A year later

So it's been a year since I started this blog. I did pretty well.....for about 8 months. Then not so much. I am now 27 and still in relatively the same place. What has happened since my last update? Not a whole lot - but lets make a list, shall we?

• I started going out for breakfast with people I work with. We tend to go the Friday after payday, so about every two weeks. It's been interesting. I tend to laugh a lot.
• I finally watched "Twilight". Specifically, I watched the first half pretty well, laughing occasionally at bits that reminded me of this SNL "Twilight" parody:
• I watched "New Moon". It turns out I am on Team Jacob and actually enjoyed the werewolves more than the vampires. It wasn't the best movie ever but I was distracted by other things (see: werewolves).
• A friend found this video which I think is hilarious and falls in line with my obsession with vampires:
  See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor.
• "How I Met Your Mother" made an episode called Slapsgiving 2: Revenge of the Slap which was awesome just for the name alone.
• The Saskatchewan Roughriders made it to the Grey Cup. They were winning most of the game until the last 10 seconds when they lost because there were too many players on the field during a field goal attempt which gave them a penalty. It was quite devastating.

It's been an interesting year. I am happy I did the blog but I am disappointed that I couldn't keep up with it. I may continue updating it if something awesome happens but that may not happen.

Thanks for reading!!!!

Somehow, I think they frown on this but....

Today, I went to a bookstore and ended up reading an entire book in one sitting. I hadn't intended to read the entire thing, especially since I wasn't planning to buy it, but I read one page and then another and then another and all of a sudden, it was three hours later and there were no more pages to turn. I want to actually buy the book at some point but it's only out in hardcover right now and I can't really justify the price of the book even to my own book-junky self. It also helped me assuage my curiousity of what happens next in the series since I was #187 on the holds list at the library and quite impatient. So now my curiousity is assuage but I feel quite guilty about not buying the book since I had read it anyway. Anyway, today's favourite thing is getting lost in a good book.

What the heck was I going to write about?

I am pretty sure that before I went to work I knew exactly what my post for today was going to be about. Now that I am home again, I have absolutely no idea what it was. It wasn't a hugely eventful day for me. I pretty much slept, read, and various other non-extraordinary things. What I did read was quite enjoyable though. Since before I even started watching the series "True Blood", I've been trying to get into the books they're based on. I started reading the first one before I watched the season and finished it well after. I think part of my problem may have been trying to read/watch them both at the same time because while the series is based on the books, not everything is exactly the same so it was hard to separate the two. I have since read the second and am starting the third. Once I got into the books, they have been quite enjoyable. Provided, of course, that you like reading about vampire-type creatures. So anyway, unless an unlikely event occurs where I remember my intended topic for this post, today's favourite things is the Sookie Stackhouse mystery series by Charlaine Harris.
