New topic.

I know many people that are reading Cormac McCarthy's The Road right now.. Apparently it's really depressing.

It is. But I really enjoyed it --  a simple tale, stunningly told. I remember BF talked about it a lot (before it was an Oprah pick).

And HAPPY BELATED B-DAY, BRAINFIBER.




(p.s. Why are we still on this topic?)

Oprah's pick?!


Well, that pretty much insures that I will only read it in 20 years or so.

The Pun Issuer strikes again.

I presume this topic name is what Mad Magazine went with.

so probably most of you won't be interested but tonight's episode of Smallville has got  to be the one single episode the entire series was created for.  It's the famous tale of Clark being visited by the Legion of Super-Heroes from the year 3000.  It's written by Geoff Johns who has me and Kurt's seal of approval...  He writes for DC and has been writing some of their best stuff for the past several years.
And I'll say it..  this season of Smallville, WHILE STILL KINDA SHITTY, is way less shitty than it used to be. Mainly because
a.  no lex luthor
b.  they aren't letting the bad actors speak as much
c. the colors aren't as garish
d. they're actually adhering to the comics a whole lot more
e. they've done away with kryptonite-powered 'baddies-of-the-week'
f.  I still want to bone Allison Mack

SO, if you only ever watch one episode of Smallville, tonight would be  the one to watch.

Ok then. I'll tune in.


I've been knocked down by whatever strain of flu is knocking people down this season. I haven't been to work since Monday, and have been popping advil and ny-quil and been sleeping and sweating for the past 3 days. I ventured out to the store for some dogfood, which sucked whatever energy I had right outta me. Next year, I'm definitely gonna get a flu shot.

It's amazing how bad a person can feel and not be dying.

[Moetown]

I'm going back to work tomorrow no matter what because I'm running out of my state allotment of sick days.

[captqitn]

ickers.  get better.    I've had a yucky head cold for a couple days, but no fevers or aches, just an apparenly unending supply of snot.

I feel bad for my department, i'm making the most disgusting noises back here.

[Just Some Girl]

Thanks, Stereogum, for helping me avoid the worst movie of all time!



(Slow news day.)

[Just Some Girl]

Gawd, my internet connection is unbearably slow today. Arrrrrgh.

I can't decide whether or not to go out into the world to get groceries right now (while the sunshine is making it seem a tad less awfully cold out there), or to wait until my way home from Pilates tonight when I'm tired and it's freezing out (said trip which means only one outing in the cold instead of two). I tell ya, my dilemmas are simply earth-shattering.

Hey, Gocat, the Chicago Horror Society(!!) is presenting B-Movie Madness this weekend. Tagline: B-Movies, Booze and Babes. How could you not go?   

Cause I'll be doing some exciting combination of the following:
1) painting Simon's room
2) finishing a shelf project my younger brother abandoned in our dining room
3) planning M______'s baby shower (thanks bitchy "best friend" of hers who copped out!)
4) buying a car to replace M______'s Kia that died
5) frantically planning sales calls for work so that I'm not part of the next wave of layoffs

[Just Some Girl]

And you can't fit in a night of boozing and bad movies? Pfft. Wuss!

[Just Some Girl]

I'm mostly just rambling to push this bitch to two pages.
