I’m going to ramble a bit… brace yourselves. I’ve been reading through my personal library a lot lately. I do that. I’m a huge collector of books, I have shelves and shelves of paperbacks. Several hundreds of them at least. Mostly science fiction and fantasy. I like to read new stuff but occasionally nothing catches my interest and at those times I turn to my old favorites and devour them all over again. I can read the same book over and over, it doesn’t bother me. I find something new to like about it every time.

For those interested, my latest review has now been published. You can see what I thought of Superman Returns at Hollywood Jesus.

Ahhh… the new Stephanie Plum novel by Janet Evanovich is out in paperback finally. I always wait for the paperback because I find them easier to read (not to mention cheaper). This one is “Eleven on Top” and of course, continues the misadventures of Stephanie as a bounter hunter. This is one of my favorite series I have to admit. A great blend of action and humor. Well worth checking out if you enjoy a good detective thriller… of a sort anyway.

This blogger could use a little traffic… give him a visit! Extra credit if you can figure out who it is.

That pretty much summarizes my current state of mind… Blah! I am lacking motivation to do… well, just about anything. No good reason for it either. Ah well, I have a grab-bag of mini topics I’ve been meaning to catch up on.

I knew I liked Alton Brown, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on the defining reason that made me enjoy watching his shows so much. Now I know… he rides! According to this NY Times article he has a BMW R1200 RT and unfortunately he crashed during his latest project and broke his collarbone. Ouch!

He was working on a mini-series for the Food Network that debuts next month called Feasting on Asphalt… “In a quest to find good eats across the country, Alton Brown embarks on a transient mission to find tasty edibles on the go in a 4-part series about the history of road food (premieres Sat, July 29 at 9 PM ET/PT on Food Network).” And oh yeah, he did it on a bike… up until the accident at least.

I’ll definately be setting the DVR to catch this new show!

Lori is setting up a CD exchange over at Downtown Chick Chat… if that sounds like something you’d be interested in, go visit the girl and get signed up!

Leesa pointed this out… a visual representation of my blog! You can get one here.

Holy cow, I could get into this kind of “dancing!”
