Amazon.com: Recommended for You - The Princess Diaries, Volume VI: Princess in Training
Recommended because: you purchased The Sims 2: Nightlife Expansion Pack

...ok, seriously. Is Amazon.com on crack? Because how the fuck do you go "Hm, she bought The Sims 2 expansion! Clearly she must be interested in the sixth Princess Diaries book!"

They also have recommended Dora the Explorere: Fairytale Adventures, and the CD Never Gone by the Backstreet Boys for the same reason. Oh, and a Mikasa Parchment Gravy Boat and Stand because I said I owned The Daily Show with Jon Stewart Presents America. wtf, Amazon?

Today I spent most of the morning playing The Sims 2 rather than doing homework/studying. Then went to see A Christmas Carol at South Coast Rep which is always nice to see (we see it every year). It's cool, too, because I was looking through the program and one of the actresses played the realtor on the third episode of this season of The O.C., and another played a demon on Charmed in season 6, and another played the cab driver in Storming the Castle on the fist season of Arrested Development. Such random parts, but really cool to be like "OMG I SAW THEM ON TV!" Then the rest of the night has been spent procastinating doing any work. sigh. I need to work harder in school.

bah. 14 more days until break.

lmao! WTF, indeed. Oh, I know how it is with the Sims 2. It's so addictive, sometimes I play for hours without realizing how long it's been. *is lame* :P

Your layout is really nice, btw.

Well clearly, you have a subconscious desire to buy princess books.

Amazon has your psyche all figured out, no worries.

Amazon is on crack! ;)

LOL Princess Diaries are cool!

(hee)

LOL about their recommodations ;) They always do these weird things and adding stuff that really has no sense...

Happy to hear you had a great time at that play and seeing them actors/actresses :)
2 weeks will fly by like...nothing ;)

LOL omggg, Amazon always gives me whacked out recommendations too!! What the hell!

I know, I can play it for hours and not pay attention to the time and then waste all day.

Aw, thank you! :)

Clearly. Amazon knows all.

Actually, the funny thing is I do have the first four books. But Amazon doesn't know that! Maybe it's stalking me.

Heh, it clearly is.

Heh, I actually do like the books (or I liked them a lot more a couple of years ago) and I have the first four. But Amazon doesn't know that, and it's such a random thing to equate with buying The Sims 2.

I know, Amazon is kind of ridiculous in their reccomendations at times.

Well, 14 days (now 13!) is actually the schooldays, not total days. So it's more like 3 weeks. Our first day of break is the 23rd. Hopefully it'll go by quickly, though.

Heh, Amazon is so crazy. I think it just runs out of stuff to reccomend, so it starts pulling random things out of its ass and pretending it actually had logic behind the recs.

*dies laughing* Wow. I guess a lot of the youngins are taking over The Sims 2 fandom. Bastards.

But yeah, I always find my recs are completely bizarre on Amazon too. I don't know what kind of cracked up system they're using...

My break starts in a weeeeeek. *breathes*
