Let's be honest, very few people actually keep their new year's resolutions past January. Thus, allow me to gloss over that subject. Rather, it's time for a few reviews.

 

I just finished reading, The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein. No, it's by no means the more intriguing genre I find myself inclined to. Yet, it was a pleasant, well rounded read...perfect for vacation. The plot was well thought out, characters were thoroughly developed, and the humor kept me turning pages. Who knew a dog's perspective on life could be so entertaining? Though the middle dragged four or five pages too long, it nonetheless turned out to be a pleasant read. I wish I had more time for these types of novels.

Typically, iTunes giftcards leave me indecisive and buying songs from here and there. Rarely do I find an entire albub to my liking, but in this case, Brett Dennen was the exception. His style seems to be a mix between Jack Johnson, Matt Wertz, and Jeff Buckley. Is that is even a possible combination? Anywho, his lyrics are simple and cheery, but catchy enough to keep your ears perked.


"And I've been waiting all this life
in the company of one
and I know I am young
but I don't want to be alone
if you could only just
consider the two of us"
Desert Sunrise


CHEERS.
