Temptations



I finished the trilogy just to find out there was a fourth book. Not done yet.  The books were fun. I enjoyed them quite a bit. I'm going to try not to read for a little bit, but Edwin keeps bringing me home more books! He likes to tempt me and feed my addictions...

Tonight I'm off with Emily exploring the terrifying passages of MOA. (Mall of America)  We're going to try and get some headshots there. We'll see if I get kicked out. I'm keeping a tally now of how many places I've been kicked out of for taking pictures. But the mall is a tourist trap, and tourists have cameras, right?  Should be OK.

Saturday Silliness

 

I've manages to put down "The Subtle Knife" long enough to blog.  Quentin came by today bringing treats to ruin my diet and we watched "Death Note."  We were disappointed, it wasn't great, but it was entertaining.  



Quentin put his hat on Pepita (one of the cats) and she just sat there, wobbling slowly like she was drunk. Eventually she started backing up to get it off and then looked at us as if she was saying, "What?"  I was laughing so hard I was crying. Quentin wasn't far behind.

Golden Compass


I started reading the Golden Compass last night. This is yet another banned book in some places. Apparently, if your you are an atheist author and you right a book whose characters are fighting religion, well, your freedom of speech is limited. I'm really tired of this.

I'm an atheist. There, I said it. I'm also a feminist, a liberal (of the bleeding heart variety) pro-choice, pro gay marriage, AND I read banned books. That includes the Bible. I read it cover to cover 3 times. How many Christians can say that?

Maybe now someone will ban my blog and I can get a really good following.
