Busy, Busy, Busy
Despite being very busy, I've managed to both watch Mona Lisa Smile on TV tonight and finish The Book of Joe by Jonathan Tropper.
Now, I've seen Mona Lisa Smile, but when I saw it coming on I got sucked in--not because I didn't know what was coming, but because it was like stepping inside so many of my mental images of the Gallagher Academy. Plus, I firmly believe that movie will be to actresses of that generation what The Outsiders was to actors of the eighties.
And what can I say about The Book of Joe except that it's the first book I've picked up in a long, long time that I didn't want to put down. Enough said. If you don't mind a little mature content and love a well-turned phrase then check it out.
Okay, the girls beckon. They're telling me the first chapter is boring and darn it if I don't think they're right!

It's nice to know other people's characters can be as bossy as mine. :)
The first chapter isn't boring! (Okay, so maybe a LITTLE. But only a little!) Maybe it was tttthhhheeeeennnnnnn, but it's not (aaaassssss) boring now!
