writing my First Exam paper.  this new leather desk chair is fantastic - my little legs can sit cross-legged comfortably.  if i sit normally, my feet don't even touch the ground.  i feel like a  kid who snuck into some CEO's office.  or like that mean guy in Inspector Gadget, i think it is?  who you never actually see because of the big chair?  i ( Read more... )

"A little girl without a doll is almost as unfortunate and just as impossible as a woman without children."  -Victor Hugo, Les Miserables.

 "A dry eye goes with a dead soul."  - Les Miserables, Victor Hugo.

I am barely even beginning (page 93) this 1,500 page beast, and i come across this.  Many a beautiful line in this book.  I must say, it's a real page-turner.

after a fabulous day with the ladies - Coach outlet, sushi at Oto-Ya in Lambertville, Borders - i skipped bjj training (ugh, rain kills motivation) and snuggled with friends for Crappy Movie Night.  tonight's selection - Garbage Pail Kids Movie from 1987.  amazing.  includes an accidental crotch-shot, a la Sharon Stone, done by the main character, ( Read more... )

 "Women were meant to suffer; no wonder they asked for constant declarations of love."  -Charles Bukowski, Post Office.

typing up references now, and i came across one Funkenstein!  made me think of Parliament, of course.  this man is technically Dr. Funkenstein (I can't imagine that he doesn't have his PhD).

let it be known that ( Read more... )

yesterday, i purchased THE PLEASURES OF THE DAMNED, a book of bukowski poetry.  now i wonder why i didn't listen to Don 5 years ago, and get into Bukowski.  Ham on Rye has been sitting on my shelf for years, unread.

the poems aren't too much for my little brain.  and they make me laugh.  and they make me think that perhaps THESE poems were written ( Read more... )
