Wow. I’m tired. I saw The Hunger Games last night. It was quite an experience. When we arrived at the mall around 10:00 we were surprised to find a line wrapped around the entire mall. Some teenagers had apparently been there since 6:00 in the morning. The wait really wasn’t too bad. After walking the…

Last week, I mentioned that I had started reading Girl in Translation by Jean Kwok. I finished it this week and I really, really liked it. It’s the story of a young girl and her mother that immigrate from Hong Kong to the U.S. Neither of them speak much English and are at the mercy of the…

I began reading Girl in Translation this week. It’s the story of a girl and her mother and their new lives in America, after coming to the U.S. from Hong Kong. So far I’m enjoying it. It also has really good reviews. Sorry, if you’ve already seen this. If you haven’t, it’s pretty funny. I’ve always loved Kristen…

After seeing the previews for Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, I decided I needed to move the book up on my “To Read” list. Luckily the library has the book for Kindle. I started reading it this week. It reminds me a lot of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. There is…

Fabulous K I know, another Steve Jobs post. I find him very inspiring. Have you seen A Sister’s Eulogy for Steve Jobs? It’s a beautiful piece. I finished watching the first season of Downton Abbey and I loved it! I liked the first episode but wasn’t sure why people loved it so much, but then…

Wow. Things have been pretty busy around here. It’s been very exciting to receive quite a few orders in my store, and extra stressful due to the very noticeable slowdown in shipping times. I’m learning lots of lessons for next year! I’m also starting to be a little extra stressed out because I don’t have all my…

Jennifer Rubell via A Cup of Jo Ever wonder what it would be like to be engaged to a prince? Engagement, an art exhibit in London, lets you stand next to a wax figure of Prince William. You can even slip your finger into a replica of the engagement ring. I finished reading The Double…

iPad Arcade Cabinet at Think Geek After sharing last week’s iPad gadget, I stumbled across this iCase – iPad Arcade Cabinet at 7th House on the Left, which I like better. It takes me back to my childhood. I always wanted one of the personal Pac-Man games that looked like a big video game. But…

I am really excited that Chuck is back. I’m sad that it’s the last season, but at least we get another season. Casey is favorite character. He has some of the best lines. I wanted to embed this video but I couldn’t. That’s classic Casey. If you haven’t watched the show, you should get…

If you think Amanda Knox was guilty, I highly recommend reading The Monster of Florence. I was on the fence before reading it, but by the time I finished it I was convinced she was not guilty. I thought the book was going to be the story of a notorious serial killer but instead it’s…
