Diablo Cody is RED HOT!!!


Diablo Cody is a writer from Minneapolis and i just picked up her book Candy Girl: a year in the life of an unlikely stripper. She's frickin' hilarious! The way she describes Minnesota is so funny and true. "Everyone's favorite supper is a gluey carbohydrate-rich concoction simply known as "hotdish." That's one observation that is purely Minnesota that left me in stitches. I have practically finished the book in two days, literally could not put it down. If you are in the mood for some raunchy, blunt humor, this is the book for you. She has also written a screenplay for a movie that comes out this Christmas called Juno. I've seen previews and it looks really cute and funny. So keep your eyes out for that one. This chick makes me want to a.) write about things and myself exactly as i see them, b.) be a badass chick! and c.)no, not strip... but tap into those parts of myself that i'm scared of but interested in what could be. So, there's my monthly book review. Now that i'm working at Barnes and Noble again, I'll have much more to read and be more up to date on the current prints. Peace out y'all.

One more thing. If you were wondering what "porn-shui" was, it refers the the art of posistioning oneself in one's office or cubicle so that one can surf porn undetected. Usage: "I have great porn-shui; I face the hallway and the desk behind me is vacant."

(experpt from Candy Girl.) enjoy!~

Into the Wild will get into your head....Sonja's movie review.


All i can say, is go see this movie. I read the book, Into the Wild a couple years ago and became obsessed with the story. It's the true story of Christopher McCandless, who set out on the road and lived on the fringe for about 2 years. And his plan was to make it up to alaska and live off the land in the bush. I really admire Chris for living the life that he felt he needed to live. I also think that even though it was so unfortunate that he died young, it almost couldn't have been any other way. When i first heard that there was a movie out, i was appalled. I don't think that every book needs to become a movie, but sean penn really did the whole story justice. the movie was absolutley beautiful! the cinematography was awsome. emile hersh, who plays chris, could not have done a better job. his portrayal was almost errie. please see this movie and call me so we can discuss it.! enjoy....take it in for what it is, and let it penetrate your mind, body and soul.
