What are five things you're good at?
Submitted by HapaLove.
1. I'm a very good soapmaker.
2. I'm a very good driver.
3. I'm a very good typist.
4. I'm a very good eater.
5. I'm very good at putting things together even though I can't read instructions.
So I had my sleep study last night at the Sleep Lab. It was a miserable experience. Two hours being hooked up to all manner of electrode and sensor. I had to go pee in the middle of the night and it took the lab dude a half hour to make me mobile. I almost peed myself. He not only unhooked the oxygen sensor from my finger but wrapped it around my wrist and tied it in a bow. Typical night workers ... freak. Okay I shouldn't diss him because he was incredibly attentive. Every time I twitched he came in and checked on me. Just trying to sleep dude. Punchline is I have sleep apnea. World class sleep apnea. I stop breathing 90 times each hour. It's a wonder I'm only cranky and not homicidal. And I have to go back for another night. They didn't try out the equipment on me because I didn't have any sleep episodes that were long enough to make it worth hooking me up. Not looking forward to this. But they scared the shit out of me ... it's wear this equipment or stroke out.
I finished this book. I loved, loved, loved, loved it. I want to marry this book. I am already planning on rereading this book.
The writing is smooth and effortless and carries you along from page to page.
It's a story about love and loss and more loss and a little more loss.
But it redeems itself.
Now I have to read everything else she's ever written.
I watched the grammys this year because I wanted to see the Police reunion. Unfortunately, I fell asleep before their performance.
I saw Justin Timberlake. What is the big deal with him? He's not that good looking. His voice of very ... ordinary. Ditto his songs.
I saw Shakira. She has a beautiful voice but you hardly heard it. The performance was more about her midriff than her voice.
I saw Gnarls Barkley. Loved him. Loved them? I guess they are a group, not a guy. But I like the singer dude ... fabulous voice and presence. And such teeth.
I saw the Dixie Chicks receiving a number of awards. I like them just fine but who dressed them? Were they all pregnant? And that little one seemed to be caught in a net of some kind. And she should try and rein in that flippancy thing. You won an award, be thankful, be sincere, get off the stage. And that other one, not the short one, had her breasts so smashed in by her dress that it pained me.
I wish I could have stayed awake to see the Police.
I am halfway through this book and it's really good but ...
This is one sorrowful book. You just get over one sorrow and she pulls another one of the hat (pun intended).
I just started this book. She also wrote Bel Canto which is why I bought this book. Even though I hate magic.
I even hated the little magic bit on Studio 60 last night. But then that was a bit lame. Two incredibly intelligent and articulate people on a roof together and the woman needs a magic trick to talk to the guy.
My favorite part was the snake + ferret + wolf (coyote?) ... that was far funnier than anything else that went on. Except maybe Hughley calling that other writer Chicken George. He is the best character on this show.
I finished reading Kitchen Confidential. It's a helluva good book. He's a really good writer. I love his rants. I love that he's barely housebroken.
I love that he had found his place ... working as a chef ... a New York chef. And then he started traveling and he became a different person.
Now he's FROM New York. Of course it also means he ditched his wife but he put in 16 years.
This is such a cool little film. It perfectly captures the last 10 years. It's all about content baby.
And this is my contribution?
I can't believe people are so sensitive that they mistook lite brite cartoons as bombs. Terrorists everywhere are laughing their asses off.
