But I feel like I don't really have anything interesting to write about. I'm steadily getting through my reading, working every day, and searching for another job. The apartment is good, my roommates are excellent, and for the most part, all of my friends and family are doing well and are happy.
A lack of drama certainly makes for boring/nonexistent posts!
I know, I know, I should be happy that things are going well. And don't get me wrong, I am. But I feel like I've hit a wall as far as posting things goes.
I just read The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, by Steig Larsson. I had heard a lot about it, and I always feel silly when I haven't read the books that seem to be in the forefront of a lot of conversations. So I picked it up on sale at Target last weekend, and finished it last night.
It was pretty good. It made for easy, interesting reading (once I got all the Swedish names straight), and I certainly was entertained. Is it the next great novel? No. But I understand why it's become so popular. I think it's in the same thread as The Da Vinci Code, in that it's a fast-paced mystery with two interesting protagonists and a satisfying conclusion. I've read better mystery novels that have far less mass approval, but hey, I'd rather people read this than Twilight.
Speaking of those sparkly (is there a proper way to spell that word? AP Stylebook?) vampires, the next movie in the "saga" is coming out soon. I've read all the books, and seen both movies that have come out so far (illegally online, of course). I don't know why, since it goes against all of my better judgement, but for some reason I can't stop myself. I think I mostly just like to enjoy the "so bad it's good" phenomenon.
Also, today, I painted my room! This is something I've been wanting to do ever since I moved in (as of today, I've been sleeping here for a month) and since I got my tax refund a few days ago, I decided it was time. I worked pretty much nonstop for about six hours today, but it was SO worth it. The room looks great!
