fundamentals

Time has slowed this week. It's been good for me. Incredibly frustrating, but beneficial.

I've lost quite a bit of weight since moving out of the apartment. Of course, other factors went into it besides living in the apartment... but being out of there has helped me so much.

Does anyone want to go to Thailand and/or Hong Kong with me? Maybe Singapore. I'm deadly serious about this silliness. I want to be in Asia. Let's find cheap tickets and go for a week, or two, or forever.

Okay, now for some business...
Rhianna's Summer Reading 2009:

-Sometimes a Great Notion by Kesey

-something by Murakami and Bolano at Cecilia's suggestion!

... some of these I have read bits and pieces of, or have started but not finished due to school demands (or cheesy YA fiction that is so easy to read and lovely).

Let me know what you think about my list. Add or subtract. Whatever. I'm so excited for a summer of reading. I hope you are, too!
