Amazon released a "Kindle for iPhone" application and so nowwww I have Kindle books on my phone, yayyyy. Right in time for my vacation (which is a road trip to the Grand Canyon, and other places of interest along the way, and which will involve a lot of sitting around in the car needing something to do).

For some reason (curiosity?) I watched the first several episodes of The Secret Life of the American Teenager. God this show is crappy. I think the best summary I can think of is that the one-minute "previously on" things can completely and entirely accurately sum up the previous episodes without leaving anything important out. Never a very good sign. And I don't know if the characterization becomes more complex later, but right now the demonization and punishment of the sexually active unmarried females on the show is just... ick. The only truly likeable character is the guidance counselor. I'm going to watch a few more episodes, partially because I want to see if it improves and partially out of a fascination with the trashiness, but I don't have high hopes.

Also at the bookstore I got The Dark Knight and Prince Caspian on DVD, and then one of those Garth Nix books with the pretty covers. I was excited about this.

and ughhh I get pre-trip anxiety so badly. I've been so anxious about going on vacation that I have barely been able to eat or sleep for the past few days.

Watchmen - C+. They could have had an excellent action movie if they cut out most of the talking. Could have had an artsier flick if they stopped being so obvious. Also, needs more JDM.

Sometimes I wonder if I should post about tv shows the same way I post movie reviews. Then I realize that for the shows I really like, my rating would always be A+++++++ and the comments would be *INCOHERENT FLAILING OMG*. Like BSG last night. *flail flail flail* GALACTICAAAAAAAAA.

ughhhh I am really just posting because I am having the usual vacation freakout. Am mostly packed but I don't want to go anywhere. :-/
