Listening to Dean Martin makes my day beter, my driving less stressful, and I don’t care who hears me belting the most sappy love songs of his. He deserves the acknowldgement, the ol’ Dino.

I picked this video out while going through my usual routine of scouting out new indie films at Blockbuster and thought that if the cover was enough to intrigue me, it was worth a shot. Although somewhat of a parody at first glance, it turned out to be light-hearted and fun. Definitely a quirky find, it kept me laughing the whole way through.

I felt compelled to pick up Magical Thinking today, while making my rounds at the local Borders. I had previously read Running With Scissors and enjoyed its unnaturally raw edge. Burrough’s ability to make the abnormalities of a life thought as lost, seem perfectly natural, gave me a renewed sense of self. After reading, I had the ability to look at my own life and realize that it’s alright that I’m not perfect. My mistakes and surpassed obstacles have only built me into the person that I am today. Now that I’ve bought Magical Thinking I hope I can just find the time to read it!
