can you believe it?

Who cares about Paris Hilton or Immigration bills not being passed when there's this news!



Spice Girls Reunion Tour!

You can register to be in the pool to get tickets here. The closest they're playing to me is NYC, but I still registered, I mean it's the Spice Girls! Not like I'd be chosen anyhow!

my super sweet sixteen

My polisci professor showed us this in class this past week.



The sad thing is that this is so true. My Super Sweet Sixteen is ridiculously addictive. I am watching one right now and this girl has an awful lisp/accent and she totally has like one fat friend who isn't allowed to talk much, it's funny and she's totally mean to her. [It's like really sad because I would totally be the fat friend, so I guess I should feel sorry for the chubby girl, but I don't.] Yet, I just can't make myself change the channel. It's not like there's anything else I could be doing... That girl got a Lexus for her 15th birthday (this episode is actually the girl's 15th birthday). What does a 15 year old need a Lexus for? It's not even the car she wanted--she wanted it on the day of her party. This show cracks me up. Her party's ruined now.

I always enjoy the car scenes because it's never the car the kid wanted. It's hilarious. Those poor kids (eyeroll). Ew, this girl really should adjust her tiara, she looks stupid.

Okay, that's my spiel about My Super Sweet Sixteen. Hey, if it's good enough for Anderson Cooper to watch, then it is good enough for me. Besides, nothing says entertainment than teenagers throwing tantrums over not getting the right car and spending all of Daddy's money. Like, I just don't get it. Why do we watch this crap? And even worse, why did I just go "Oh no you didn't" when my cable decided to have an emergency testing moment? LAME.

I really need to find something else to watch...

secret society girl



Last month while in Barnes & Noble I had seen a book called Secret Society Girl, the cover was very prep and it was subtitled as "An Ivy League Novel". I promptly swooned and wished I had the ten dollars to buy it. Next pay day, I bought it and was most pleased with the book!

Secret Society Girl is about a college junior named Amy who is invited to be one of the first female members of a secret society called the Rose & Grave. Amy attends Eli University (fictionalized Yale) and Rose & Grave is very reminiscent of Skull & Bones. I love secret societies! The book is an easy read and very cute. The book details Amy's acceptance into Rose & Grave and also some drama with her previous life and her future life as a "Digger" (member of Rose & Grave). Diana Peterfreund filled the book with lots of pop culture references which is always a great source of amusement!

If you're ever looking for a quick cute read and happen to like secret societies like I do, I would most definitely recommend this book--it's very tops. The next installment, Under the Rose, comes out on June 26th and I can't wait! I really look forward to where Amy's life is going to go.
