Aching

So I'm listening to Sweethearts by Sara Zarr. I love it because it makes my stomach hurt. I think Zarr captured the voice of teenagers. It makes my stomach ache thinking about these poor (fictional) kids. There are people in worse situations but life still hurts. It's one of those books that make me hesitate when I go to shut off the car. My only complaint thus far is that it's read by the author... While I like the idea of the writer giving the book a voice, Zarr hesitates at the end of each sentence, making it choppy at times and all her voices sound the same. Maybe I'm just a spoiled listener :o)

TV shows have also taken over again! CSI is in full swing, so we're just waiting for Grissom to leave *tear*. Law and Order SVU is as awesome as ever, and the repeats (and repeats of L&O) are always there to fill my boredom voids. True Blood is my new love! Californication and Entourage are back in their awesomeness. My dear Dexter has returned! My only sadness is that the stories are so plot-heavy, we don't see as much of serial killer Dexter as I'd like. Oh well; such is life. So yes, TV keeps me busy!
