Warholizer
In that middle picture, Rachael Ray and I really could be twins. Scary. Make your own Warhol art here.
I love you Irma!
A few months ago, I posted about my Great Aunt Irma who turned 95. She passed away a few days ago, which isn't such a sad thing at 95 when you're sick all the time and would much rather be nagging with your husband in the next life. Ironically enough, I read this post on death on a great blog a few minutes ago and even though its about death, it made me laugh pretty hard, so I thought I'd share. Thank you to Shenanigans for the laugh, whoever you are. :) Perfect timing.
Bookworm
So last night, I took Roommate with me to the East Bay to a little Goodbye party for my friend Erin. Erin just graduated with her Masters degree in Marriage & Family Therapy, but has decided to take a break for a while and be a river guide on the American river this summer in Auburn. Sounds like a great idea to me! Might as well avoid adulthood as long as possible, right?
Well, on the way over to San Ramon, Roommate and I started talking about books and how much we love them. How we can't fathom how anyone could hate reading. I mean...I was an English literature major in college, so its no big surprise that I feel the way I do. Roommate was/is an Illustrator (which I guess is still artsy) so I was semi surprised. It was a breath of fresh air to be able to talk to someone who is as passionate about books as I am. I dated a guy once who saw a shelf full of books in my room and said "Wow; I don't think I've read that many books in my entire life." My response was "Umm..those are the books I've read just this semester." Yeah...big surprise that one didn't work out.
One of my favorite things EVER is to talk to people about books. I love recommending books to people and hearing what they thought of them. (Which reminds me...Mom, have you read that book that I let you borrow yet? Quit making excuses and read it!) So at the very bottom of the sidebar, I'm going to start my list of book recommendations. Instead of you emailing me, asking me what books you should read next, reference my list. If you want a more detailed explanation of the books on the list or want a list of books that I have read and hated, I guess you'll still have to email me. Oh...AND if you want to email me with books that you absolutely loved, maybe I'll make a list for that too. I LOVE book recommendations, so email away, friends!

Running Update
So...bad news.
I have shin splints.
I'm going to take a break from running until my half-marathon in hopes that they'll heal enough that I can run. Don't worry; I'll still be working out at the gym on the elliptical.

At Your Local Naan-N-Curry
There's just something odd about having a tapestry of what seems to be a 6 year old white girl with boobs looking seductively at you...while you eat Indian food.

UN Countries?
A few weeks ago I put up a quiz for you to try where you name the 50 states in 10 minutes or less and see how much time you have left. Well, here's the same type of quiz for you but you have to name all 192 countries in the UN in 10 minutes or less. ha! I had 117 countries left. How many do you??
Weekend
My weekend was packed tight with good times, relaxation, and good friends. Just the way a weekend should be, I say.
Last night I went to my first Bite Sized Revolutions meeting (see the link on the right to check it out on your own) to discuss what we can do to help stop the genocide in Darfur. Honestly, I wanted to cry during most of the meeting. After talking to some people about it, the general attitude is apathy. I can't say that I don't ever feel the same way about current events and other issues. I mean...what really can I do? Well, check out this website to see what little "bite" we can all take in making something happen for these people. 5.7 Jews were killed in the Holocaust in Europe and over 400,000 have already been killed in Sudan. So tragic. Its easy to sit back and think that this conflict in Sudan will never truly affect us, but how would you feel if you were the one who was in Sudan? Make a call, sign a petition; you never know what your one little voice can do.
