So L.A sucks. Fall is my favorite season and here.. there is no change in weather!!! I hear all the weather reports for Salt Lake and its like "ugh!" I want rain and pretty leaves here!! So I'm very home sick. I miss my family , my friends and my dogs. I miss driving around in the rain and I miss home. I think I may even miss snow this year.. and We all know how much i dislike snow.
Anyways, now that rant is outta the way.. things are otherwise going OK. This weekend was nice, I just relaxed and cleaned and read a book called The Road... everyone had been telling me to read it and how awesome it is... I found it to be just OK. Every other page was a repeat of the theme and story line, just in a slightly different location. The overall setting dabbles in futuristic America and presents some scary but "could happen" situations, Although the author does not really tell how American got to that point...There were a few short lived exciting parts but they were just that, short lived and far between. I felt the author introduced characters.. not the build the plot but to bring something new to the book for about 3 pages. The thought behind the theme of the book is something human and real and The main character development is written well and is touching. However, I found the writing style not to my liking and felt it was poorly written but well hidden behind the imagery used to describe the world and emotions the characters live through. I would not recommend it unless you're an airplane reader and looking to read something a bit different and new... And even then, I doubt its entertainment value.
ha ha i just realized how essay/book review that last paragraph sounded... goodness, I need to go back to school.. sorry about that. lol anyways, I cleaned my room and did laundry and went to the store.. got spaghetti sauce, bread, butter, milk, cheese and tomato soup. So that should tide me over for a few days. ya grilled cheese and spaghetti. Well work is almost over for the morning..
