Books

Have any of you guys (other then Mars) played Words With Friends? Cause I AM ADDICTED! Strangely though, cause I'm not one for Scrabble. Spelling was never my thing... As of now I'm playing with a bunhc of strangers and Mars.

Anyway, in other news.

Like Sari I'e been reading the Hunger Games, though it's no coincidence. Sari, Mars and I decided to read it together. Though I read it a lot faster since I have a lot of spare time on my hands. But, OH-MY-GOD is it good. Like you actually get hooked within the first two chapters and seriously can not stop. Well you can, but you really have to force your self. And dude, things are so messed up! I honestly could've read that book in 3 days, which is abnormal for me since I'm a slow reader. Anywho I'm waiting to get the second one since at Hanukah I usually get a plenty of gift cards, some Indigo. So in the mean time I wanted to read something else, equally as good, but not as intense. Like I actually had to take a deep breath at the end of one chapter. Its like Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows good, you know? Like how each page you don't know if someone might die? Ach so good! Anyway since I'll be in chemoville tomorrow (Yeah! Actual last one!!! Not as excited this time round, cause I already went through those emotions and I don't want to disappoint myself again... but my doctor did promise last one.) I wanted to read something on my iPad because I don't need both hands to hold it up and turn pages (my iv usually ends up in my right hand area, aka dominant hand,) also since I plan on going to Montreal soon it'll mean only one thing to pack! Which really applies to both MTL and chemo. Since my sessions are all day long I bring a bag with food, water, ipad, the blanket that my late grand-mother knit, the occasional book/magazine. Not to mention my purse and coat... I probably should put my wallet and stuff inside the purse in the bag... Anyway its alot, and by the end of chemo I'm too weak to carry the bag so my mom usually takes it, oh yeah my mom has her own bag and stuff. Soo back to my rambiling point. I wanted to read a book on my iPad, and I enjoy reading off iBooks more then the Kobo app cause its easier, more appealing to look at, I have iTunes money vs. paying with visa, and more its authentic. But whats annoying is that iBooks doesn't have a whole lot of selection, though it is gaining. Proof? The Something Borrowed series wasn't available in iBook when I got it, but it is now! And it's a series I've wanted to read for a while so we shall see how it goes! Also I like reading series and I like looking at series, especially ones as plainly, simply and colourfuly designed as the Something Borrowed series. As of now, 3 pages in.

Sari I found it real interesting that you also decide on things to do during the break. And also get very little done of that. I too have certain things I only do during my breaks. I play Sims (though I need to redownload it), read, write something, and something(s) crafty. This year I want to play Sims (easy to accomplish), read a few books Hunger Games was one of them and we shall see where I go from there. I have a few ideas for books and plays... and finally there are two crafty things I want to do. Well three, but the third takes a lot of though. Finish my never ending Harry Potter scarf, its gotten heavy and knitting takes a lot of effort! Do a cool tie-die effect shirt, and, design another shirt for my website. I actually had an idea today, but like I said that takes a lot of thought. Question, are Sari and I the only ones who do this? Plan things to do over breaks?

So... I think that's long enough. I'm off to watch the X FACTOR! Go Melanie! And boooo Nicole. While sticking on my Dad's lables for his holiday card.

1 WEEK TILL HANUKKAH!
