For those of you who don't know, one of my many obsessions is collecting books (memoirs mostly) and DVDs (comedies and Disney). One day (hopefully sooner than later) when Jimmy and I are incredibly rich we are going to build a four wall bookshelf room in our mansion. It has always been a dream of mine. When I told Jim the idea he said he has been dreaming of the same thing since he was little (although his 2 walls will be filled with Vinyl and Cd's). It is going to be a very "busy" room and I can't wait to be in there.
(The dream.. minus the creepo robot/guy)
Anyway, what made me think of this is, today I was on a hunt to buy Alice in Wonderland (Disney classic). I have been wanting it for a while now and finally it is available for purchase. I haven't seen the full movie since I was a little girl. I saw part of it recently when I was puppy sitting Sir Charles the Pug (son of the gorgeous Ms. LJ and highly talented Mr. Maticulous). Charles and I were so tired we past out right after Alice drank the poison and grew and grew and grew!
Anywho, I was in need so I went to Best Buy and they were sold out! What the poop.. SOLD OUT? Not fair, so then I called up Barnes and Noble and they had it but for $10 more. I said whatever and drove to Park Slope. Barnes and Noble is a huge problem for me. I can't go in there and leave with nothing. I have to buy at least 2 books (it's a big problem). Thanks to the "Easter Bunny" I had a gift card and was able to purchase Alice in Wonderland, "Dry" by Augusten Burroughs (author of Running with Scissors, Magical Thinking, and most recently Possible Side Effects) and " Prozac Nation" by Elizabeth Wurtzel. Both books are memoirs and I don't know which one to read first.. so excited! Does anyone have any books that they highly recommend? If so, pleaseee do tell!
Ciao!

I just finished "Bang Bang" by Chelsea Handler and it was HI-LAR! Just as funny as the first two.. "My horizontal life" and "Are you there vodka? It's me Chelsea".
That is my suggestion of the week!
Ciao!
