So, Funny Friday? Is it going to be a THING?
Don't we bloggers LOVE our things?
(she says with a totally straight face knowing how bad it sounds)
First up today?
It is Kim's Birthday. And this is NO JOKE. Kim is one of the most kind, considerate people I know and I am proud to call her my friend. Please go over there and bombard her with birthday wishes. Go ahead. I'll wait. (you ARE coming back, aren't you?) You DID go, right? Bombarding takes alot of time and effort. :)
Secondly:
I wanted to have a blog April Fool's joke today. But I'm plum out of creativity.
Here's my ideas, all nixed:
~quitting blogging: so obvious really
~I'm really a man: hey, it could happen
~I am getting a divorce: It's kind of cruel, I couldn't say it
Not a one of them funny.
I admit it.

While I am being so random (perhaps it's only in my brain)
how about a bit of movie and book chat?
Movies I have seen lately:
~Big Night On the recommendation of Norma. I loved it. I especially loved the last scene which had no speaking at all for quite some time.
~Bewitched Being a huge Bewitched fan from way back, I had to see this one. I liked it. It was an amusing movie, not one I'd rush to see again. I did not LOOOVE it. I did not hate it. It was enjoyable.
~Joyeux Noel I liked this sappy movie very much. Gives me hope that even the enemy are people just like us.
Books
~The Miracle Life of Edgar Mint Even though this book felt a bit long in the middle (a bit too much torturing and bullying in great detail for me) I ended up loving this book. Author Barry Udal's style is one that takes a bit of getting used to (he shifts between tense but it works) and reminds me of a cross between Annie Proulx (The Shipping News) and John Irving who is one of my favorite author's of all time.
~Empire Falls by Richard Russo. This is one of those books that you hate to see end. I feel a bit lost without having it as part of my day. I wish it extened on a bit more in time, I would have loved to see where the characters ended up.
No jokes here. Move along.....
