Happy Birthday Mia! I was thinking it was June 7, but I think I keep thinking that because that's when we first saw her. She's growing up so fast! The outfit is adorable. I say we all start dressing as fairy princesses, I mean why the fuck not? Hmm, maybe because fairy princesses don't talk that way.
Lisa, your daughter is GORGEOUS! What a cutie pie! This is my first time on your blog since we met @ the writer's group, but I promise to look on it more (and I oughta send you stuff I wrote at fifteen/sixteen-oh my God where's the paper shredder??). Have a great day! :)
I had to laugh about the Chuck Taylor high tops comment. Remember when combat boots were all the rage with Madonnaesque bustiers and chiffon skirts? She's got the knack, I tell ya!
Edward Ugel: Money For Nothing Subtitled, One Man's Journey Through The Dark Side Of Lottery Millions. (****)
Susan Braudy: This Crazy Thing Called Love The true story behind the Billy Woodward shooting, the case on which Dominick Dunne based his novel, The Two Mrs. Grenvilles. (*****)
Matt Birbeck: A Beautiful Child True story about the mysterious life and death of a young woman who's real identity still remains unclear. Excellent read. (****)
Richard Yates: Revolutionary Road A novel about the alienation arising from living in the "perfect" suburbs. Hailed as a great literary book. I thought it was okay, at best. (**)
Annie Proulx: Close Range, Wyoming Stories A collection of lyrical short stories from Annie Proulx that contains Brokeback Mountain among other gems. (****)
John Grisham: The Innocent Man I can only quote from the jacket blurb: "If you believe that in America you are innocent until proven guilty, this book will shock you. If you believe in the death penalty, this book will disturb you. If you believe the criminal justice system is fair, this book will infuriate you."
A must read. (*****)
Nancy Caldwell Sorel: The Women Who Wrote The War Fascinating look at women journalists at the front during WWII. (****)
Jack Olsen: Charmer Riveting true crime by a master. (****)
Ann Rule: Too Late To Say Good Bye Excellent telling of the Bart Corbin cases. (****)
Michael Crichton: Airframe Ehhh. Better than the back of a cereal box, I guess. (**)
"The Princess Fairy Bride Diva" that is...
