McDreamy is Raskolnikov

I'm reading Crime and Punishment right now--and don't get me wrong it's an amazing book and I'm really enjoying it--but I really want to be reading Jane Eyre. I came to this realization when I was creating my reading lists from past and present (take a look at the right!), and found the DVD of Jane Eyre featuring Anna Paquin as Young Jane.

I love Anna Paquin, more so now that I'm obsessed with True Blood, and I'd like to re-read the book (one of my favorites) and watch her in the movie to see how she was when she was little (I've seen it once before but I wanna watch it again!).



So, I was looking through amazon for Crime and Punishment (same reason as stated before) and discovered that Patrick Dempsey played Raskolnikov in TV series version of Crime and Punishment! I shit you not. Sir Ben Kingsley was in it too, he played Porfiry. I'm so watching this once I finish the book.

Jeff Bezos has an amazing laugh

Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon.com, was on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart on Monday to talk about the release of the Kindle 2. He was a really good sport and didn't mind that Jon Stewart tried in every way possible to make the Kindle 2 look like an exorbitant piece of technology. AND to top it all off, he has an amazing laugh. Check it out for yourself.
