Are You Breathing? If the Answer is Yes: Read these Books!
May 13, 2008 by Romy
Well, it’s official! Sex and the City month of madness has officially started! If you were lucky enough to catch the crew on Oprah talking about the much hyped movie coming out May 30th you know what I’m talking about! Obviously I’ll talk more about that as the time gets closer, but what I’m excited about is the super cute, super lovable Harry (Charlotte’s little lawyer hubby) who is played by actor Evan Handler has a brand new book out called It’s Only Temporary: The Good New and the Bad News About Being Alive where his true charisma shines through. In the book he talks about his incredibly miraculous fight with leukemia in his twenties. More than anyone, it would seem that Handler has a true and hilarious grasp on what it means to be alive. All too often, perhaps some of us take this whole life thing a little too seriously, or worse still we take it for granted. Through hilarious and charming stories, like when Handel talks about his various relationship experiences, this book is truly valuable to anyone who breathes. Seriously!
Coincidently, there’s another book hitting the charts by storm. The incredible story of a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon, who after being diagnosed with terminal cancer decided that he would give his “Last Lecture.” Much to the surprise of everyone who showed up, and even the professor Randy Pausch, hundreds of people showed up for his talk. The talk was so well received and so incredible, that a book entitled, Last Lecture was released in April as a means of documenting this lecture and his work for Pausch’s most important audience – his young children. This book is a memoir for his family, and for others who are looking for inspiration and perspective on this little, and magical thing we call life.

Carly Smithson Says Goodbye on Idol this Week
April 29, 2008 by Romy
My favorite American Idol was voted off this week – that’s right, the Irish and tattooed Carly Smithson was eliminated in this round. This Dublin-born singer was so gracious about exiting the show, it just reminded me why I liked her so much! Everyone seems to remember her because of the controversy this season when it was discovered that she had released a record under her maiden name Carly Hennessy on MCA back in 2001, but it’s not like she’s the only Idol contestant to ever have achieved some form of success before the show!
