…why I insist on finishing this book that I said I would shut up about, but clearly I’m not shutting up about it yet. I’m pretty sure I’m using it as an excuse to watch what I’m sure is the equally insufferable movie adaptation starring Hilary Swank. Gag. I was just at Netflix updating my [...]

Still torturing myself
Posted in books on April 24, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I’m still reading that book, even though it’s not getting any better. I can’t stand it for long periods at a time, but I read a chapter or two each night before I go to sleep.
In addition to the misfired attempts at humor, the ham-fisted exposition, and the excruciating repetition, I’m being bludgeoned in the noggin [...]
Day off

I hate when I’ve had a day off and suddenly it’s after 8pm, and I have no idea what I did with my day. I’m pretty sure I didn’t accomplish anything. I did a few things, but not enough.
Sure, I finished my laundry and went grocery shopping. And I did read the 100+ pages that [...]
PS, I don’t like you that much

I’m reading this morning, just as I promised I would, but I’m having a rough go of it. My friend gave me her copy of “PS, I Love You” (by Cecelia Ahern) with rave reviews. I’m somewhere around 25 pages in, and the writing is just not working for me. It’s very amateurish.
I don’t want [...]
Movies galore

I’ve watched a ton of movies in recent weeks. As great as it has been to catch up on movies– some of which I’ve been wanting to see for years– my reading is suffering for it. I had to return several books to the library today, and I read not a one of them. Shame! I’m [...]
Local Yokel

All anyone can talk about around here is the snow. The local news this morning was about almost nothing else. They interviewed some of the few people who were out and about, and… I just don’t understand how they find these people. It’s typical of local news, and I guess I find it amusing, but [...]
Movies and whatever

I’ve watched some movies since last I checked in here. I don’t feel like doing even quick-read reviews, so I’ll tell you quickly whether I liked them.
No Country for Old Men: Fantastic. There were scenes that were so tense, I could’t take it in silence so I had to squeak-scream.
Thank You for Smoking: Great satire. Katie [...]
