I’m long overdue for one of these…

Reading: Last weekend, I finished Meg Cabot’s All American Girl. I continue to adore Meg Cabot. She writes fluff, yes, but she does it really, really well. I laughed out loud many times while reading this book.

I also finished the Sandman series. Overall, I liked it very much. There were some points where I thought the story sagged, where Gaiman wasn’t exactly sure what he was doing or where he was going. I liked the ending, but could have done without most of The Tempest. (not a bad idea, but it was a little boring.)

I started reading Swamp Thing. This isn’t something I would have ever thought about reading, but for Rand, but I’m really enjoying it. Alan Moore does horror really, really well. He knows that I need to connect with the characters and care what happens to them in order for the creepiness to be effective. (This is the same thing I like about Stephen King.)

I haven’t done much other reading in the past couple of weeks, as I’ve been getting into the swing of my classes.

Watching: Well, Heroes and Studio 60 came back this week. Hurrah!

Additionally, I’ve watched season 1 of the UK Office (which, okay, I do like…but I still think I like the US version better), season 1 of Extras (really, really funny), a bit of the first season of MASH (lord, how I hate Trapper John), and probably a whole bunch more that I’m forgetting.

Listening: I listened to the new Weird Al, which I got as a Christmas gift. Pancreas had me laughing out loud. Overall, it’s a little heavy on the hip-hop parodies, but they’re really funny. Hm…I can’t think of any other new things I’ve listened to recently. Tell me something I should be listening to. 🙂
