Literature
What a day, people, WHAT a day. Non-stop I tell you. A few new books have been added to the Franktuary coffee table. 1) The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck – a must read, doubles as a “Where’s Waldo” type book2) The Stella Awards – a book about frivolous law suits3) Eat the Rich – just trust me and read it Money Secrets, by Dave Barry, may be arriving soon. Reading any or all of these works has been known to create the impression of a shorter passage of time between ordering and being served food. Just keep them in the store!
Celebrity is as Celibrity Does
Since it has become popular for the press to name celebrity couplings with a single fused label, such as “Brangelina” or “Bennifer,” I have decided that it is time for celibrities to answer in kind. They should do this by naming their own children the exact label the press has given them. Since celibrities like to choose out-of-the-box names for their children anyway, I don’t think they’d be opposed to this concept. If a certain celebrity duo were to have more than one baby, the proud parents could simply inverse the name they gave their first child. For example, “Angerad” or “Jenjamin.” After that, each additional child should be named using the already existing names on an alternating basis with a...
Bookcrossing
Today I’m here to tell you about a very interesting website, www.bookcrossing.com. The site is used by a network of people who enjoy reading books. Users can register a specific copy of a book on the site so that it is given a unique tracking number. When a bookcrossing member is done reading said book he “releases it into the wild.” Someone happened to leave a bookcrossing book in Hot D***a, and now I’m reading it. It’s called “The Ha-Ha.” You’ll just have to check the site to see where I release it when I’m done. Right now there are approximately 20 books released in the Pittsburgh area. I’ve noticed that in Toronto there are over 1000. I hope to visit Toronto in July. Wouldn’t it be...
Good Morning, Chicago!
I’ve always wanted to write that. I hope someone out there in the MIDWEST reads this. I’m also hoping to count how many times I sneeze in 2006. You can count along with this blog! Look for an ever increasing number at the end of some of these entries. Last night, I was at something called a “cell group.” I’ve never figured out why it’s called a “cell group.” Really, it has absolutely nothing to do with terrorism or prison, I swear. It’s a group of people from my church who meet on a weekly basis. There are actually cell groups all over Pittsburgh. Who knew!?!? Anyway, the topic of Wicca came up, and I recalled a Wiccan with whom I went to high school. She actually went to elementary school with me...
Timonium, MD
I’m reading a book right now, “The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck.” Alright, you got me, it’s a graphic novel. Okay, fine, it’s a comic book. I’m reading a big fat Disney comic book right now. Nonetheless, it’s quite insightful. Scrooge McDuck is a role model of mine, for sure. And not just because he became a most successful entrepreneur. Anyway this BOOK I’m speaking of was published in Timonium, Maryland. It just so happens that I once saw the players of the Timonium Dinner Theater perform “Camelot.” My salad was as much soup as it was salad, and the acting was not good. Nonetheless, friends, that is not my point. The fact is that I once saw a performance of “Camelot” in Timonium,...
