Back to School

Hello 2007. I've now broken the month-long blog silence.

I really couldn't be bothered to blog over break, because cocktail hour was just so important.

New Year's Resolution: Read 20 books this year.
There's a girl who reads 50 books a year and talks about them on her blog (50books.blogspot.com) and she inspired me to read more. Unfortunately I'm a college student so a book a week seems a little out of my reach. I felt I could do one every 3 weeks during school and more than one a week during breaks. That puts me between 20 and 30 books this year.

So in honor of this new goal, I stole the book ticker from Miranda's blog and have been sucked into the world of librarything.com. Its fun.

As of now, I'm reading The Godfather. I'm nearly half-way through and its completely living up to the movies. Its (of course) somewhat better, but kudos to the movie makers for capturing the essence of the characters and staying true to the story. (Unlike some story-raping jerks I could mention involved in the making of the travesty that became "The Count of Monte Cristo".)

I've already read several books in the first few weeks of the year and I'm about to comment upon them in their own entries.

In other departments....
My crew is finally somewhat reunited- Dana and I are both on campus this semester, as well as Melissa as a grad student and JD as a graduate who is staying in town. JD has a pretty new girlfriend who we all like. Should make for a wicked fun semester. I'm taking 17 hours this semester, one is a easy "just show up" class and 3 of those hours are spanish so it should be considerably less demanding than last semester. Fingers crossed.

Ok. I've bored myself. Entries to come on "Hey, Nostradamus", "Cash", "Never Have your Dog Stuffed" and "High Fidelity".
