i’ve been a bad blogger. it’s true.
does it help if i mention that i do have several posts, sitting on the hard drive of carmen the laptop? and a few pictures, of things that will possibly not change your life in the slightest? all true. as i said a while back, my internet connection at home is seldom optimal. which means i can get to my home page, but then firefox is all, you got no game. get back to your reading. and i usually do.
the best book i’ve finished this week?
5 people that died during sex – yes. yes. you know you want to read something like this. while i normally don’t share with people my bizarre affinity for useless information, this is a great book full of useless information. along with the title list, of people that snuffed it mid- or post-coitus, there are other fabulous and strange facts. like, the ten people that died on the toilet. which… well, elvis and catherine the great died the same way. huh.
and president harding may have had three testicles. hitler only had one. i used to take care of a quad that only had one testicle. or, as he liked to sing out after shower time ‘one pinto bean!’ to the rough tune of the ‘five golden rings’ bit from 12 days of christmas.
er… anyway. it’s a good book. i loved every page. if you don’t laugh at least once, you’re soulless. just saying.
and, i bought some cd’s this weekend… oh, wait! i saw a great movie! with an even better floor show!
the movie is called once. there are no big-name actors in it, aside from the main guy that was in the committments. shame on you if you haven’t read that book or seen the movie. shame. anyway, once. good movie, great soundtrack. kind of a love story. street musician guy meets czech girl, music ensues.
the floor show i refer to… a slightly elderly couple were seated in the row ahead. now, this is an irish film, so there are accents. some of which are even irish. but every so often, the husband would lean over and say LOUDLY, “what did he/ she say?” he may have been a bit deaf as well. but he kept muttering about the “damn accents” and “why can’t they talk normal?” personally, i couldn’t stop laughing.
it’s a really good movie. i really liked it. it’s not as mushy as one would expect of a romance-ish movie. it’s cute, and funny. and it was well worth the price of admission.
oh, go see it already.
and yeah, the cd’s. i haven’t finished listening to them, so full review later this week. still working 12 hour days, which is only what one makes of it. i keep thinking this is the last long day i’ll have to do, and then i get the call. that they have more fresh hell for me.
eh, whatever.
while i still have a car, it’s only in the vaguest sense of the word. the mechanic guy has been to two auctions looking for a car that meets my demands. i haven’t heard back about this last one, but i’m not holding my breath. i may actually have to – eeep! – suck it up and go to a car lot. largely because buying a car from a private party is insane. everyone thinks their 1996 honda in less-than-perfect condition can totally fetch $5,000. and maybe it can. but not from me. because, dude – i know how to use a bluebook. and don’t even get me started on carfax.
just saying. thanks for stopping by.
