cd: whiskey on a sunday

this is a great and intimate view of the most rocking Irish rock band( and no I am not talking about u2) it is an hour an half long I think did not really care about the time. also a good bonus it comes with a cd of old and rare songs.
I recommend watching with a pint or guinness or even whiskey!!!

Book : "V." by Thomas Pynchon

I did it. I finished this book. It took some work to do. Rereading sentences. Making a list of words to look up, references to research. I still mean to read about the Peking to Paris auto race. But I got through. For at least half of the book, I had no idea what, really, I was supposed to be getting out of this. "What is going on?" I would ask myself. But I made it to the end.

Recommend? Quotes on the back of this book: "This work may well stand as one of the very best works of the century," and "Leaves the imagination spent and the mind reeling." I agree with both. I'd put it in my top five, if I had a top five. Maybe I do...

Movie: Tallasomething Nights

Well, it was actually pretty funny, downright hysterical at moments, but something about the timing in some scenes was really off and things that should have been funny just weren't quite funny. Dunno.

Recommend: Comedy has been crap lately. This one is actually somewhat amusing, if on an infantile and repetetive level.
