Frauniebarger




So I wanted to post a blog about my fiance's band Frauniebarger. Yes, Frauniebarger (frawn-e-bar-ger). They play indie rock. It's really good stuff and I think that if people are willing to give it a chance then they will really do well. You can listen to their music on http://www.myspace.com/Frauniebarger. It's good stuff!

Yeah...

Hmmm..So I'm not really good at keeping up with these things. I had the intention of starting a mp3 blog in which I could share good music with good people. But I never could figure out how to put the links for direct download on here, so if anybody knows please let me know. But lately I've just been starved for an outlet of some sort. Sometimes I draw or paint, but I really hate dragging out all the art tools when my room is a mess already. And my room is definately a mess. We just moved into my fiance's parents house about a month ago. It's really different and weird. I enjoy not having to work everyday, but it really sucks moving from an apartment on your own to a single room in your in-laws house. So with the free time on my hands from not working I have succeeded in doing nothing. Our room is still littered with boxes and our dirty laundry basket is still full. So I am going to try and be constant with this thing. I'll probably be able to keep it up until school starts in a week. I'm only taking three classes at the University this semester so it shouldn't be too bad. Three classes was about all I could afford anyway with all the fees they tack on this year. $140 parking fee and I don't even own a car. What a joke. I have been able to get some reading done this summer.



I know, this book is so two years ago. But I have been working on reading every book ever written by V.C. Andrews for the past couple of years. I nearly succeeeded this summer, but ran out of funds to continue this mission of mine. So I started reading other books I had collected to read when I had finished. This book I actually got at a thrift store (my favorite place for finding books) for like 75 cents. Anyway, back to the actual book. I loved it! I had seen the movie, which is pretty good. I don't entirely believe the whole book. I understand it's a memoir and people have been debating the validity of modern day memoirs lately (especially with A Million Little Pieces). But I found it very entertaining, and that's what I want my books to do, entertain me. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is read this book, you won't be sorry.

The next book I read is



I really enjoyed this book. I recommend reading this one before you read Running With Scissors. Not because it wasn't just as good, but after reading the crazy and insane story of Augusten Burroughs, Dave Sedaris' life is like a children's bedtime story.

Anywaaay, those are just a couple of the better titles I read this summer that I would recommend to you good people.
