Well, I finished Anna Karenina. The first three-quarters of the book were interesting. I kept falling asleep during the last part, though. (Warning: spoiler ahead.) I mean, after she commits suicide, why does Tolstoy have another sixty pages of Levin's philosophical soul searching? Really, he should have wrapped it up in ten pages. Oh, well.
On a happier note, I had a delightful birthday! My parents and extended family certainly helped to make it very special. My parents gave me some wonderful books on filmmaking and two books by Uta Hagen on acting (recommended by Monica). And lots of other specimens of loveliness.
Oh, and I planted my herb garden! We'll have some happy cooking this summer!
Hmmm.... I believe that is all. Now I'm reading Salinger's Franny and Zooey. Delightful thus far! However, that's what I said about Anna Karenina at the beginning, too. Well, we will just have to wait and see, won't we?

I love Franny and Zoey so hard!
I meant Zooey...
i'm partial to franny, myself. short and sweet.
Don't limit yourself to just one...I'm sure there's enough love in your heart for all of the Glass siblings.
Have you read Nine Stories yet? If not, you should.
And also: you were missed this weekend. By all of us. And especially me.
