We have all of them at home, except we're missing the 6th one. Apparently it's in Tahoe. Once we get that one and the series is complete, I suppose I will embark upon the Harry Potter adventure.

I'm listening to Tegan & Sara, "So Jealous". It's a great album. I'm awaiting the newest album of Death Cab for Cutie. I ordered it a few weeks ago & still hasn't arrived. I'm hoping for Monday. It's funny how the wait for my CDs & books is unbearable sometimes. I don't really know why. I just get so excited for it all. It's weird.

This weekend is supposed to be really hot. I'm not looking forward to it. I don't like it when it gets this hot. Granted it's not humid, just dry. I'd rather be in a dry heat. I think I'd rather it be cooler period. Oh well, not really up to me.

My work gave me a blackberry. While it's kinda fun to be out of the office and still be able to check emails, it's still a bit odd that we have all this technology. I mean I had a pager in high school and my friends & I had "pager code" a language we devised where each letter had a corresponding number or numbers. We had it memorized so well, that we could just glance at it and know what it said. Now it all looks just like numbers and I can't see the letters in it. Now we can text each other with the entire alphabet and punctuation. We've definitely come a long way in a rather short period of time. I'm waiting for the time where I can hook up a wire to Grr's head and her thoughts are output onto my blackberry...what would she say? "Feed me". :)
