Eat Pray Love

Current Mood: Excited and Scared

So when I was in LA at the beginning of Aug I was in the process of reading "Eat Pray Love" by Liz Gilbert. I'm always intrigued by stories like hers about traveling and spiritual enlightenment etc. I had just finished "Blue Like Jazz" by Don Miller and I was super excited to start EPL. I'm a bit of a book cheater so I took a peak at the last sentence and the authors bio. The bio stated that she was living with her husband Filipe. So I asked my friend Maggie if Filipe was in the book (I was starting to lax on reading because I was getting kinda bored with India). She told me that he wasn't so I stopped reading.
I went to see the movie two nights ago and damn it he was in it! She LIED to me. or she just didn't remember.

So I've been doing alot of reading lately. I picked up EPL again and picked up where I left off- this morning I finished India and am officially about to get into Bali AKA FILIPE!!! Also I've been reading our FS handbook that we have to read entirely and then sign a piece of paper saying that we've read. I'm learning alot but the material is kinda dry (plus its 150+ pages of internet document). I'm on pg 94 of that and I'm about to read about weapon clearence! Necessary, but soooo invigorating (as one of my fav bloggers Dan Bergstein says: Sarcasm hand raised).

Also recent development: I have medicine for my allergies now and I am feeling alot better (thank god). But I had to go to Club Wal (Wal-Mart) and it was super crowded so I missed alot of things that I need to buy :( but everyone is moving in this weekend so it makes sense. But I've been trying to recuperate so I've picked up playing Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets for PS2 (oh yeah. released in 2002 and I'm just now finishing it). But I got through the entire game in like three days here.

Maybe I'll move on to HP and the Chamber of Secrets today.
