Why is it that last week when I was preparing for finally having the internet at home, I was reading the New Yorker and planning to get up to speed on working artists, highlighting (with an actual highlighter!) names of painters to look up - and then I get the internet, and what do I do?
Watch the catch up episode of CYCLE 16 (America's Next Top Model), and discover the winner just now by doing a damn google search...
Wouldn't have guessed, the non-role model girl - however, Louise Brooks style, still sexy after 80 years.
Still gonna watch the rest of the season, cause I have the house to myself and a six-pack of Miller Light pounders.
"Call Me Irresistible" - Susan Elizabeth Phillips - 2011
aka
"Call Me Spoiled" (Heroine)
"Call Me an Emotional Robot" (Hero)
"Call Me Out of Touch" (Author)
"Call Me Never Interested Golf, Ever"
"Call Me Insulting to the Working Class"
"Call Me Chock Full of Insipid Characters I Chose Not To Read About Before"
The heroine learns life lessons while working for minimum wage and tips (how hard for her). The hero is a multi-millionaire boy genius who cannot show emotions (how hard for him). There are approx. 8 million cameos. Golf is boring. They don't really like each other. Golf is really boring. Despite being a romance novel, the hero and heroine don't really like each other.
I understand the value of fantasy and escapism in romance, but you can find that without rich and/or famous characters. Contemporary millionaire heroes just upset me, however I have a higher tolerance for the rich in historical romance. If I'm reading about a duke, marquess, earl or even a baron - I'll buy that he's rich, it's 1814, being rich means he's also bathed recently - but if I'm reading about two 30 something's in a small Texas town in 2011, they don't have to be rich, just interesting and likable.
"Sweet Valley Confidential" - Francine Pascal - 2011
Thank you, Cara.
And Thank you, Back Cover, for finally teachin me what a MFin' lavaliere is!
I never would have made it through the audiobook, and it didn't have the sweet inside cover featuring Jessica and Elizabeth's classic Book One cover art.
I spent a hot Memorial Day, lazing about on the couch, surrounded by a haze of nostalgia and cheese!
Terrible book.
Also, I don't remember nearly as much about this fictional world as I thought I would. I bet the summaries in the ridiculous (on purpose?) epilogue would be funnier if I did though...
Also, no mention of much from SVU (no, not Special Victim's Unit - Sweet Valley University, also, there was definitely some date raping, kidnapping, etc) and no William White (a favorite sociopath).
Also, Bruce Patman is the nice one? And I bought it? (I'm such a sucker!)
"Bossypants" - Tina Fey - 2011
Tina Fey, I love you.
You are hilarious.
Thank you for 30 Rock,
and thank you for writing this book.
Cats know you love it when they lounge in your workspace.
They also know you love shedding on materials and hard bites to the forearm.
You love these things.
p.s. see that handsome man behind my handsome cat?
That's just the best birthday present ever, an original Bret Sarlouis painting of Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy.
p.s. Please ignore the bright blue bra hanging around my studio - it's for art, I swear.
