I think that I will be changing my blog title to
"My favorite thing is to go where I've never been"
a quote by Diane Arbus.
Yah - I LIKE it!

Back To School Playlist
No, I didn't go back to schol this year (I don't really want to), nor do I have children that went back to school. Rather, it is just that time of year. As Tom Hanks' character said to Meg Ryan's character in You've Got Mail, "Don't you love New York in the fall? It makes me wanna buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils"; my bouquet of sharpened pencils for you is this 2008 Back to School Playlist.

Stephenie Meyers' Twlight Series Playlists
One reason I love Stpehenie Meyer so much is that she is just like me in respect to music; not so much our tastes are the same, but the way we both have soundtracks or playlists that go along with our lives, or in her case, her fictional characters lives. I am forever making playlists - current ones and past ones - that correspond to the big and small things that have happened in my life. And I can truly tell you where I was or what I was doing or what emotion I was feeling when I hear a song. So, I love that Stephenie does this, too. And I love Bella. And I love Edward. And I love Jacob. And now they all have their songs to go along with their characters and what happens to them in the books. The bits in parentheses are from the authors at TwilightersAnonymous.com.

New Season of TV
Thank you CW for rescuing me from the summer TV doldrums! At last, new TV! It started with Gossip Girl on Monday, follwed by 90210 on Tuesday, then America's Next Top Model on Wednesday. On Thursday, I watched the parts I'd missed of 90210.
The verdict?
Well, actaully, I enjoyed them all!
Gossip Girl - just like chocolate, I can't get enough!
90210 - I think I may love this more than the original. No, really. I really, really like it. Can't wait for next week. (except, are those girls like super-duper extra skinny or what??)
ANTM - early favorites are Marjorie, McKey and Elina. I was SOOO happy to see ShRaun go home - ewwwwww. And I hate Clark and Sheena already.
I'm looking forward to the new vampire show on HBO - True Blood, Desperate Housewives and The Amazing Race. I should probably stop with those, otherwise I WILL spend all my time in front of the TV all winter long!
