So, clearly I've been completely remiss when it comes to posting blogs, but as those of you who know me will understand, I've been quite busy at my summer job.
I've finally taken some steps to preserve my mental and physical health by cutting back my hours, but it has been a bumpy ride. It's definitely a bittersweet feeling to be working so much less. I feel bad about the burden I'm putting on my staff by not being there 24/7, but I definitely need to put my own health first.
I've seen lots of movies and read lots of books in the month that I haven't posted to my blog.
I read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and I saw Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. The book, the final installment of the septilogy (is that a word?) was quite satisfying. I would have preferred a more "German" ending, but I think that the way it ended was appropriate for its target audience. The movie, however, of the fifth book, wasn't that good. Having the same kid play Harry at this point is laughable. He's supposed to be 14 years old, but there were some closeups that clearly showed Harry's stubble.
I thoroughly enjoyed Live Free, Or Die Hard. That movie made my summer. I also enjoyed the Transformers.
I was disappointed in The Simpsons Movie, and Stardust. And I CAN'T WAIT to see Superbad.
I've got to get back to work, but I wanted to post something for my "audience." (Hi Bernie.)

I've missed you Danielle. Have you read 'The Kite Runner' and it's sequel 'A Thousand Splendid Suns'? I'm glad you are taking time for yourself and especially time for blogging!!
I haven't read either of those books, although I keep hearing wonderful things about them. I think I shall make them my next book purchase. I think that the Kite Runner is getting made into a movie soon, so I better get reading.
