The pride parade looks amazing, and I am in total agreement with you about Sherlock. I am so addicted to that show. Will the next season EVER get here?! I totally feel your pain on mood reading too. When I'm feeling down or just out of sorts, it's really hard to get into a book. Hopefully your July is better! <br /><br />I totally love your creepy monkey, and yes, you should DEFINITELY lock it in the closet. Also, I think your new monkey salt shaker friend would get along famously with another totally sketchy and possibly murderous monkey:<br /><br />http://thebloggess.com/2011/07/would-you-like-to-buy-a-monkey/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-27248970452365560572013-07-08T22:13:32.967-06:002013-07-08T22:13:32.967-06:00Sherlock!!

That's completely understandable, and even though it affected your mood for reading, I'm pretty sure you still read more than I. And I don't have an excuse, haha!<br /><br />Love the photos of the pride parade! I've heard some things about it and how it was so much fun! Glad you had a fantastic time. :)<br /><br />Oh, and of course, Sherlock... Everyone loves that show! I wish I could say the same, but I've never seen it. D: But I HAVE seen 500 Days of Summer, which I adored. Maybe I'll have to watch it a second time and see if I love it even more, like you did!<br /><br />Lovely post, Aylee! I thought it was just right--not too personal at all.

I'm sorry your bf being away had such a downer effect, I'd be the same though if the bf was every away for too long, I missed him a lot when I was in NYC. I loved your Pride pics on Instagram and I'm glad you had such a memorable (albeit intense) experience! I'd love to attend a Pride in a big Canadian city - closest for me would be Montréal which would probably be insane :D Speaking of insane: YOU watched & loved Sherlock!!!! Eeeep, ok so Doctor Who is even more of a MUST now because the 2 Sherlock Writers (Steven Moffat & Mark Gatiss, a.k.a. Mycroft) are both involved with Doctor Who! Moffat is the lead writer/executive producer of Doctor Who & 'Mycroft' has written Who episodes and even appeared in 2 episodes :D *breathes* k, geek-fest, done. >.< <br /><br />PS- you're very brave to bring that mysterious and evil looking monkey home with you. Eeeek! O.O Make sure to keep that bad boy locked away and covered up. Hopefully he's the only one of it's kind, cause I can so see my best friend gifting me that ironically. *shudders*Michelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09220874121683955988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-65015902520038097612013-07-04T09:39:14.043-06:002013-07-04T09:39:14.043-06:00What IS that salt-shaker monkey thing?

It's SO creepy looking, but definitely the odd sort of gift I'd be drawn to. ;) <br /><br />I'm sorry you had a bit of a moody month, but I hope July will bring you some great reads! I'm generally not much of a people person, so I quite like being by myself, though I do understand how your mood can affect your reading. It happens to me often, if not all the time. <br /><br />And I would love for this to be a regular feature! I hope you decide to keep doing it. :)Sam (Realm of Fiction)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04440380021875536125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-28794877754574405712013-07-03T23:16:36.342-06:002013-07-03T23:16:36.342-06:00I kind of fall apart when I'm stuck at home by...I kind of fall apart when I'm stuck at home by myself, so I completely understand!<br /><br />I'm glad you liked Sherlock.

Books are basically my life, every day. Anyway. The pride parade looks so fun! Wish we had those kinds of stuff here, but alas. No. My country is probably the most boring. :( Also, I've been DYING to watch 500 Days of Summer. Just never got around to it, I suppose. Glad to hear that MU stood up to your expectations, though of course. It would NEVER be able to beat MI. Is Celia in there? I don't recall seeing her on the movie poster, only a nerdy Randall (that was hilarious, glasses and sweater and all).<br /><br />That monkey-thing looks scary as hell. Locking it up is probably a good idea. <br /><br />Hope July is as fab as June was for you!

That's pretty cool, we have one here in Portland, I've never gone. My mom has on numerous occasions. Switching topics, that monkey, I'm not sure if I'm on board with that, its a bit creepy looking for my tastes. I think you read a ton of books for June.

I have yet to start watching that show (and many others) but since I love the Robert Downey Jr. movies, I'm bound to love this show as well. (500) Days of Summer is such a beautiful movie! And yes, Monters Inc. is also a favorite movie of mine and I'm so psyched for Monsters University as well as Despicable Me 2.
