bookstores are always a good place to be

Afew months back one of my favourite podcasts included an awesome song as their outro. I loved it. I kept skipping back the minute and 56 seconds to listen to it. I tried searching the lyrics on the internet but I could not find that version. I gave up after an hour (I tried!) . Then only occasionally thought of it since then.

Last week I was half an hour early for dinner with friends, so stopped off at a bookstore to browse for awhile. I was on my eigth back-of-the-book read through when the song played over the soundsystem. The very nice counter clerk (and by very nice I mean she got all upset that I was interuppting her discussion with a co-worker) told me the soundtrack that was playing. The song, and all the songs on that CD are currently uploading to my iPod. Internet? bookstores win again.

In other news, I bought four lemons today. for a dollar. They are bright and yellow and happy. And only a 25 cents each.

In defence of sangria

In response to Peter: I am totally looking forward to Saturday Sangria, I think the missing part is looking forawrd to things like summer vacation and such.

There is a hole in my bucket, dear Liza a hole.

Christine would appreciate it if she had something to look forward to.*

Thank you.

The no blogging is as a result of the library

I haven't blogged much lately, and I blame the reading.

I have developed this habit of putting books on hold throught the library system. It started when I discovered that there is a library located right near a subway stop that is routinely on my way to other things (as opposed to the library that is near me, which is actually out of the way of my every day life) . I also found out that the library system will gladly bring books to the library of my choosing! I just go online, ask them to bring a book to my library AND THEY DO IT!!!! As a result of this I have read over 10 books in about three weeks.

I must say that for all the hype and all the people saying, that you have to read it because it will change your life, Eat Pray Love was still a really good read. And the Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time, also very good.
