Out of My Pocket #27

Hey, remember when this used to be a regular feature on my blog? I have to ask you people these things because I am failing as a blogger lately. Anyhoo, looks like the last OoMP post was in February 2010!! That's over two years ago. Golly, have I really bought so few books? Go, me!

Previous OoMP posts can be found here!

At Christmas time I bought a ton of books with gift cards. I have read very few of those books. I was supposed to have something read and reviewed last Tuesday, yet I haven't even cracked the cover open. I'm just a big puddle of restless misery right now. Although last evening we ended up at the bookstore near us because we happened to be in the area for other things. I picked up two books I knew were out that I wanted and two surprise ones. I am hoping that one of these will help kick start that reading drive again. Goodreads has already started telling me I'm 3 books behind in my goal for the year. I don't like Goodreads' attitude. So negative.

I was more than happy to find The Extraordinary Secrets of April May and June on the bargain shelf because it's been a book that has always piqued my interest, but I was never brave enough to try it. I couldn't say no to $4.99.

In other news, I just spent over an hour in photoshop trying to come up with a different header image for my blog - both blogs, really. I just... I'm all creatived out lately. I have nothing inside of me. I want to be creative and I want to care about things, but I have nothing. Emptiness. My muse has deserted me and run off with my imagination somewhere. Probably Disney World where they are having a hoot of a time without me. Bastards.

I hate my header. I just tossed something up there since I lost my regular one when my hard drive crashed. I just don't have it in me to create things. Or read. Or sing. I'm just an empty shell.

Enough woe is me.. I'm really not as depressed as I sound. I'm just in a really weird head space and I can't figure out what I want to do and I don't seem to have anything but apathy towards so many things right now. Ugh. If you have any helpful ideas of how to get my groove back, feel free to share them. ;)

That being said, I am not going to write the titles or link them to goodreads as I normally do. No desire to put that much effort into this. I just felt like I should post something.

Ugh! I am so angry at myself for being in this funk! I don't even want to READ! READ! That's like, my thing. Boo. Hiss.
