Thoughts

I just read an entire book without using a bookmark. This is a travesty, because now the spine of the book is all broken.

Hubby and I were driving today, and we drove past this place called "Classy Nails." I am pretty certain that if you put the word "Classy" in your name, you are not, in fact, classy.

And also: these pictures? Why do salons still use them? I can honestly say that I have not wanted to look like any of those people since 1987.

The other day I went to the hardware store, because I needed a file. (It's a really long story, okay?) This is the kind I ended up with. Hah! A Flat Bastard File. Does anyone else see the possibility here? Maybe Flat Bastard is Fat Bastard's long lost twin. And he is so flat because his twin is so fat! This is awesome.

I have this friend that works at a car dealership. They have set up a room with computers that customers are free to use while waiting for their cars. My friend called me yesterday to tell me what happened to her at one of the computers. One of the customers, (or I'm willing to bet, one of the children of a customer) saved a very graphic pornographic image as the wallpaper for the computer. My friend was (luckily) the first one to get on the computer after this happened. She was all kinds of flustered, and she knows less about computers than cave-people do. So she was stuck. She said her first thought was to get out of the room so people wouldn't suspect her of doing it. But she ended up calling in someone who knew something about computers, and the situation was rectified. Apparently there was a lot of blushing and avoidance of direct eye contact. I think that is completely hysterical. And if you don't think too deeply about it, you will too.

Reading

Books of Booky Past: these are books that I have recently (or not so recently) read, and recommend.

the plain truth: jodi picoult
This book provided a wealth of information about the Amish community. It was wonderful.

the time traveler's wife: audrey niffenegger (sp?)
This book is like the movie Serendipity. Wow! the first time around, still pretty great for consequent readings.

Present Booky Books: do I really need to explain what this is?

dragon haven: robin hobb
Yeah, it's fantasy. So is Edward Cullen.



Books of the Future: Oooooo!
