Maybe, maybe the girl in the green top can come to my party, but the rest of these freaks can take their weird asses straight to the nearest trash compactor.

Barnes & Noble maybe could have only stocked two or perhaps maybe four books instead of three. I sort of laughed.

The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay
Nov2207 Books
It took me an entire week to wade through the explosion of words that are The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay. Six hundred plus pages of run on sentences and epic detail. It is actually kind of sad that, after finishing this novel, what sticks in my mind is how verbose this book was.
The extreme wordiness, while it could have been contained, could be considered a necessary evil for this work. The characters in TAAK&C (sweet acronym) are so well written that I could make some cliche reference to them jumping off the page or coming to life.
If you're in to fiction firmly grounded in near-reality you should give this one a shot. It's all about two cousins, one jewish, during the second world war and their struggle with just about everything that can be thrown at them. Also involves New York City, comic books, Prague (Czech it out), magicians, and pubes occasionally.

So I got a new television.
Nov1907 things
I've wanted to get an HDTV for a long time now, but it turns out they're kind of spendy. Last night I finally succumbed to my inner consumer whore and picked one up. I like it. A lot. Except the only HD anything I have for it is the four or five over-the-air channels it pulls down. Which is cool because now I can watch House and the Office in HD, assuming the writer's get off their sorry butts and rob a bank.
Anyway someone should mail me direct TV and a Blu Ray player and, you know, some other carp.

I hate Houston
Basically: morons, Wal-Mart, Shell, Exon, Chevron, highways, suburban sprawl, SUV, big hair, cowboy hats, talking really slow, rude, oblivious, fat, and hot. I roll deep with stereotypes.
