MonsterI’m, right now, watching the film “Monster” for the first time. (One of the things that is nice about working at a public library is the DVD checkout, hee hee!). I can’t friggen believe this is Charlize Theron playing the lead role! She is amazing in this movie! Totally deserved the academy award for best actress. And I’ve only watched about 23 minutes of the film so far.

I took a break from watching it because I had the urge to download Journey’s “Don’t stop believin” after they played it in the roller skating rink scene. dude. That song brings back soooo many high school memories.

The Amber Spyglass (His Dark Materials, Book 3)I just finished “The Amber Spyglass” today during my lunch break. sigh. I love the “His Dark Materials” trilogy and am sorry that I’m finished reading it. Listening to it was such a wonderful experience. It was narrated by Pullman himself, with help from a huge cast of characters. I highly recommeded the audiobook. I downloaded mine from Audible.com.
