Books, films and thoughts

Hello there everyone, time for another post! Thank you for all the responses on the one about trends, I didn't mention them all but you got the idea.
@SaxGirl: Yeah, I remember there was a Pokemon thing but I haven't seen any trading cards around at that time o_O Everything arrives later here so maybe I didn't notice it.
@Kelsey: I doth not know what is this POG thou talketh about ^_^" Sorry, I might recognize it if you describe it a bit. I've been wearing the same stuff for years and feeling good, too! If anything, I don't follow trends at all. These days, some yellow shoes and clothes are trendy, a crazy shade of yellow. I hate it when stuff I like is trendy, it makes me feel common -_- (not that I like the crazy yellow, I prefer pastel colors)
@Lory: I liked the song too (even though it would be WAY better if sung by Ville Valo -lead singer from H.I.M.- in my opinion). Linkin Park is...I don't know...some kind of "frustrated rock"? I don't really like screaming and their message is always about betrayal and the likes ._. Too negative for my taste.

I predict this post is going to be longer than the others, only the replies took up one third of it!
A few days ago, Mary gave me a book to read. She said she had read it and was very good, so I started reading it. I've finished reading it a few moments ago, it's one of the most interesting books I have ever read; it deals with the problems of a 23-year-old drug addict who tries to give up drugs and alcohol. It's not written in a light-hearted style and I appreciate the realism and the fact that James Frey (author and main character) doesn't conceal things. I recommend it if you're into realistic books :)

For some weird reason, my scanner won't scan the entire cover, so you'll have to make do with this small image ._.

As for films, I haven't really been watching too many lately. I saw Ed Wood and it was enjoyable I like Tim Burton's strange way of thinking and he always manages to surprise me! I also saw Casanova; it was funny and romantic, I really needed to see something like that because I haven't seen a romantic comedy in a while ^_^ As for what's next, I'm planning to see Dracula (1992) because it has Anthony Hopkins in it ^^ And Gary Oldman. And Keanu Reeves ^^

Anyway, yesterday night I was up late, since I drank a frappe at about 8 p.m. and couldn't get to sleep to save my life -_-" Besides, it's hot at night and there are a lot of annoying mosquitoes buzzing around which is even more irritating! I just sat at the balcony and looked at the street for half an hour and thought to myself "why do people say the night life in Bucharest is wild?" Really, there were a few cars and some groups of 2-3 guys walking around but that was it! The street my flat faces is not one of the most important but it gets pretty crowded during daytime. Maybe it's only something to attract tourists (as if anyone would want to come here *rolls eyes*)... Is your city also like that? Quieter or noisier than said in the press?

Guess it's all I wanted to say this time, nothing much has happened. I've made a new vector, you can check it out here if you want to, it's dedicated to Saku for her birthday: vector & description. I've also been working on a few wallpaper and vector projects, I hope I can get them done soon... Oh, I almost forgot! I got a new monitor and it's widescreen and I love it! My current res is 1440x900 so expect a lot of widescreen walls from me (I usually wall widescreen anyway but now I have an actual reason to!) I'll be changing my theme soon too, so tell me what you think if you see the new one! ^_^ Hope you have a great day, my dear friends!
