So glad this is a three day weekend...

Three day weekends are wonderful things, especially when you can just chill and relax which is exactly what I've been doing during this one. Sometimes a little rest and relaxation is the best you can hope for and your best gift to yourself. I've definitely hit one of those times.

Friday night I watched an old Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster movie, Run Silent, Run Deep. I'd never heard of it, but it was pretty good. Gable's a sub commander during World War II chasing down the Japanese ship that sunk his first sub, and Lancaster is the young, captain waiting in the wings. It was a good movie, and both men were not too bad to look at.

Saturday I decided to go to the library. I hadn't been there in forever, but I decided to renew my card (and save some money since I'll be more selective about my book purchases for now). I picked up a few books for the long weekend - Crank, The Girl Who Chased the Moon, Last Night at Chateau Marmont, and The Radleys. And remember, I'm still looking for good book recommendations.

I finished reading Dead in the Family today, and I loved it. The last few Sookie Stackhouse books had been kind of 'bleh' to me, but this book was really good. I know I'll be going to Target this week to buy the Season 3 True Blood DVDs. Target is going to have special edition covers for the Season 3 DVDs so you get to pick up a cover with your favorite character or the whole cast. I'll definitely be going for the Bill cover.

Oh, well. Back to reading for me. Next on my reading list is Ellen Hopkins' Crank. I'm already 250 pages in, and I'm hooked. I should have picked up one of her books sooner.
