Apparently I'm an "Addict" and you might be too!

I’m serving hash this week. I have no news worth reporting on my WIPs other than they are stilling whipping me and I’m valiantly WIP-ing back.

I did sneak off with my husband to see Hangover 2 and laughed my head off. I was so in the mood for stupid and the movie really delivered the dumb bomb I so badly needed.

Added bonus Bradley Cooper is hot! Jeepers, creepers where did Bradley get those eyes? As if the eyes and the smart charm weren’t enough, apparently he speaks fluent French… sigh. That’s nice, I like that. I don't know about you but that Youtube video of Bradley Cooper on French television makes me want to buy a Rosetta Stone language course, bad!

Now I can’t wait to finally see “Bridesmaids”, everyone I know already saw it and loved it. Actually there are a lot of interesting movies this year, unlike other years when there was little I cared to see. I expect to be at the movies again soon taking a bunch of little boys to see the Green Lantern. (Psst it’s not completely selfless, Ryan Reynolds stars…)

I did get a nice surprise earlier this week. Lupa at You Gotta Read Reviews gave “Owned By Rome” a great review. Thank you Lupa!

Also if you frequently read, write or just enjoy the occasion romance novel you must be warned: Beneath that steamy book cover hides a thrilling gateway drug to hell! According to Salt Lake City based Life-coach Kimberly Sayer-Giles romance can be addictive and ruin lives. At least that’s what she says in her hardboiled article about the perils of romance addiction. Her main caveat with reading romance novels was they caused “physical sensations so pleasurable the reader would want to repeat the experience.” (Duh!) She reasons you could be left panting for what you cannot have and harbor unrealistic expectations about love, which is true if you think you are going to marry a billionaire Vampire Navy SEAL. So the next time you’re jonesing for a hunky, steamy does of Alpha male please take Ms. Sayer-Giles advice and take up a wholesome hobby instead of reaching for an addictive novel.

I left a comment on the Redlines and Deadlines blog regarding Ms. Sayer-Giles…(Its mean but I’m a pervert who reads and writes romance.)

Well that’s my hash!
