So...I was watching Gossip Girl today. I really wish I lived in NY!!! Seriously, i\I think that would be the coolest thing ever. Actually I think they glamourize it a alot in GG though. Still, I wish I could go to private school like Serena and Blaire!! haha :D
You know what I think is really weird and stupid about this show....they have a freaking 15 year old (Jenni) living on her own(or with a friend, same difference) Roaming the streets of NY late at night and TRYING TO START HER OWN BUSINESS. She's younger than me and she is waayyy more succesful not to mention much more experienced in life. Jeezz....I'm so jealous.
So that's basically all I have to say....I'M GOING TO WISCONSIN TONIGHT! :D

James Bond...

I needed a break from The luxe. Sooooo, today my outside reading blog is about James Bond...Quantum of Solace...what that has to do with the movie, I have no idea....sounds cool...but very misleading, well not really....nevermind....god i'm even ackward in my writing.....hahah. Anyway I thought it was good, but I havent seen the other...what, 23 movies, so I really had nothing to base my opinion off of. On the plus side Daniel whateverhisnameis (The actor who plays James Bond) has dreamy eyes. I think that may have been the best part of the movie. On the down side, apparently James Bond does NOT smile, I dont think i saw him smile once in the whole movie, or make a different facial expression besides wannabe blue steel (zoolander) for that matter. Well basically I thought it was good but I wouldnt want to see it again. There, THE END.

I still dont get how Quantum of Solace fits into the movie!!

Scanddyy. :D

Oh My Gosh!! Elizabeth is in loooooveeee with Will, Will is in love with Elizabeth!! They are in love with eachother!! Woah. Did NOT see that coming. Will and Elizabeths relationship is complicated because, in terms of wealth and social status, Will is waaaayyy below her....i mean he's technically her employee, so they really can never be togeather publically, its forbidden love, how romantic...hahah. However, even though they cant be with eachother exclusively it doesnt mean they cant be with eachother privately...and they're with eachother privately...oh they are definetly with eachother privately....quite often infact. I feel so bad for Lena though, she loves Will, like seriously LOVES him, and "Miss Holland" is so rude to her. I predict that Henry is going to get an arranged marriage to Elizabeth, making it even more difficult for Elizabeth and Will to have their private time...This is where Lena will swoop in and mend Will's broken heart.

What will happen next?!! Arent you just dying to find out??

I'm getting so sick of The Luxe...

Chapter 6. In this chapter we are introduced to Elizabeth Holland's maid, Lina. Elizabeth is unusually demanding of her maid, considering they used to be good friends. Lina recalls many nights her and Elizabeth, or Lizzy, as she was called, would play togeather with a priveleged boy named Will Keller. Lina fell in love with Will the first moment she met him, and has remained in love ever since. It's really quite romantic. As they all grew a status barrier wedged its way inbetween Lina and "miss Holland", as she insists on being called. Even though elizabeth and Lina grew apart, Lina and Will remained somewhat friends. Although, they have to meet with eathother at odd hours because of the social barracade. One night when Lina goes to their usual private meeting place Will insists she leaves and repetively tells her "just not tonight." Lina is heartbroken and taumatized, she sits in the dark of the kitchen for what seems like hours until she hears a door open and sees a womans figure go into her and Will's secluded spot....It was Elizabeth Holland.

DUN DUN DUN
Do i smell trouble?
Tune in this wed. to find out what happens next. haha

The Luxe. Chapter 5. Or was it chapter 6? Eh, whatever. Chapter 5/6 starts out with a new character Henry Shoonmaker having an unpleasant conversation with his father....the subject wasnt all that unpleasant...just the tone of voice....i'm sensing there are some unresolved daddy issues with this Henry kid.
So it seems like all the parents in this book are insisting their children get married as soon as possible....i dont get it. Maybe this is the message of the book. Maybe i'm just missing the concept. MAYBE its a rich&famous/Manhattenelite/socialbutterfly thing.....hmmmm? Oh yah. HENRY HAD SEXUAL INTERCOURSE WITH PENELOPE. :D
Prediction: Bad boy Henry Shoonmaker is arranged to be married to good girl Elizabeth Holland.

The Luxe. Chapter 4. Excited?
So this chapter we're introduced to Penelope and Isaac...and thats about it. Penolope is percieved as a spoiled bratty socialite. She hardly distingsiuhes friends from enemies considers Elizabeth (her supposed BFF) to actually be her biggest and most prominent rival. From what i've read about her thus far i'm guessing she's gonna be the cold blooded killer in the story....yeah. Isaac on the other hand seems like a funny, fun-loving guy. Oh yeah and i guess the ball they're at is actually a masquerade ball because Isaac is wearing a jester costume and, well, to be honest i have to hope its a costume ball because otherwise Isaac is officially creepy. Well, i'm taking an educated guess and saying hes gay....There was a mention of Isaac and *ahem* the "luring" of men...not gonna go into details....but yeah. So that's my prediction. Along with my previous prediction.


:]

Alright, well....I got to chapter 4. WOOH.
OK so, chapter 3 starts out with Elizabeth Holland (The dead girls friend i think?) talking with some friends about her envious trip to Paris, much to all of their dissapointment Elizabeth is interupted by her mother and is being told she is wanted for a numerous amount of dances in the ballroom. (They are at a classy shindig :P) Elizabeth unwillingly but politely obliges and is forced to dance with disgusting percival coddington. Before this Elizabeths mother hints to being in possible debt or having immense money problems. Starting in chapter 4 the POV switches to Diana, Elizabeths younger sister, Diana is portrayed as a rebel teenager who is desperatly seeking some action, she even goes so far as to make out with a 20-something year old! (shes only 15) Diana makes a very clear point as to let us, the reader, know "she's had much better." I predict that Diana will get pregnant with Percival's baby because he was the one she "had better with."
I also predict that Percival, unaware of his and Diana's unborn child, will ask Elizabeth to marry him.
And that is probably completely wrong.

DadadadadaDA DAAHH.

OK. For some reason this would not post lastnight. I swear, i'm not making this up.
Anyway, For yesterdaysoutside reading assign. i read the first chapter of The Luxe. Considering the first chapter was spent briefly mentioning characters and describing the setting of a funeral i didnt get much insight as to what the book will actually be about. A murder perhaps? Mystery? Hmmmmm.... It did briefly mention a supposed "friend" (note the air quotes and the use of supposed) who was with the deceased at the time of her accidental drowning. A coincidence? I think not. And please, what would a book with a title like The Luxe be without a scandal. Boring, thats what.
Stay tuned this wednesday for descriptions of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, maybe even 5th chapter if i'm feeling Reeady.(Pronounced: Read-ee, Verb: To have the urge to read.) And yeah I did just make up my own word, if you were wondering. Jealous? :P
