Bad Story Bucket


Today I am posting from two different locations The Willie Morris Library, and Starbucks. I know what you are thinking my dear vast audience of billions, What am I doing blogging somewhere besides Cups coffee shop? Well today I showed just how dedicated i am to the written word and walked two point five miles, that's right 2.5 miles, just to get to my neighborhood library (I wish there were a way to capitalize numbers that looks decidedly unimpressive(does "wish" make this parenthetical statement subjunctive?!)).  So here I am at my awesome library and the first place I visited was THE AUDIO BOOK SECTION WHOOP WHOOP. I plan on ripping Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood by Rebecca Wells onto my computer so i can have it always and fo free! I highly recommend this book and even more the audio book to any one looking for a classic book to read/ listen to. It revolves around 4 women and their relationship through the trials and tribulations of being alcoholic, pill dependent, Catholic, women in Louisiana. It really is a lovely, wholesome, and uplifting read. The movie has Sandra Bullock and James Garner in it as well as the guy who plays Robert the Bruce in Braveheart. So it must be a good book. Q.E.D.
This Library really is great. It used to be the Northside library and was situated between a dollar store and a laundry mat. I would go there when I was home schooled my 5th grade year on Tuesdays because that was when the help came and cleaned the house. It was that year I discovered the large print section. Did you know that they make books with huge print? I didn't, till 5th grade. After that at every opportunity I got all my books in large print. that is how I read The Lord of the Rings, large print, baby. However, the staff soon got tired of being mugged in the parking lot and built themselves a new location closer to my house. Which is where I am now. It is named after the guy who wrote My Dog Skip,William Morris. It is a great book and movie (starring Frankie Muniz, that's right, Agent Cody Banks!). I just got a new card so I am all ready to free my mind and broaden my horizons. I've always wondered what they would do if I stood up and just started screaming my head off. Oh well I will save that for another day. I think I am going to go browse the books. I will write some more when I get to Starbucks.
Well.... I got to Starbucks, but before I could even eat my scone I was whisked away by my brother so I didn't get to blog there. Oh, and the library portion of this text is from tuesday... today as of this moment is friday. A lot has happened since tuesday. Just kidding nothing has really happened at all. Uh-oh its that time again.... HIGH LIGHTS LOW LIGHTS!!!!!! duh duh duh duh BAH BAH BAH!! I will start with the low lights because I don't want to end on a bad note. Lowlights: I have a blister on my thumb from playing guitar, I am slightly sunburnt from laying out at the pool with the kids that I babysit, and I have to wait another year for the next Sherlock season to come out in America (CURSES ON BBC) Highlights of the week: I Learned Failure by Laura Marling, I get paid to watch children, take them to the pool, and watch New Girl. SUPER HIGHLIGHT: I saw the most amazing sunrise over the fields today. I could see the dew rising (not falling) as it was evaporating off the flora. It was amazing and it smelled like roadtrip. I looked at it and had the intense urge to say, "A red sunrise, blood was spilled this night."But, I didn't because I didn't have a dwarf with me. What I wouldn't give for a wild rumpus right now...
