I know that a large part of the world is used to 90+ degree heat for days on end. New York is not. It's the sixth day of this encroaching heat and I'm just about done with it. I'm also ready to take a flame thrower to the tree next to my window. Cicadas are irritating.

There's a lot of recent news to go over with ya, so if you want to read, read, if not, check out the new features. So!!! Firstly, I won the bidding war regarding the selling of a Canadian Timber Wolf pelt from the wonderful *Zhon. I have it in my possession and I could not be happier with it. It is quite lovely! If you want to learn about how I came into getting it and why I would buy it, go to my last journal entry before this one. I plan on taking pictures of it eventually. For now, I'm content to continually pet it and chase my father's dog with it.

My weekend was chock full of fun! Saturday morning I was able to see The Dark Knight. The more I think about that movie the more I wish to see it again to review my thoughts on it. I fear that the only reason that I particularly enjoyed it was because of Heath Ledger's outstanding performance as the Joker. Sure, the movie itself was phenomenal, but it was truly dragged on by Ledger's refined acting. The Joker is my all-time favorite Batman villain and he captured him BRILLIANTLY! For that reason I'm also a bit more ticked off at him now because they can't ever bring The Joker back into this particular series without making something die in us fans. Plus, I was hoping they would be willing to put in Harley Quinn. Without the Joker, I don't think she would be worth it as an individual villain. Blah. I actually can say I kind of like Iron Man better than The Dark Knight, Mark would argue The Incredible Hulk on his side. I don't like to just love a movie based on one person's acting skills, even if they were stunning. (For all of you who are sniggering at this paragraph, just know I grinned from ear to ear when The Joker first made his appearance with a certain pencil.)

That afternoon we (my boyfriend, Mark, and I) went to our friends block party. Got hammmaaaaahhhhhhed. Loads and loads of fun. For all the curious parties out there: I drank Jack Daniels. I also continually hummed "Jack and Diane" the entire night.

Sunday was recovery day but it didn't stop Mark and myself from going to see Wall*E which was perhaps the cutest Pixar movie ever. Surprisingly, it has a very, very dark message behind the cuteness and I couldn't help but be even more attached to it because of that message. Definitely one of my favorite Pixar movies now.

Still need to see Hancock.

My old English teacher from High School is having a party this weekend to celebrate the fact he got married in something like February. I'm invited. Annnnnd of course I'm going. I know it may sound odd to everybody out there that an old teacher of mine would invite me to something like that, but we're good friends and we have hung out before once I graduated from H.S. and it was deemed socially acceptable all of a sudden.

Lots more to do before the school year starts up again in a month. All well! Thanks for reading, enjoy the features!!

Book Review: "The Story of B" by Daniel Quinn - Please, please, please go buy this book. Just...do it. It's near changed my life and its message needs to be spread to the masses. I love Quinn as a writer and it would help if you also picked up his books "Ishmael" and "My Ishmael" since they are great introductions to this book. However, this book is a lot more realistic, but I must warn you, a little dark in the religious realm of things. No, this books is not based off of religion, it is based off of how we, as a civilization (not just the U.S.) got to this point. Got to the point of near killing ourselves and the planet and all other species on this earth. The message is clear and simple, but I would be more than exalted to know that one of you..two of you..three..four...how many are interested when you read this that you go to your local bookstore (or Amazon) and just pick up the book and start reading. "The world will not be saved by old minds with new programs. If the world is saved, it will be saved by new minds--with no programs."
