Reading and books and Star Trek

Okay, so every year I set a resolution (or a goal really) of reading 10 books. Last year, I don't even know that I read one book...(Fine! um... I did read one. It was by Tori Spelling, so I don't think it counts, hmmmm?... Anna, you'll have to weigh in on this). So this year I've started off well and I've read four already - I'm on track to meet or exceed my goal. Here is the list of books I've read as well as some that I'd like to read for 2012.

• The Help - loved it. Hated the movie.
• The Hunger Games - loved it. Haven't seen the movie (for reason, see above)
• Catching Fire - loved it.
• Mockingjay - liked it.

The next book I'm planning to start is The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Diaz and I'm waiting on Fifty Shades of Grey from the library so I can get my mommy-porn on.

I think I will hold off on my book reading until I can watch the Star Trek (Original Series) movies, which I have never seen. Got a date with the Shat, and my Saturday popcorn (yum!)

Saturday? Oh No! It's Friday!

The girl and I got up this morning and had a lovely day. We sat around in our pajamas and watched many episodes of "The Wonder Pets" and "Team Umizoomi". It was great. I even made popcorn on the stove when she asked me to - this is usually reserved for weekend days - which I thought it was. I was so sure today was Saturday that I would've bet money on it. I know what you're thinking and the answer is "No, I wasn't partaking in any 4/20 festivities." I was just having a lovely pseudo-Saturday until my mother called and asked when I would be bringing the girl to her house. I said "Why would we come on Saturday?" to which my mom replied, "Oh, it's Saturday? No! The kids are at school." So... I'm at work now and just not feeling it. I want to go back to have the rest of my Saturday. I guess it's a good thing there is more popcorn.

Hologram TuPac?

Did everyone see Hologram TuPac @ Coachella but me? I just heard about it and I can't believe that that was not a person. Crazy. It is a little bit scary that they can make some dead person materialize in front of you. I suppose it is good news for all those people behind Elvis, Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston. These artists can continue to be a cash cow - or even more so - in death. They can headline tours. They are never sick or hung over, you will never get a bad show and they don't have to see a cut of the profit. As my friend Angela would say, "N-I-C-E!"
