random notes

1. my marc train/ yarn project buddy told me today that they are making dark chocolate m&m's (peanut and plain) for star wars. the peanut ones are crazy good. buy a bag and take it to your work to share, it could be dangerous otherwise. it should also be noted that the colors of the actual m&ms are great- black, dark purple, even burgandy!!
2. after finishing back roads last friday, i returned it to the savage library and picked up coal run also by tawni o'dell and also i am charlotte simmons by tom wolfe (giant mammoth of a book). i would recommend back roads, it was well written and from an interesting perspective. there were some surprises, but it wasn't like a mystery book.
3. before i read back roads, i read this. i felt slightly embarrassed when i started it, but what do i really care, it was a fast read and interesting. the parts about his father are amazing/ bizarre/ explain what has created some of his problems, it's terribly depressing at times.
4. also, it should be noted that it's pretty crazy that books like scar tissue, don't try this at home by dave navarro and of course the dirt by motley crue are all available at my library. librarians are notorious for their support of first amendment issues so enjoy it before it's taken away by these turbulant times. (was that too preachy?)
