So yeah, I’m gonna go see New Moon this afternoon with a friend. I feel like a grownup, I tell ya. I do love the misspelling of Saga that has been printed on (I assume) thousands of tickets. Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile

I’m a member of Houlihan’s HQ and got an email about their upcoming cupcake offerings. They let us know about cupcakes and you KNOW my ears perked up for that.
On the left is a chocolate cupcake with peanut butter frosting and what looks like crushed butterfinger on top. Tasty, but the frosting was goopy and slid off the cupcake in spots. In the middle is vanilla with vanilla frosting and white chocolate shavings. Oddly enough, it also had half a starlight mint on top. This frosting was too thick and didn’t pull away when I pulled part of the cake away. The cake itself was nothing special, either. Gotta give it some love for the white chocolate shavings. On the right is a chocolate cake with Kahlua frosting. The cake was too crumbly, the frosting was too thick, but it was tasty. Overall, the peanut butter won for taste and ease of eating. If I was out with a group of friend and they wanted to split cupcakes, I would not turn them down. Too much for just me, however. I will spare you a picture of the carnage I left behind.Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile

I am a big Jane Austen fan. I have all of the books she wrote and a few books containing unfinished manuscripts and juvenalia. If I see a book that is a sequel, prequel or reimagining of a Jane Austen novel, you can be assured that there is a good chance I will pick it up (unless there are zombies, sea monsters or vampires involved).
I follow several blogs about Jane Austen related books, movies, events, etc.
My favorite Jane Austen blog, and the one that I think you should be reading, is Bitch In a Bonnet.
The author, Robert, just finished up a wonderfully snarky review of Sense and Sensibility. He has been going through the book and posting a review every 5 chapters.
If you have ever read Sense and Sensibility, the reviews will crack you up because they are spot on. If you haven’t read it because you are worried that the book is too dry or you are just too darn manly to read chick books, his posts may change your mind.
Let me get you started. First, go read his introductory post. Next, go read his review of chapters 1-5.
If you have not laughed or thought positively of Jane Austen by the end of your reading, I wash my hands of you and suggest you go read some Dan Brown or watch NASCAR.
