VEGAS!!! & SUPER AWESOME SURPRISE!!!

Hey Everyone!!

So my 21st birthday is this Monday!!  And what am I doing for, said 21st, birthday??

Well none other than...
 

I am leaving tomorrow morning, and staying four days, three nights!  I'll be coming back on Tuesday.  So what does that mean?  Well, it means that this weekend there will be no posts, and no Music Tuesday on Tuesday.  However, there will hopefully be some great reviews going up when I come back, because, after all, I've got 6 hours there and back to kill, on the drive!

Just one more picture...

I'll be staying in...
4 Queens, which is right in THE MIDDLE of Fremont St. (the original Vegas!!!).  How awesome is that??!! I am super excited!
It's my first real vacation in two years! 

NOW TO THE SURPRISE!! 

My super awesome blogging friend, Liz, over at Books I Think You Should Read & Yes/No Films
shared something SUPER AWESOME WITH ME!!! I've actually been waiting for this all week, since I first heard about it on Meg's website...

This is what I leave you with for this weekend...
So please watch this HILARIOUS trailer/music video of Heather Wells, featuring her ex-fiance Jordan Cartwright!!


Happy Weekend! And wish me luck!!

    Hey, thanks for the shoutout!

    Have fun in Vegas too - I usually stay on the Strip but downtown is fun too. I've now stayed at TI (Treasure Island; first year there), Paris, Bally's, and Wynn - my last time was '09 and we stayed at the Wynn for my senior college spring break and were very spoiled. lol. We got a great deal on Expedia w/ that + airfare.

      The Strip definitely has the most gorgeous hotels! But 4 Queens is one of the original which I'm excited about! And fremont is pretty much where everything happens! On the strip it's all inside the hotels. But still absolutely gorgeous, just a bit too pricey to stay there lol. I really want to stay in the Venetian or Cosmopolitan one day though!! :)

    Enjoy! I spent my own 21st at home with my friends from high school and university pouring out of our small living room into the hall. :) Are you going on the machines or just going to see a show?

      Unfortunately I can't really afford any of the shows. But I plan on playing a little, and then doing some shopping at the Vegas outlets! :) And enjoying the air conditioning of the beautiful hotels! :)

Marriage Vacation by Pauline Turner Brooks (aka Jo Piazza)

Image
Hey Everyone! I finished another book!  I bought this one along with Shrill , when I found an Amazon Books store in NYC last week! I cannot believe I already finished both in less than a week, when I hadn't finished a single book since last July! From Goodreads : In season four of Darren Star's hit TV Land series Younger , the editors of Empirical Press are shocked and deeply moved when they read Marriage Vacation , an autobiographical novel by the publisher's estranged wife, Pauline Turner Brooks.  Knowing the book will cause a sensation, they decide they must publish it.  Now you can read what the hype is about. To find herself...she might lose everything. By all appearances, Kate Carmichael had the perfect life: two adorable daughters, a pre-war town house on the Upper East Side, and a husband who ran one of the most successful publishing companies in New York.  But when Kate attends the wedding of two of her oldest friends, and reconnect...

The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick

I saw the movie Hugo (directed by Martin Scorsese) right before the New Year.  Let me back track, and let you know that usually I am NOT a fan of Oscar movies.  If I'm being honest, I find them to be boring.  However, this year has seemed to bring quite a few more exceptions than normal.  Among those are: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 , The Help , and Hugo.   I fell in love with Hugo .  I thought it so beautifully done.  The music, the characters, the story.  I found myself crying even at points that wouldn't necessarily make you cry.  I honestly, didn't know the movie was based on a book; but when I found out at the end, I knew I had to read it. The winner of the Children's Caldecott Award, The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick is nothing like anything I've ever read.  Normally, when I read I imagine the story that I am reading  unfolding in my head like a movie; but with The Invention of Hugo ...

The Hunger Games Should be BANNED!!

Image
Okay, let me begin by saying, you may find my title misleading...but guess what? It got you to read this post! :) PLEASE CONTINUE READING!! I really think something needs to be known!  The Hunger Games should NOT be allowed in elementary schools!!  In fact, I don't even think it should be allowed in middle school either! This is the whole point to this post! I read the series last year, and enjoyed them.  I thought the story was definitely very original.  I am going to be making a few lists in this post, and here is my first... Pros about The Hunger Games : -original story -great characters -details were great...sometimes a bit too much actually -metaphorically speaking, the message I got out of this book is people are selfish and that they would do anything to survive, and while this isn't a great message, I think it is true about people (at least quite a bit around the world...NOT all!! but quite a few) Cons about The Hunger Games : -I think my #1 c...
