I have to say I hate it. I am a total ...Shopping. I have to say I hate it. I am a total internet shopper nowadays. Something about the crowds that kill me everytime. Last December sealed my fate of becoming the anti-shopper. I was in Ireland on my honeymoon, getting knocked up, doing some research, driving on the left... Decided to go shopping to bring back goodies for the people I happen to be related to. CROWDS of shoppers were crammed in every store in Dublin. I felt sick and sweaty. My hands were shaking and the buildings spun. I couldn't get out fast enough. Needless to say, I am not buying gifts for anyone this year but my son. But he's only two months, he just needs a cool rattle. I guess you could say I am grinchy, too. Isn't that strange for someone with estrogen???<BR/><BR/>On another note...<BR/><BR/>The Da Vinci Code. I had problems getting through it. I found it plausible, but there are too many holes. I didn't finish. It can be thought provoking, but so can any book. I think it depends on how much you know about religion going into the book. My degrees are in religious studies (literatures, liturgy, 14th.c. practices, all that crap) so I found it difficult to get into. When I read fiction, I like for it to take me somewhere. There is nothing like soaking in a steaming bath, reading about some headstrong farm girl who gets bent over by the dashing but mysterious farm hand. She pretends she is not that kind of girl, but don't we all? She wants more... wow, I see what's on my mind. I behave like a man sometimes, sorry.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, keep in mind that it is entirely fiction and let go of any religious training you may have if you really want to sink your teeth in it.<BR/><BR/>BTW, do you know who your friends are? Talking up a book to get you to PURCHASE it. So much for your rant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
