Saturday...

So many books...so little time. In the few short days that make up my time off and when I'm not doing boring responsible things like laundry, cooking {like to eat dislike to cook unless I'm feeling inclined to do so} and dusting {in my imaginary maid uniform} I've spent them wisely lolly-gagging about in my starving artist garret here and decadently...reading. Yesterday I went through 'Bad Boy' by Olivia Goldsmith. It was very true to life, cute and funny, and it also somehow reminded me of the manga 'Nana.' Today I've read a delightful tale by one of my favorite modern/comedy/romance writers Susan Elizabeth Phillips entitled 'Lady Be Good.' Her heroes are always totally awesome guys and you can imagine yourself in the heroine's shoes, not to mention that its enjoyable to see {read} the progress and the ups and downs of their relationships as they fall deep{er} in love. Also I polished off Janet Evanovich's 'Metro Girl' a book that has slipped from my fingers like quicksand until I was recently able to pick up a rather well used copy and consume it in the space of a few uninterrupted hours. I absolutely loved it. I felt some of the Stephanie Plum vibe except it was a bit more southern and beach-y yet it still had all the fun and fast action and crazy criminals and cool guys. Now I'm debating whether or not to start in on a retro Sandra Brown romance novel 'Demon Rumm.' I would also like to re-read my worn copy of Jennifer Crusie's 'The Cinderella Deal' which is totally one of my favorite light hearted modern day comedy romances I've come across. That or quit the books for tonight and laugh at random stuff posted on the failblog site. Lastly I'm chillaxing and listening to KRTH and hearing a string of great disco songs and wondering what happened to the hour of disco at noon that used to play on KOST or another station I can't remember? I got addicted to Donna Summer, The BeeGees, and KC & The Sunshine Band and countless others that way. Now I'm feeling in the mood for some classic rock but I don't feel like getting up and tuning the dial again. Also I'm missing my Foreigner greatest hits cd, and my AC/DC hits cassette tape. And after hearing Styx 'Mr. Roboto' the other day I now have an urge to look up 'Renegade' on YT. Oh and Katy Perry on vinyl is freakin' amazing. Just for that she deserves to win some kind of award for hipster coolness. Peace.
