Hunger Games Trilogy

So I finally finished the Hunger Games Trilogy. It only took me about 2 weeks, including the time it took for Amazon to ship the last 2 books to me. I could barely put them down, I was so engrossed in the story. Now I see why this trilogy has become such a phenomenon!

TV Show Names

This is a really cool look at the process of naming a TV show.

March Birchbox

Another month, another Birchbox! This one had items that they partnered with Teen Vogue to find. My box included:
Essie Luxeffects nail polish (a full sized bottle!!!!)
Kate Spade New York Twirl perfume sample
Kerastase Elixir Ultime hair nourishing oil
Tarte LipSurgence lip tint (another full size!!)
Twistband Hair Tie

WTF...

I don’t know what this even is but I think I like it.

The Artist

I finally saw the winner for the Best Picture for 2012, The Artist! It took a few minutes to get used to the silence, since this is a silent film and all. But it was super easy to follow even with minimal title cards. I haven’t seen many silent films, so I always kind of wondered how they could hold an audience’s attention without dialogue, but it was surprisingly easy to get into the story of The Artist. I didn’t totally love the movie, but I did like it and enjoy it. That it was able to be popular with audiences enough to get nominated and win Best Picture is certainly quite an achievement for a silent film. Actually, it was probably quite an achievement just to get made!

Sweet Valley

You have NO IDEA how excited I am for this!!

Pinterest

I’m obsessed with Pinterest. I could lose hours just scrolling through all the pictures, pinning craft projects I’ll never make, recipes I’ll never try, furniture I’ll never buy, and clothes I can’t afford. But it’s a lot of fun! And I really do get ideas for things I SWEAR I’ll do someday.

Bossypants

I loved Tina Fey’s book, Bossypants. I thought she was awesome on SNL, and I’ve loved the few seasons of 30 Rock that I’ve watched so far. Her self-deprecating brand of humor extends to her autobiography, which details not only her time on those shows, but also her awkward childhood and early career. I really enjoyed reading about how she got her start in comedy, since that’s not a field I know much about but I think is insanely interesting.

The Daly Show

This is basically the cutest thing ever.
