Book Smarts
I don't really discuss books on here much but I am an avid reader. Though it is easier to read when I don't have to work. The working sucks all my time. Anyway, I have recently used my library card to rekindle my high school love of WP Kinsella. Most of you are probably like "who the hell is that?" but you all know who he is, even if you don't. He is the man responsible for the book that turned into Field of Dreams. Although the dude is Canadian, he loves to write about baseball.
As some of you may know, though I am not really a baseball fan per se, I love baseball moves and, yes, baseball books. For me baseball is all about the history and legacy, not really the sport. But I digress, I was talking about books.
Recently I also read Sex, Drugs and Cocoa Puffs by Chuck Klosterman. That book is totally hot even if I was a little late to the party on it. Any guy who can do a whole essay on the fact that Billy Joel is cool because he is uncool is a man I could love. Though I wouldn't really say that I have a literary crush on him.
My only literary crush is Stephen Elliott (http://www.stephenelliott.com). Not only do I love his book Happy Baby (one of the few books in recent years that I have reread) but he is totally hot. I will say again - Hot! Also he seems to play into a common theme in my life lately (though my crush on him is fairly longstanding) which is things from Chicago. Everytime I turn around there is something about Chicago. Oh well, at least the common theme in my life isn't "Things from LA" because then I would just be pissy all the time and probably up to my eyeballs in exboyfriend. That probably reads a bit weird, I only have one ex in LA but I think if everything in my life right now was all about LA, there would probably be a lot more of him in it. So good on that!
Though I will admit that I am secretly missing LA right now - but not just LA, California as a whole. I am missing it so much that I listened to Tupac and Dre's California Love 10 times last night (West Coast Represent!). I also once again contemplated making my California themed CD but decided against it. I have been talking about that mix since before there were mixed CDs but yet have never done it. It may make me a bit sad, especially Joni Mitchell's California which is one of my favorite songs but kills me every time.
I had a great weekend, there are pictures but I am feeling too lazy to post them. The rollergirls made $205 at Revo on friday, yet I didn't see any of you there.
