Summer Movies

Each summer I look forward to the big summer blockbusters to entertain me during the dry TV season. This year I haven't been interested in many of the movies that have been released. So far this summer I've only seen You Don't Mess With the Zohan. I enjoyed the movie, but it wasn't something I want to add to my collection. However I am looking foward to Mama Mia!
and Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants Sequel. .
I really hope they don't disappoint.

Work Woes

Work for me this week has been very stressful. Based on various factors things have not gone well. Take today for example, I was running around trying to manage five different things without the help of anyone. The end of the day comes and I'm still not finished with my project. What frustrates me most is that everyone around me, knew how much stress I was under and no one offered to help me. Everyone just walked by me and wished me luck as they left at 5 o'clock. I didn't expect people to help, but I wish someone would have offered. It makes me wonder if there's any good people left in the world.

Sappy Romance Novels

Recently I've been reading some old school Nicholas Sparks books. My interest was peaked when I saw a movie trailer for Nights in Rodanthe coming out later this fall. I remembered the book was sitting on my shelf unopened. After I finished the other book I was reading I jumped into this one. It was a quick pool side read that I finished in one afternoon. Since it was such an easy read, I broke the spine on another NS book, the Rescue. I really enjoyed this one because it's about a boy who has learning disabilities. I've recently been thinking about how I can help out with people who have these disabilities. Now I'm on my third NS book, Message in a Bottle. I know, these books have been out for years and I've actually had them for years, but I've never read them. I find that I either love his books or hate them. I loved the Notebook, the Wedding, a Walk to Remember. But I didn't care too much for True Believer and the sequel At first sight. I leave you with a clip from my favorite scene from the Notebook.
