SCENE, HEARD, AND READ ALL OVER

The Jerk (26th Anniversary Edition)Lars and the Real GirlReturn To Cookie MountainThe Very Best of Sheryl CrowLove TKO (Re-Recorded / Remastered)The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday MachineThe Diving Bell and the Butterfly: A Memoir of Life in DeathNigella Bites: From Family Meals to Elegant Dinners -- Easy, Delectable Recipes For Any OccasionMedium Raw: A Bloody Valentine to the World of Food and the People Who Cook

Are you judging me for the Sheryl Crow? Please. Can you really not sing along with all the words to "All I Wanna Do" or "My Favorite Mistake" or the best song ever, "If It Makes You Happy"??? Plus, the library is where you check out all the embarrassing stuff you would never, ever buy/get caught with in real life. Unless you write a blog and are shameless. By the way, see how my question mark is outside the quotation marks? Read about that stylistic choice here, per Slate.com. Well, I guess if it makes me happy, it can't be that bad. Heh.

Out of all these items, I'd really recommend, "Nigella Bites" - wonderful cookbook with awesome stories; she writes so well, and it's one of those cookbooks that you would actually spend some time pouring over the stories accompanying the recipes. I didn't actually try the recipes, given my vegan-ism. I have made many of her recipes before, though, and there is a reason she is the domestic goddess. I'd check out both movies, and all the music, but if you're short on time, I'd read "Moneyball" over "The Big Short" for a taste of Michael Lewis. Plus, it's being a made into a movie with Brad Pitt!

Also, Anthony Bourdain is STILL angry and continues to hate vegetarians. Why does this guy have so much to say? Better yet, why do I still find him fascinating? He is so, so whiny. I think I enjoy him best on "No Reservations" (his Travel Channel show). I like it when he yells at crew members and his narration is almost as good as Lauren Conrad's on her late show, The Hills. I never said I was high brow.

Okay, I have to pack for Beantown. I plan on picking up Ben Affleck at a bar. Which, given his proclivities, shouldn't be too difficult.

Peace,
Tiffany
