Day 1...

Started this (fiendish) juice diet today.  Sounded like a good idea--I LOVE fruit and veggies!--until I had to actually drink it.  I think I would rather just eat a few carrots and starve myself.  Just gotta stay out of "starvation" mode.  I guess if I just drink it when I am REALLY hungry, maybe it will taste good.

So I read "God, No" before spring break.  Hilarious.  Highly recommended, though you will learn things about Penn you probably never wanted to know.

On that subject, the Penn & Teller show is awesome.  (sorry--low energy, gotta try harder)  AWESOME!  I wish I could go see them every night but that much time in Vegas would kill me.  On Wednesday, we went to see Blue Man Group.  That was also AWESOME!  Not exactly what I expected but in a good way.  It was really funny.  Would go to that again too.

Blarrgh.  I wish I could get this horrible grassy taste out of my mouth.  :(  Need to use an actual recipe for this shit or I'm not going to make it through the week.  Here's a tip:  never drink greens.

Statement of Intentions

Sorry.  Too many comp 2 papers.  (ya had to be there)

But seriously, I had really intended for this to be, if not entirely, a blog at least MOSTLY about books.  Maybe this summer.  I read in every free moment I have but I really should have less moments than I do.  I need to spend more time on comp and more time on anthro and more time...ya know...cleaning the house and being a domestic goddess or something like that.  Ug.  Just the thought of it makes me queasy.  Would maybe be more appealing if I didn't have a problem drinking before noon.  And if I didn't have to drive to get the kids.

So.  Books.  I have completed the first 2 books in the Millennium Trilogy, otherwise known as "The Girl Who Did Stuff" books.  Good.  Really good.  Not mind-blowing but I am definitely engaged and always eager to keep reading.  Unfortunately, I am going to have to take a short break from them to read "God, No", by Penn Jillette.  We are going see Penn and Teller in Vegas (baby!) and Tim bought the book to get signed (cuz word is they meet EVERYONE who stays after the show), and I would feel like a shithead having him sign something I hadn't read.  I also feel like maybe I need to get Teller's book so that he knows he is also loved.  Lil cutie pie.  ;)  Yes, definitely.  Need a Teller book if I can get my hands on one.  Put that one on the to-do list.

AAK!  Its almost va-ca time!  I am a bundle of nerves.  I just need to make it through this math test today--and then 2 days of class next week--and I am home free!  Its a good thing skipping class won't make Friday get here any faster.  I will be in my beloved San Francisco in 8 days time.  (I will try to keep my 'squees' to myself)  Hopefully we will not be running around like crazed monkeys as much this visit.  There are just too many hills and not enough time.
