11 things

1. Someone told me I should start writing down all the books I read. This suggestion was followed by another to read a book a week. Both are good ideas but doubtful I'll follow through.
2. Going to see my first professional hockey game next week. Can't afford the NHL so the AHL will have to do.
3. I'm helping someone at work start a young adult book club at the store. First book? This year's Newbery Medal winner When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead. I'm really excited to read it.
4. Video games are addictive . Whether Angry Birds or Fallout 3, they suck you in for hours and hours of unproductive fun.
5. My night school classes are already paying for themselves.
6. The more I listen to the Florence + the Machine record, the more I like it.
7. Gave my Valentine all her gifts before hand because flowers and truffles hold last long.
8. I should update the design of the blog. I'll get around to it one of these days.
9. The Grammys suck. Started by people who didn't like rock n' roll. Just look back at the history of who wins. The Grammy voters seem to hate good music.
10. I've So much been reading lots of articles about the Huffington Post / AOL merger. Don't know if really affects me and my news consumption because I rarely read the Huffington Post.
11. Finally, what can be said about Eygpt that hasn't already been said. It's unbelievable and probably the greatest democratic event in the last five years. Let's see if it can be sustained. I have faith.
