afufle Sorry I haven't been updating, I just have been leading a boring life, or so it seems to me. I started to reread some of my favorite classics, The Fellowship of the Ring, Prisoner of Azkaban (finished) and Goblet of Fire. This because I went and got a bunch of stuff out of storage in the barn.
I sometimes read books starting at the end or middle, and that's sure enough what I started doing with Fellowship and Prisoner. Read to the end of POA, went back to the beginning to the middle. That used to bother the heck out of me that I did that, but now it's just like, so what that's me.
Last month I was headed down the street for a walk, but after just a minute or two, I see Old Friend Tim is coming toward me--with a bouquet of white lilacs. He'd been just staggering back and forth, and insisted he was headed home when I asked whether he was going to visit my bro (John). No, he was going home, and the flowers were for me. Okay, but he was headed for my house, and I away from it. Okay......
Anyway he gave me the flowers and headed for my house again. Poor guy. I don't ever want to have to rely on him for anything ever again, and I don't trust him for a lot of things. But I still enjoy him when he's not shitfaced. I also had a conversation with him about Clarence Thomas and Anton Scalea, the supreme court judges. Thomas is such a jerk, and Scalea, who I'm not that familiar with, is apparently so conservative that even I wouldn't like him.
I'm sure there's more I've been up to, but at any given moment, I guess it's not that exciting. Lol, I actually saw Zoolander a couple weeks ago, got it from the library to watch at Patty's while housesitting. Well, it was funny, one of the stupidest movies I've ever seen. But I laughed.
Seeya!

Date: 2008-07-18 11:27 pm (UTC)As always it's nice to see you post. I do enjoy reading what you post.
As for your friend, I'd take him for what he is worth and whenever he is nice and gives you flowers take them and just enjoy.
I always enjoy going back and reading the Potter books, and other books also. Since I have a lousy memory when it comes to reading it's always like I'm reading them for the first time. Well except Potter because I've read all but the last two over and over. I think I might start with HBP and then read Deathly Hallows. Those two I've only read once.
Hope to see you posting soon!

It really is funny how those classics just never seem to get old. I think Deathly Hallows is my favorite so far. To be honest, when I first heard of the HP book series and how popular it was, I just thought it must be crap. The idea of a boy who is told he is really a wizard seemed WAY too sweet. But it not only started out well, for a book with a fairly common-sounding idea, but it just got better and better and better and better. Grown-up magic, I love it.

Date: 2008-07-22 10:06 pm (UTC)I first heard about Potter when Jo was on the Rosie show, and it intrigued me. I read it and then tried to pass it off to my 16 year old nephew, and he said 'NO WAY!' Well I talked him into it, and he has been a fan since.
Just a bunch of Potter Geeks we are! lol
