It has taken me a while but I finally have plowed through my latest bit of books. I’ve also begun to attack two others. The S.O. dragged me to an estate sale after my sister left Saturday morning. She and her friend were moving on westward-as they move out on their yearly “escape trip” from… Continue reading Books and Stuff

How many have you seen?
I’ve seen 62. Of the 75 movies every man should see.
Star Trek
I went to see the Star Trek movie tonight. Would have seen it this weekend-but we went to the lake instead. Now that I have seen the movie-I think the lake was the better deal. WARNING! PLOT SPOILERS AHEAD! Here is the bottom line up front: if you did not know much about the Star… Continue reading Star Trek
Book report…..
I’m staying away from a lot of my favorite blogs for a while. The fact that they have gone so totally gaga over Gidget Palin is just too much. And I’ve given up trying to find nude pictures of her on the internet-so that’s a dead end hobby too. I’ll have stick with my old… Continue reading Book report…..

Although purportedly existing to support “the warfighter”, so many of its… Continue reading Something sinful……..

Oops!
On Saturday I went back to my little book store. Can you tell I was in a very introspective mood when I bought 3 more books ( Like I’ll have time to read them…). The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch (This had me about ready to cry while I was sitting in the Smugglers Inn… Continue reading Oops!
Quotable……
Spike has some good movie reviews up, ( what else are you going to do in Bangkok when you have to be a good boy?) its worth a look. Priceless is this quote: Ping Pong is not the Macarena. It takes patience. She is like a fine, well-aged prostitute… it takes years to learn her… Continue reading Quotable……
The challenge of surfing the internet………
Is finding good quality, free (e.g. no credit card info required), porn videos. Fortunately for us all, FOX News has come to the rescue: Fair and balanced baby!
