It's freezing here in Texas, and it's just WEIRD. I mean, it's May. It should be near the 90s and it's 50 43 degrees outside. Windy and tornadoes everywhere (which is also weird, because where is the warm air coming from to create the uplift?)
I finished Bossypants by Tina Fey and let me tell you this: that is required reading for all women writers/funny women. I wrote up a review (with an excerpt) at Hey Don't Judge Me.
Now I'm diving back into Rob Lowe's memoir, and holy crap, it's engaging to say the least. Who knew? That'll get a review, too.
Game of Thrones tonight, whoo! Recap up tomorrow. Diving back under the blankets, brrrr!

When's our next road trip? Next time I'm bringing the plague with me just to shake things up.
Glad to hear that Bossy Pants is a good read! I kept picking it up and putting it down in various airports, but finally decided it was too thin given the price because I'm incredibly cheap like that.
I am so glad to hear you're back home - did you kick the plague in it's throat meat? Also, I'm sure the book will be out cheaper (or at libraries) soon. It's truly one of the funnier things I've ever read.
The plague is still with me, I have named it and decided to keep it. It's much smaller though now and is hovering somewhere back in my face rather than constantly lurching out and making a dash for freedom.
Oh, I picked up Vanity Fair and it had part of RL's memoir in it, and you're right it was brain grabbable.
(You know those dvd's? Did I mention that I haven't actually seen them myself in case they are aweful? They were the only top selling NZ dvds that were available - but they've won awards and been top raters, so hopefully they wont be completely crap, and if they are, coasters!)
Rob Lowe's book is ASTOUNDING. In places it's like a real life "Less Than Zero" and it's amazing he came away from his life as an intelligent, loving and thoughtful person. I have Deep Thoughts about it, I'll shut up.
No, no, the Mr. is taking one series with him traveling next week, so I'm sure it will be hilarious to him. <-- see the implication there?
But if there were Airborne and Alkaselzer would be in it is as well. (I'll ignore the Airborne slight because Airborne is a forgiving pharmaceutical, but wait, I've said too much.)
Your implication made me laugh. :)
I'm thinking about getting a kindle (eeee!) so I will add that to my Fantasy List of Books to Get!
Rob Lowe has a memoir? I'm curious what he remembers of the 80's. *bookmarks*
Oh man, it's truly excellent so far, and I'm only to the casting of The Outsiders. He's a very good (albeit formal) writer - and HE wrote it, no outside help at all. It just came out on Thursday.
