I like cheesy action movies with you..

Oh, to be with the one person you love is such a joy. I felt awful today and all I needed was to see my boyfriend and be in his arms again. Eddie and I enjoyed each others company while talking about our day and watching 'The Last Stand' together. It's a cheesy action film that I probably would've never seen on my own time. But, you make sacrifices for the one you love (only kidding).  The movie was cheesy and typical but I actually wanted to know what was going to happen in the end.. so, I guess you could say I was slightly interested in the film. My boyfriend loved it, of course. After a nice evening with him I came home and watched 'The Words' because it was on HBO. It had just started so I figured why not sit down and watch it. It exceeded my expectations, I didn't think I was going to like it at all. The story of an old man's stolen words and a young man's success who found them. It immediately caught my interest and I'm glad I watched the film.

As of right now, I'm just listening to records while I sit and write in bed. I'm going to try and get some homework done in a bit. I am far more interested in reading my book though. I am still reading 'This Side of Paradise' and I plan on finishing it this week. The story of the lost generation seems to relate to me in many ways. Anyways, I just discovered my syllabus from my favorite literature class while attending UT Austin and I really want to re-read them all soon. I hope you all had a great day. I'm going to get some reading done.

Love,
Deb

Great week so far...

This week has been pretty fun and it's almost the weekend. I caught up with all my work for school (I go to school online) which means a lot of free time. I am able to spend more time with Ferdinand which I know he loves. I've also spent a lot of time with my boyfriend (Eddie) which is always the best. We went out on a Tuesday to Roosevelt's at 7 to avoid crowds and just relax and drink. It was quite lovely. This week I ordered Ernest Hemingway's - The Short Stories and I've already read the first story which exceeded my expectations but I still have forty more stories to go. I also started my book for the month with Eddie and we decided on 'This Side of Paradise' by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Last month was 'The Old Man and The Sea' by Ernest Hemingway which is an easy read that I would suggest to almost anyone. I'm also reading 'The Doors of Perception' by Aldous Huxley which is interesting but also really philosophical. I'm only about halfway through but I'll let you know if it's worth reading. Other than that I've been keeping up with my workout program and I've really seen a difference in my body which is awesome. It keeps me motivated to keep on going. Although, the valley heat is back and it's more unbearable than ever. I've started running five days a week and it's hard to keep up with this awful dry heat. That's pretty much all I've done this week and tonight 'Parks and Recreation' returns with a new episode and so does 'Portlandia' so I'll be glued to my television watching my favorite shows. I hope you all have had a great week so far.. I know I have.
