Coffee: Office coffee

Sometimes, for whatever reason, I don't get to stop by the coffee shop on my way down to school in the morning. Maybe I just don't feel like walking, so I take the bus. Maybe I don't have any cash. At any rate, when this happens, I hope all along that the lady in the department office made coffee, and that if she did, everyone else hasn't already drank it up.

Recommend: It's alright.

Life: Steve "Crocodile Hunter" Irwin

It's been a while since I've seen or heard from him, but his loss ruined my Labor Day, and the Labor Days of millions of others around the world. There's not much more to say. He fought bears and gila monsters and sharks and crocodiles, and died by stingray blade.

Recommend: Rest In Peace, Crocodile Hunter.

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.
