smoothies. books. weird moods.

sometimes i get in moods where i am antsy and unsettled and can't focus my attention on one thing at a time. this is one of those times. i get nostalgic and think a lot and it's annoying.

i just found a really sweet crafting blog that has really awesome tutorials. there are quite a few that i want to try, and hopefully will maybe this coming weekend.

bachelor is on. i'm drinking a berry smoothie.

i don't want to pack a lunch tomorrow. bleh.

Question: -What is the best book you’ve read lately? Why is it good? Who would you recommend it to? 

I haven't read all of this book, but I started reading The Shallows by Nicholas Carr. It's mostly about how the internet is completely changing the way we think and function. I see that a lot with middle school and high school ages these days. They're used to really face-paced thinking (clicking back and forth between websites) and having everything at their fingertips. Sometimes it's hard to motivate them to really think about a question and dig deeper in analysis.  

It's good because it's really interesting to think about how our bodies can almost physically change due to the environments in which they are brought up. 

Another completely different book that I've liked recently is Crank by Ellen Hopkins. It's about a girl who is addicted to crystal meth and her struggles that go along with it. I like it because it's not written in traditional "book" style, and it really is a page-turner. I read it in a day. 

I want more time to read! And more money to buy books. I like to write in them. I guess I could go with a library card, too... and no writing.
