I feel like all I've done is read, but that can't be true. I seem to know too much about what's happened lately on the Real Housewives of Atlanta, Jersey Shore, Top Chef, and a couple of shows about people losing weight. So clearly I've been doing more than reading. All the TV watching led to the completion of a fairly long knitted scarf with a discernible pattern (my first true one like that) and a small cross-stitched gift for a friend's birthday.
I did a little shopping with some girlfriends last week. Gift cards are the best. Thanks, Santa! That same day, my roommate and I watched that Valentine's Day that was out last year...the one with like a billion famous people in it. It wasn't great, but at least not everyone ended up with the perfect cookie cutter romantic relationship...and Julia Roberts totally did an old school prop for Pretty Woman in the bits during the credits.
My roommate and I also watched War, Inc. with John Cusack. I can't believe I hadn't seen it! It was so very funny...very much the feel of a sequel to Gross Point Blank...you know, like if Dan Ackroyd's character actually managed to get everyone together and unionize the hit men instead watching TV a little too up-close and personal. If you're not a die-hard, ultra-right-wing conservative Republican with no sense of humor, you should really like this movie (from what I can tell, that's part of the population that would most likely skip reading my little blog anyway).
My plans for the weekend are to talk about the Hunger Games trilogy (finished well before the New Year, sorry) over dinner, go to two birthday celebrations, meet various friends over the course of two days, and hopefully make something for this week's IronCraft challenge (cup cozies are the theme). Next week I plan to purchase the last of a five-part book series (teen) because it will be out in paperback finally. Those teen books are what will make the list for the month seem so big. Short reading time, but thoroughly entertaining.
