Oh the glory of books. I've read the "Hunger Games" trilogy, "The Mortal Instruments" (all that are released), reread "Pride and Prejudice" and "Sense and Sensibility" and I'm about to start on "Matched" and "Good Omens". I love books! :-)

I heard "Crazy Stupid Love" was REALLY good! Might have to drag the hubby to it. I really loved (yes, comic movie) "Captain America." I guess I went into it expecting absolutely NOTHING so I was pretty easy to please, but it's the best movie of the genre I've seen in a while (though "X-men: First Class" was pretty good too). And Joss Whedon (Buffy, etc) is directing the "Avengers" and I'm pretty much geeking out on the excitement of that coming out next year. Fun stuff!

P.S. Your dog is SO freaking adorable and the "Say my name" Voldemort song made me laugh. :-)

Ciao!

The Hunger Games are on my to-read list; everyone I know is telling me to read them. Fortunately it's not the same people who told me to read Twilight. ;)

I always go see the superhero movies, mainly because my sister loves them. My favorites have been The Dark Knight and probably Iron Man, because of the lolz and RDJ. They are good because you know what you're getting when you go in, but that's also why they can be lame/generic. Avengers will be fun, though! I can't wait to see how the hell they do that, so many heroes, so many egos haha.

I loved Dumbledore - i feel pretty and witty and GAAAAAY. fortunately I wasn't drinking anything at the time, I would have fried my keyboard.

Oh my GOD your puppy is amazing. And in the recent photos he does look like Einstein! Top marks. :D

Aaand also I can't wait to see Crazy Stupid Love, because I adore Emma Stone.

And books! The Help is splendid, totally gripping and entirely compelling. I loved it and couldn't put it down - real 3am book. And I read Testament of Youth earlier this year, and I really enjoyed it - she writes incredibly beautifully. BUT it is pretty much the tragicest thing in the entire world. oh God. Still, she is fab.

"You think the dead we loved ever truly leave us?" + Harry in the forest in Book 7 = TOTAL EMOTIONAL MELTDOWN. Blimey.

As for me, I am reading Caitlin Moran's How to Be a Woman, which is hilarious and brilliant and inspiring and also a bit sad, and The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton which is brilliant but depressing.

hahaha, thanks! einstein is a nightmare. he is smart and also probably has a learning disability, though, so. he is worthy of his namesake. we lurve him.

aslfkj I feel like every time I turn on the computer I increase my to-read list like tenfold. How to Be a Woman sounds awesome, feminism ftw. And The House of Mirth has been on my list of Classics I Swear I'll Read forever. :)

but first, The Help! Because the movie comes out this week.
