The Notre Dame Diaries: June 7 - June 27.

x Not revised. x ♥♥♥ 6/7 Current Book: American Gothic Tales edited by Joyce Carol Oates Well, I've made a vow to myself to write literally every day during this summer without succumbing to the scrutinizing pig voice reverberating at the back of my head. To be fair, it's unlikely that I'll...

Just Say YES!!! To Charlottesville Real Estate

Charlottesville real estate is so fabulous..I could scream. I've been living in Charlottesville now for 11 years and have really wished I had been born and raised here instead of New York City. Why am I so stoked on Charlottesville real estate? Because: 1) It is my occupation; I am a Charlottesville...

mei’s meditations

GREAT NEWS! (I really want it in capital letters.). I’m done reading the book Something Wonderful by Judith McNaught. I was one of the books that I have read that made me cry. Cheesy but it’s true. Well, all I can say that it was one of the best book I have ever read. I would just like to...

echoes of conversation

The things I'm thinking about right now I don't want to write about because this is not a ~deprezzion journal~ and I'm not going to pretend to have a really intellectual outlook on life, so I'm going to write about Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, I guess. While I was in America for...

Darker than Blue

In the 1970s, a prophet of soul music, Curtis Mayfield chronicled the Black experience in urban America. His songs are revolutionary, filled with hope, unity, and togetherness. One song titled “We People Who Are Darker Than Blue” addresses the fact that regardless of our skin tones, all...

It should be 26 and 27, but it's been so long I've forgotten what the other 2 were...Rats! Okay, I do not recommend reading The Front by Patricia Cornwell unless you are forced to chose a book that you will read from cover to cover in less than a day. The characters were not only underdeveloped,...

Perfect Match, by Jodi Picoult: Book #18 in 2008

Book #18 in 2008: Perfect Match, by Jodi Picoult Why do I waste my time (and yours) with crappy books like this? Well, Jodi Picoult is sort of a chick version of John Grisham, and I'm reading a non-fiction book of essays that isn't necessarily a page-turner right now, so I off-set that book with...

Clever - because the main character, Patrick aka Danilo, managed to steal USD$90M from his own firm and fake his own death - without killing a single soul.
