I'll be honest in saying that when nothing exciting in my life is happening, I have a tendency to withdraw from my blog, seeing as it's been awhile between my last post and this one. But, it doesn't mean I'm going to ever stop completely, because I love it too much and there are so many articles and subjects to talk about!
First on the subject list: "New Girl." Zooey Deschanel is starring in an upcoming show this fall on Fox and even though we don't get cable here, I am SO excited about it. I have loved Deschanel ever since I bought (500) Days of Summer discounted from the Hollywood Video store that was closing down. I will always see her as Summer no matter what role she plays.
She plays newly single and heartbroken Jess, who moves in with a bunch of bachelor guys soon afterward. She is cute and dorky, something all us girls can relate to. Not only does the trailer make me interested (just go here, the website I go to for my movie/TV show news drip feed) , but I just read today that Justin Long will be playing a love interest in a three episode arc! How exciting is that?! Two of my favorite people in one show! Who honestly does not love Justin Long? He's awesome.
I've been reading like a crazy person lately, devouring four or five books in a couple of weeks. It started out with Promises to Keep by Jane Green that was an incredibly heartbreaking story of two sisters, but in that really good way where you cry your heart out and as you turn that last page, you can't believe what just happened. It was personal and realistic and so so good.
I then got roped into two Marian Keyes novels. Keyes is quite possibly my favorite author (at this time anyway) and I love the way her stories start out seeming like your ordinary chick lit fluff, but then delve into emotional hardships and suddenly real scenarios, many of which stem from her own personal life. I think Keyes is really quite inspirational.
On a completely unrelated note, everyone has to go check out the Google homepage right now, meaning July 6th (which for me happens to still be July 5th, but we West Coasters are special in that way). It's the coolest Doodle ever featuring Freddie Mercury! They've really been upping their creativity when it comes to their doodles lately and I am very impressed.
It's big news (well, when it happened) here in the Silicon Valley with the sudden resignation of Steve Jobs. It was sad and his face graced the front page of every newspaper. You could feel the shock waves everywhere, even the Peets coffee shop I happened to be in the day after it happened. As an avid lover and user of all things Apple, I know I'm one in a million of people who saw Jobs as a revered and inspirational businessman as well as an innovative genius.
My favorite quote that really stuck with me was one featured in an article titled "Steve Jobs resigns as Apple CEO, stunning tech world." in The San Jose Mercury News.
"He always wanted to get technology out of the way for people to get answers in their lives, " said Jobs erstwhile partner and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. "I could never do it as well, but I always wanted to. He wasn't one day ahead of everyone else, he was 10 years ahead of everyone else."
And now there is this whole fiasco with the iPhone 5 being lost in yet another bar, this time in San Francisco, which is just making me confused and skeptic. It's shady and unclear and I don't think I'll comprehend it until the final story is uncovered.
I know this post has been random, yet I bring the promise of exciting things in the future. It will happen. You can count on it!
Until next time,
Sarah :)
