YAY! I finally have a follower, thanks Kate! I'm working on spiffing up the look of this thing too. Opinions thus far?
Okay, so I thought it might be fun to do a rant/rave entry. I'm bored, humor me, or suggest something.
Books:
Women authors:
Rave: Alice Walker.
Powerful writer, love her books, definitely worth a read, or re-read.
Rant: Kate Chopin.
After reading smashing reviews of The Awakening, I bought it. Big mistake. It was awful, I had to force myself to finish the book, then I couldn't get rid of it! No one wanted that piece of crap, I finally was able to sell it with some textbooks.
Men authors:
Rave: Kurt Vonnegut.
Love this guy and all of his works.
Rant: Ernest Hemmingway.
His portrayal of women is chauvinistic and his writing style is annoying.
Self Help:
Rave: The Fastest Way To Get Pregnant Naturally by Christopher Williams
Full of useful info (for those who are fertile anyway) it gave me ideas of things to ask my doctor when I went in the first time, and what to expect from my specialist.
Rant: The Proper Care And Feeding of Husbands by Dr. Laura
I have never in my life wanted to burn a book until I read this one. According to the author, if your husband is being a dick it's because you aren't treating him well enough, and sex solves all problems. Not so much, turns out my first husband was just a douchebag.
Shopping:
Rave: Frederick's of Hollywood.
Good quality, sexy and the sales are fabulous! AND they carry my bra size (36F) in store!!
Rant: Victoria's Secret
The sales girls are always rude, the sales suck, not much selection if you want some sexy panties, and they're crappy, I got a free pair of undies from there and they started fraying the first time through the washer. Extra suck point; the bra sizes stop at a D or DD.
Rave: Sephora.
Not only do they carry my favorite makeup, when they're out of something I want, they call me when it's in and save me one. Very handy when I need makeup remover, UD goes quick, by the time I got in to pick up my bottle, they had run out again!
Rant: The PX.
It's good if you want to get Lancome, Clinique, or Estee Lauder for cheaper than anywhere else, but don't expect to find a pricetag on anything or even a salesgirl to help most of the time.
Rave: Old Navy.
Comfy, quality, cute and inexpensive!
Rant: Hot Topic.
Was cool about ten years ago, now it's all Twilight, Emo, and over-priced junk that falls apart immediately.
Rave: Green Beans Coffee.
Pure awesomeness. Organic coffees, they support the military, and their profits go to an organization that helps families who have lost loved ones in service.
Rant: Starbucks.
Tastes kind of gross, the lattes are too sweet and if you believe the rumors, they refused to send our troops coffee to Iraq or Afghanistan.
Music:
Rave: Type O Negative
Pete Steele has a sexy, unmistakable voice, and songs that are absolutely amazing. Also, they guys aren't afraid to make fun of themselves and each other.
Rant: Metallica.
The music sucks, they have admitted they're only in it for the money, and they take themselves way too seriously. Highly overrated.
Rave: Liz Phair
Oh yeah, she goes there. Interesting lyrics and original sound.
Rant: Lady Gaga
WTF? This woman seriously gives me the creeps. Her music is unoriginal, and sounds like a broken record, not to mention her lack of proper clothing, do we really need another pop star showing girls they need to be damn near naked to get anyone to pay attention to them?
Rave: NuMetal.
Mudvayne, Slipknot, Static X, doesn't get much better than that!
Rant: 80's Metal.
Hard to tell one band from the next with all of the ridiculous screaming (think David Lee Roth). More annoying than entertaining.
I'm sure I'll think of more later, perhaps for an encore!
