what's good? friday!

Just took dog for walk, and we conversated.
Not really. But you can imagine if we did. How would that go I wonder?
I know what I would say if I was a dog - I'd just tell it like it is, and take my chances.
haha

Easter's in 2 days, and yes, I've already had 2 boxes of Peeps (yea for birthdays).

This week:
Kentucky beat Kansas by 8, I had them winning by 9 in my bracket.
I subbed twice, once for P.E., and watched kids murder each other in dodgeball (hilarious).
Went to the gym 5 straight days. Went to the library 3 of those days.
Oh, and I went broke putting gas in my car...practically true!

So I hope we can be ready for this summer coming up (spring here is so short). Better make sure the pool is all ready to go.
Bye for now.

just too c - double o - l



Today was my 367th (unofficially) sub job. Sophomore english - Much Ado About Nothing, Junior english - Great Gatsby. Teacher out for pet dog's medical procedure. My procedure was keeping the status quo in the classroom. And coach had a nice bonus check for me, from helping out during the season with the gamebook, etc.

Still going to the gym regularly. Not a schwarzenegger yet, by any means, but I like it. My roommates head to San Fran for 4 days, in about 48 hrs. or so. Looks like the 'domestic creature' stays with a relative for that duration. Nice!

I was on a Peter O'Toole kick this week. One night I did "Beckett" (w/ him and Richard Burton, 1964?). Then I did "The Lion in Winter" (w/ him and Katherine Hepburn, 1968?). No more for me, thanks anyway.

Yes, we had a confirmed kill of our first scorpion, on the front porch, one of these past nights. It seems the lack of cool weather is leading to their early arrival. Needless to say Bug-Man was scheduled right away (he found a few more).

I know not so many details of you, my fellow readers, though I extend my best wishes as we head into what I like to call the best time of the year...2012 version.

a little Lonesome Dove, on 'fire'

Yes, so,
scooped me up one of those Kindle Fire tablets...and...
felt inclined to put up an edition of the Larry McMurtry classic novel.
I just got done with the dvd version and have to say I really needed a hanky. I was curious to see if the actual book itself could produce the same effects or not.
movie=good 6 hr. investment
book=???

*(the tablet=so far so good)
