Reading

I have a very good friend who is a bit older than I am, and her two daughters are 14 and 12. The 14 year old is a fairly avid reader, as is her mom, and was the one to introduce me to the Twilight books. Now, when I was younger the books I read were mostly fantasy/sci fi, with a little of historical fiction in for good measure, and I thoroughly enjoyed the Twilight series. I mean, it was a bit heavy on the gushy love part but the characters were very well developed and the vampire/werewolf storyline was very enveloping. Anyhoo, being a member of goodreads.com, I have been able to find other fantasy books that I might like, and the daughter of my friend also has made some recommendations that I decided to order at the children’s bookstore that employed me all through college (actually, when I ordered the few books last week they also sent me with some other fantasy titles that they wanted reviewed, which I’m all for). So, I decided to read one of the 14-year-old’s recommendations, Wicked Lovely, which is about Faeries. Now, I’ve never been that into Faeries and had a hard time following this book at places. I mean, it wasn’t impossible, and it’s written for high schoolers so it’s not like it had tons of long annoying words that I had to look up, and it did end up being very entertaining, but it puts me in a funny place: do I read the sequel? I don’t really think I want to, but at the same time I want to know what happens…

Why is it

That some songs are ALWAYS good?

Example: Rocket Man

And I think its gonna be a long long time...

Can you help my friend amber, please!

Hello Everyone,
 
I am currently a graduate student at Fresno State conducting a research project for a class paper and I need to get as many people as I can to complete the survey on the link below.  I have kept it as short as I could collecting a little demographic info and then a few questions to compare for my study.  Your help would be greatly appreciated.  If you know anyone else (spouse, friends, siblings) that would be willing to help me out please feel free to forward it to them as well.

Thank you so much for all your help.  I don't know what I would do without my friends.

Rogue on a Thursday

It's funny what you can learn from old people. Not only are there words that we just don't use any more (dope, foundry (uh, am I spelling that right?)...), but there is history that you can't find in the history books.

Charlie (charlie and the chocolate porno factory) is a guy that gets coffee at Revue in the mornings, that I've come to know just a little. His rogue performance was one I went to tonight and he grew up in fresno. He talked about things like avocado lake (it really is a place) and vietnam, and washington jr high, that are unknown to us semi-olds that have grown up here.

Now, I've always been a bit vain (I know, hard to believe) about my hometown, and the area surrounding the eden that is Fresno, and have been to a lot of the places that make this place great, but I never noticed that fresno isn't just what I've experienced, its a lot more.

I texted my dad (born in Fresno, raised in Chowchilla, then back to fresno again) about avocado lake, which is unknown to me. This was his respose "It's on the Kings River out Belmont to Piedra Road then south a little. People drown there a couple times each summer. It's east of town." Dude, I'd never even heard of it. So, there's one thing I learned.

Another thing: Lsd is still lsd. Strange, yes, but true.

So, I know that a bunch, if not all of you, didn't see Charlie's show, but it was great. And maybe, if were lucky, he will be there again next year.
