I always look forward to Sundays since I usually get to relax. I originally was supposed to go hiking, but we just couldn't get our shit together (or maybe it was me?).
Anyhow, I got bored with the three books I started to read, and took them all back to the library today. I instead got the new Patterson novel, Big Bad Wolf (well, actually I think there's one more newer book now). As well as a couple mystery books. But the one I started first is Shopgirl by Steven Martin. I LOVED The Pleasure of My Company, and so far this one is not disappointing me. I love the voice that he uses in his books. Here's a quick example from one of the first few chapters:
Jeremy and Mirabelle are separated by a hundred million miles of vacuum space. He falls asleep at night in blissful ignornace. She, subtly doped on her new prescription, time-travels through the terrain of her unconscious until she is overcome by sleep. He knows only what is right in front of him; she is aware of every incoming sensation that glances obliquely against her soft, fragile core. At this stage of their lives, in true and total fact, the only thing they have in common is a Laundromat.
Pure genius! Then again, I've been a big fan of Steve Martin for years.
So, I got a new phone. I ordered a new computer from Dell Refirb. I got an appointment Tuesday with the claims adjuster to look at Spaceball One. *sigh* hopefully all this is over with now.
Oh, last night was the Farewell to Long Wongs! :( I got a roll in the funsaver that I'll post when i get it developed. What a great night! Quite possibly the BEST Truckers on Speed show ever. And the rest of the night was awesome too!
I now have 3 funsavers to be developed from the last couple weeks. I'll try to drop them off tomorrow... Ok, well I gotta get moving because I can only get about 20-30 minutes out of the computer before the keyboard and mouse die... then I have to kill it for an hour or so. I'm sure its an overheat problem, but all the fans are functioning properly. I'm not sure why it started doing this. It helps to have the sides and top off of the case, but not by much. When I get the new computer, I'll discet this one and see if I can breathe some more life into it.
Anyhow, that's all for now, kids!
