Unflattering Pants

Ah, I don't really know what I'm going to end up typing this time around, but we're just going to roll with it. If you're not down with this, check back later and there might be a new post, but this is all that there is going to be at the moment.

Dirty Dave cooked up a wonderful spaghetti bolognese last night. It was terrific. It's a dish that he's been practicing for a long time now, but he's got it down pat. Some people may suggest that he cheats because he uses something from a bottle, but I don't care. The end justifies the means. I think that it might even be reasonably good for you as he puts in lots of vegetables. Although last night he could have put in some more mushrooms. I think that he forgot.

I'm reading a couple of books at the moment. One that I'm reading is the book that caused a lot of controversy on Oprah earlier this year, A Million Little Pieces. It's by James Frey. Even though it's not autobiographical, it's still an interesting story. It can be a little bit annoying though. He has this Habit. Where he has really short Sentences. And gives random nouns capital letters. And. He has this Habit. Where he repeats Phrases. Again and Again. That's okay though, everyone has a style and that's his. I can forgive him for the lying because everyone lies from time to time, right? And knowing that it's not quite historically correct makes it that bit more believable, if that makes sense? I mean, the character that he creates in the story is so over the top I wouldn't have bought it. But yeah, it's been good to see what the controversy is about.

The other book that I'm reading is one that I've read before but had lost for a while. I rediscovered on the weekend. I started reading it because I'd left the James Frey book at work. It's called Porno and it's by Irvine Welsh. I have read most of his books and I have thoroughly enjoyed all of them. Part of the joy is trying to understand what is written on the page because alot of it is written phonetically in the Scottish argot. Sometimes I have to say certain phrases out loud to try and figure out what is being said. Ken? I recommend Porno, but only after you've read both Trainspotting and Glue as there are characters that cross over between the two.

I'm off to the movies tonight. I'm going to see Thank You For Smoking. I think that it looks good. I hope that it is.

I was given a rosebush yesterday by one of the parents at the centre. I thought that it was a very thoughtful gift. I've just got to try and find a suitable place to plant it. I don't think that it could hack being at the centre. Only the hardiest of plants stand a chance there.

Have you heard the new Razorlight album? It's pretty enjoyable. Plan B is great too.
