This blog is weird

And I don't mean in terms of content, though it is true that that aspect of it is also a bit weird.
No, I think it's weird because...well, it's because it was/is an English blog originally. Which means that I know the people who could be reading it, even if they probably aren't, and that limits what can be spoken of on here.
But that's not the only reason this blog is weird. Because if it were just people from our school who I knew who were reading this, that'd be one thing. But the site tracker thing informs me that there are people reading this who are not only not from our school, they're from other countries. And that's...surreal would be the only appropriate word.

Anyway, for this week: The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne and Julie and Julia by Julie Powell.
Both were good, and of course Julie and Julia was quite different from the movie. I have to say, in some ways I enjoyed the movie more, though the book definitely came off quite a bit more like real life.

In other news: concerning music, I am looking forward to our band's trip to New Orleans, and all the music I plan on stocking up on right before we leave. I tend to do this every year, usually right before camp; I'll save up around $40 and just buy a ton of music on iTunes. This year I'll probably be getting some Julia Nunes and ALL CAPS. I also usually do this with books too, but this year I think I'll have plenty from my TBR pile.
