Yes, I'm still alive and well

Have you missed me? I can't believe my last post was in MARCH. It's like I finished my 23 things and just disappeared, eh? Truthfully, I didn't abandon USING the cool toys I picked up in 23 Things - I just haven't blogged about it. AND I've been reading. Actually READING. Those of you that know me well know that I'm always whining about how little time I have to read. Well, let me tell you. I've been working on that...I just finished Eaters of the Dead by my boy Michael Crichton. It was enlightening and disturbing at the same time. I read it in a day and find it so interesting that it all started on an argument that Beowulf could be interesting if the story was told in an interesting way. I agree. Something else I learned is that the Antonio Banderas movie The 13th Warrior was based on Crichton's Eaters of the Dead. Now I have to go rent it..TTFN

Hey there, Renae! It is me, Laura K...

Thanks for stopping by my blog (foolingwithwords) and leaving a message. Yeah, I'm definitely not a video person, but after a day and a half have figured out how to embed a youtube video into my blog. It is still in its draft form though. I'll worry about that tomorrow, ala Scarlet O'Hara.

Ok - what else are you reading? I have been carrying Wicked around for the last few weeks, but I am just not into it. I finished Liars' Club and Bastard Out of Carolina earlier and enjoyed both, despite their darkness.

Got any suggestions? If not, I will have to resort to Crime and Punishment - the seniors' summer reading novel - eek!
