Quick update, yo!

I have a really huge Christmas post planned but I keep getting sidetracked (read: I keep reading books and watching movies and drinking beer). But I have many things to say about Christmas and some funny pictures to show everyone.

On books: I cannot get through the last "Twilight" book. It is painfully boring and I don't care about the characters anymore. I'm taking a break from it and in the meantime I've read "Who Censored Roger Rabbit?" and I'm currently reading "The Botany of Desire." The Roger Rabbit book was way, way different than the movie. I love the movie and the book was great but it was much more noir-y and adult. "Botany" is amazing so far. I really love Michael Pollan's writing style and I am never bored by what I'm reading.

On movies: please, please, please go see "Slumdog Millionaire." It is great. I also rented "Penelope" and found that it wasn't as bad as critics have said. But I love Christina Ricci so maybe I'm a bit biased.

I'm trying to do as many fun things as possible before school starts next week. I'm also trying to organize an Obama Inauguration party that is turning into just an excuse to make a weird cheese dish and drink wine. But anyone that wants to come is invited. I'll get writing that Christmas post for real.
