2. Bought some new books: Looking for Alaska, Inexcusable, and Give a Boy a Gun. I've already read the last one (for my thesis), but I've heard tons of book talks on the first two and am so excited to read them. I've gotten through a few chapters of Looking for Alaska and am so impressed by the voice! And I've heard more than a few writerly people say that's what's most important in YA: voice. I'm interested to read Inexcusable because the book is narrated by a guy who's been accused of rape. We've been discussing unlikable narrators/characters who do despicable things lately, and I want to see how the author handles this character.
Oh, and two songs for my friend who thinks Modest Mouse is too "cute."
Bukowski (which I really didn't appreciate until I actually read some Bukowski in my poetry class last summer)

One of my friends recently fell in love with Modest Mouse.
Hey, book buying seems to be going around! Maybe we'll all buy enough books to pick the publishing companies out of their economic slumps and take back the story from those darn e-readers? Maybe? We can do it! Viva la Revolution! I mean no, we don't want the revolution. Viva la Books!
I find I sometimes need time to just talk about writing and not write. I think it helps me process something, LOL. :-)
BOO to #1! Even though I'm guilty of it pretty much all the time. Also reading about writing instead of actually writing. -_-
