“To thee old cause!
Thou peerless, passionate, good cause,
Thou stern, remorseless, sweet idea,
Deathless throughout the ages, races, lands,”

I remember the night I fell in love with the evening. I was driving on a mountain road, a few moments after dusk: the trees’ shadows were merging with the background of the sky, the cool air was a whisper in my ear. I did not abandon myself uncontrollably, I did not lose sight of the road. Rather the evening surrounded me the way a footprint surrounds a foot, the way a star is surrounded by empty space.

Chace Crawford to play Jailbird on ‘Family Guy’
“Dial Meg for Murder” airing Sunday, Jan. 31 (9:00-9:30 PM ET/PT) on Fox.
The 24-year-old’s sexy voice will be used for Luke, Meg’s jailbird boyfriend who she helps bust out of jail and naturally then attempts to hide at the Griffins’ home. Standard.
Unfortunately, the cops bust Meg and she gets jailed herself. Chace Crawford may not be playing himself, but he did bring his Gossip Girl man-bangs and stubble …
FTW

#2: Bel Canto by Ann Patchett
This book is about an unlikely group of foreign delegates who end up hearing an opera singer at a birthday party and subsequently becoming hostages held in a vice president’s home by a clan of demanding terrorists. Sounds charming right? Well believe it or not, charming is the only word I can think of to describe this story. It’s based on the Lima Crisis, which I knew nothing about previously but now find pretty compelling. Even in the middle of what should be a frightening experience, it seems good things can happen; in fiction, at least.
Another enjoyable aspect of the book was the intertwining music. Opera is a major character here, but the way Patchett describes each person’s relationship to the music in the house is thoughtful and precise. Music is a big part of my own life and being able to relate to what the men and women in the book felt gave the story a little more umph.
I still feel as though I’m taking my time and reading a little slower than my usual pace this month. It’s way to early in the game to be worried about numbers, but this is a book that should be read slowly. For even as the plot sounds like a story of suspense, it moves quietly without cause for hurry.

Um, right now I’m trying to just finish my record and getting through the last season of Gossip Girl for right now. So not so much thinking about that.

What a girl! She’s, like, totally got her priorities on point. Like, where is Haiti, anyway? Isn’t that way over in Asia? Like, why are we, like, even stressing this?
