December favorites! (And The Temple of Love.)

Oh...it is that time of the year. My birthday is also this month and I have requested an ice cream cake with bats on it. Hehe. I am finally done with my finals and I came to a realization. I have not read a good book in a while and I am always busy with classes or work. So I decided to take this semester off. This will give me time to get more hours and save up for a beach trip and a summer class I need to take. And I do deserve a good break. College is exhausting!

My love gave me a present early since I planned on taking him to get one of his presents. (Imagine trying to wrap a bean bag...ugh!) Speaking of my lovely Rabbit, we have been together for a year and a half! He is the best thing to happen to me! (Prepare for lovey dovey nonsense.) He is my best friend, he always makes me laugh when I need cheering up,he loves me for me,he gets me interested in movies I would never think of watching, and he makes a delicious cucumber salad.

Silly rabbit! And look he plays the drums! *swoon*






Temple of love love love!





So on to my favorites! I have been listening to a lot of Sisters of Mercy lately. (Temple of Love on repeat basically.) And I discovered the magic of Impress press on nails. I only really get the black ones and they last for almost two weeks. This is a miracle because after one day of painting my nails they are chipped as hell. Ain't nobody got time for that. My early gift was a Stanly Kubrick movie set which included The Shining. I have never really seen the movie fully. Only bits and pieces. And recently I have bought lots of books by Poppy Z. Brite. She is such a good writer and very descriptive. I am currently reading Drawing Blood and so far...AMAZING.

Oh and be expecting a Christmas post and a birthday post!

Merry Winter Solstice!

  1. Happy Solstice and Happy Birthday!!

    I read "The Shining" decades ago... IMO, the book is even scarier than the movie, as it tells you what the characters are thinking, which mostly doesn't come out in the movie. But if you decide to both watch AND read, watch the movie first so you don't get annoyed about the bits they leave out!

    And now I've got "Temple of Love" running through my head, hope you're satisfied! ;-)

  2. Hehe I really need to read that. But for some reason with Stephen King I get disinterested with his books. Doctor Sleep came out which I think is part of The Shining story. I really like his sons work though...Joe Hill. He is also the spiting image of his dad.

    1. Probably his writing style, then... he IS rather wordy, and some people just can't deal with that because of their reading style. I've had a couple of books that I tried to read three separate times, but just could not get into them, and it wasn't that they weren't good or interesting, it was just that their writing style and my reading style didn't mesh.

      I didn't know King's son was a writer, too, thanks for the tip! I will have to take a look at his books. :-)
