Random Thoughts

Seems like a good day for some random thoughts and things from my brain.

• I finally caved and started reading the Hunger Games series. And...I can't even. I just can't. I was late to lunch with my dad on Saturday because I was reading. I spent pretty much ALL waking hours on Sunday reading. Occasionally I have to set the book down because I just can't handle it. It's a sickness and I can't fight it.

• Last week, after I went to bed way past my bedtime because I was reading, I punished myself by making the rule that I could only read the book (that night) if I was working out. Which is also how I ended up on a recumbent bike for over an hour on a Thursday night.
  

• I'm halfway through book 2 and have decided I can no longer read it in public. Given the frequency of me yelling out "YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME."
  

• I watched Twilight for the first time this weekend. (Related: why yes, I am in fact 15 years old). Gotta say, I've been in a very strong anti-Twilight stance since my coaching days (spend 4 years w/ 45+ high school girls when it first came out and you would be too.) So I went in with a bitter taste. I get why people like it (kinda). I do NOT think Edward (or anything about what he does) is sexy. I found most of it creepy. Oh and when he flies through the woods with Bella on his back like a monkey? Yeah, right. I kept a straight face.

• I did promise to watch the second one as I believe I'll have a stronger liking for Jacob. But I don't have high hopes.

• I'm on this John Mayer bender that just won't quit. I've got John pandora stations on both of my phones (in case one dies? I'm not sure why) and have listened to them pretty much the last 5 days. I hope it eases up soon, it makes me sad he's such a douche.

• I really want to see Sherlock Holmes 2. And have had a craving to re-watch Ironman 2. I think I have a thing for Robert Downey Jr. I'm okay with this.

• A friend and I are booking tickets this week to go and visit another friend down in Houston. Which means, I'm going to Texas y'all. I anticipate this will bring back a strong desire to re-watch all 5 seasons of FNL. I'm also okay with this.

• I have really been wanting to go back and watch the entire series of the OC. But I'm a little afraid I'll be tragically disappointed in how bad it is. Like if I just leave those DVD's in their boxes I can go on pretending it was a masterpiece from my past. (plus I mean I did watch the whole thing like a million times back in college. We didn't have cable in our rooms ok?!)

• Sometimes I wonder if posting things like this will come back to bite me when a future suitor finds this blog and is all, "woah, woah, woah. What do you mean you've seen the entire OC series more than once. And just what do you mean by 'obsessed' with Friday Night Lights? You use the recumbent bike at the gym? But you only had to walk up three stairs, how did you hit your head so hard? Why do you tell people you talk to your animals so often?"

Good for today, no?
