So I've been known to drag things out...

When I was about 6 or 7, I vividly remember watching the videotape of my 5th birthday party over and over again for at least a week. (Remember home movies? My father God rest his soul, was the one in charge of filming all of the corny stuff. He had this Sony camcorder that was larger than life and heavier than a boulder.)

Way after the Harry Potter craze, I decided to purchase one of the books on a lunch break (I worked across the street from the mall). Well, I hadn't even finished the book, but I promptly ran back to the bookstore once my shift ended to buy the next three books in the series.

A month ago, I was insistent on buying Napoleon Dynamite, which I proceeded to watch every night after coming in from work, as well as the stupid ass dance scene every morning BEFORE going to work, you know, the scene with Jamiroquai's "Canned Heat" playing? THEN I was watching Superbad religiously. Maybe it was those goofy ass cops, but those silly movies are addictive.

Anyway, my latest craze is "Twilight". As you all know, you can find "pre-released" films (notice the euphemism) in NY, it's not mine though, I swear. But DAMNED if I'm not hooked like a fish on a juicy worm at the end of a hook.

I've been watching this over...and over...and over! I wish it would come out on DVD already. We recently took a roadtrip and I was insistent on finding the first book to take with me. Which I did, at the GHETTO @$$ library in town as they call it round these parts. Damn dilapidated library. Damn weirdo that kept looking at me and moving so surreptitiously as he thought. But I GOT MY BOOK dammit. Let me say, the book is 10000000000 times better than the movie (they usually are) but you know I had to run out to find the rest of them right? Well, the last book I need to get. I finished the 2nd book "New Moon" in two days and I'm onto "Eclipse" now. I wish people would leave me ALONE at work while I'm trying to read!

"Wow, you're really into that book!"

NO shit Sherlock, so how about you leave me in peace??

I wish I could loaf around all day, reading my books in the solitude of my room, but such is life. So for now I'll just finish this blog and continue on with my reading.
