Los Angeles Magazine January 2017 Review & Discussion


This is one of my impulse purchases at the airport.  I just can't resist any magazine that has a mouth watering food photo as a cover.  The following article is the only thing I had read so far though.  I'm not a newspaper reader or subscriber, but somehow I find it fascinating to read about the problems & troubles within the L.A. Times.  

Link to article:
What's the Matter with the L.A. Times 

I feel such a strong resonance when I read the comment of a staffer at L.A. Times regarding the brain drain, "You don't quit the Los Angeles Times to go to Kaiser Health News or Reuters. These people are not quitting the Times. They're quitting to leave their bosses."

The Next Best Thing: Book Discussion

Image
I don't have time to read all my books because I'm addicted to playing the fashion game Stardoll. Hi, welcome to my book party! Please feel free to comment and discuss about this book in the comment area below if you are currently reading this book.  Right now, I'm stuck at page 47 where the virgin heroine of the story senselessly gave her first-ever blow job to a co-worker whom she had a crush on. She did it hoping to rope him in to be her boyfriend. I'm feeling traumatized when the book said the heroine was coughing and sputtering after gulping the semen that tasted like hot, salted Clorox.  Ewk! This is the first romance novel I read, and is just the saddest thing I have to read.  This is so ruining all the notions about love and romance that I'd learnt from Disney!  How low a self-esteem does a woman have in order to make herself suffer like this?   I spent $6.50 (price + sales tax) to buy this book and I'm not entertained as of now... It's just ...

Living in Style: Book Discussion

Help! I can't stop buying books.  This is my latest book hoard! After sales tax, I spent $7.59 on this book.  I started this blog planning on taking inventory of all the books that I already own. Now I'm adding to my book clutter.  I bought so many books that I hadn't even flipped open after I brought them home. I had literally lost track of what books I have...I recognize that I have a problem.  I need a shrink! In the meantime, I hope I can get some reading out of this book.  Please feel free to discuss this book in the comment area below if you happen to be reading it too.

Twitter Power: Book Discussion

Image
I bought the book brand new back in 2009 for $27.00 (with taxes) from Borders (the bookstore where I hanged most of the time).  I bought it at the time because my friends were talking about signing up on Twitter and when I saw this book, I was planning to learn about what made Twitter anymore special than Myspace & Facebook where I was an extremely active user back then.  But lots of things happened in life to keep me so busy that I literally abandoned my accounts on both Facebook & Myspace; and I just never read this book or had the time to sign up on Twitter until now. Recently I've been starting to open up my moving boxes that I had ignored since I moved to this town few years ago... I can't believe it's been years and I haven't completely unpacked yet. I found this book in one of the boxes filled with books, I started reading and I also signed up for Twitter. Now I had finished reading this book, I'd like to get rid of it to make space.  If ...
