Real quick first of all, for those reading who enjoy country music, and a more classic country at that, you should all check out Ryan Adam's new album. Very good. He's got a great voice and his return to country from the last album, rock and roll, is welcome. We've been listening to a good bit of it at work lately.
We've also had quite a star-studded week this week. Ted Turner had a business dinner, Katie Curic had dinner (she used to be a major regular. she basically ate nowhere else), and Al Sharpton came in for dinner tonight. It really isn't all that interesting though. It means very little to our work, I don't get to see them at all, so it's pretty much business as usual. Only with recognizable names being bandied about.
And now to the real exciting events this week...who else has finished Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince?!?! I want to know what you think! I'm not into spoilers, so I won't say anything. But I either warn everyone who doesn't want to know what's going on to not read any responses or for anyone to just email me at woodss42@yahoo.com. And if anyone hasn't read it yet, do so, post haste. Catch up with the rest of the books if you need to. I even have them at home. Unless Kelli's shipped them to me yet. Then she has them all. Borrow hers. They're very fun, easy, the perfect summer read. And if you're not into HP and would prefer a good Dracula story, check out the Historian. It's quite good, this summers' runaway bestseller. It's a mystery, thriller, literary chase involving a very Bram Stoker's Dracula-ian plot. Also a good summer read. Actually, how about everyone posts their reading lists for the summer. What they've read, what they're reading, what they're into. Mine would be huge. Other then Harry Potter and the Historian, I've read or am reading: Franny and Zooey(salinger), Silvia Plath's journals, a collection of Richard Brautigan short-stories, a biography of MLK Fisher, and the latest McSweeneys, which comes with a comb. And that doesn't include various magazines and literary periodicals. I spend a lot of time on the subway.

SARA! I'm so ashamed! I'm only on page 200! I keep trying to read but i'm SO tired I just fall asleep! We've done nothing today! I just got my bill for this semester from GVSU. $3110. That's some hot stuff right there! That's about equal to 1.5 classes at AQ.
Oh, I'm buying the Bonneville from lost padres so you can have you car back whenever you need it. I've been driving it for 2 months with expired plates :) just remmebered your bday was like a year ago and that they expired. It's all good. i have yet to get a ticket we're safe! Well I'm going to go read a few pages and then take another nap. I was up until 2:30 and up at 9 so I'm tired. You forget that i need 12 hours nightly ;) Love ya!
I finished it within the first weekend it was out. SOOOO GOOOOD!!! It made me laugh, cry, and scream. I doubt I'll let my third graders read it (especially in Zeeland), but I plan on picking it up again soon.
Have you seen "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" yet??
Love ya!
Amanda
