Just a quickie before I have to rush out to the cinema (No, not THAT one, at least not yet - I'll prob do my piece in the morning, but this has had some very thumbs-down reviews here.)
ReplyDeleteCan you actually read in bed? That's something I could never get used to. Far too uncomfy, twisting this way and that - and anyway reading before sleeping only makes falling off to sleep even harder, I find. But good for you if you can manage it.
Books - Scottoline, Pastis, Watterson? All unknown names to me, 'fraid.
But re-reading GWTW? - Ah! Now you're talking! At least 5 times so far - and I'm not done!
Sorry, short 'n sweet - but GOTTA GO!
Byeeeeee for now!
heh heh heh, a "quickie". :)
Deletemy bed is comfy and I have a special high backrest pillow that is wonderful. it helps me to relax and fall asleep better than any drug.
I will put weblinks on the author's names so you can do research. scottoline is a philly girl who was a lawyer before she discovered she liked to write murder mysteries better than arguing in a courtroom.
ta! kiss your pussies for me!
Thanks for the web-links. A.M. Will explore when current distractions subside. (Don't ask - please!)
DeletePussy-kissing? But, having just fed them, they're stinking of...... yes, FISH ! Oh well, since you want it I'll just have to go down on them. So, here's for Queen and country!
bwhahahahaha! in that case, gentle petting will suffice!
DeleteToo late, A.M. All done now. - cold, wet noseys and all!
DeleteOh, and they send their greetings to your gang too.
meredith and nyla say MEOW to their cousins across the pond!
DeleteReceived with 'meow-ey' thanks, A.M.
DeleteHow could I forget Calvin and Hobbes!
ReplyDeletedon't know, honey. but when I need a laugh lift, it's calvin & hobbes!
Delete"never read, waste of time. that's why there's free internet porn!"
ReplyDeletehee hee
YOU KNOW IT, baybee! why read the printed word when you can watch some good old M2M action! hee hee
DeleteI totally miss "Calvin and Hobbes." They were the best.
ReplyDeleteWhen our son was about seven he used to read them... until he starting imitating Calvin's behavior. (No joke.) Then we'd say, "Calvin's going on vacation for a while."
:-)
OMB. interesting. I like comics that make you think: C&H, doonesbury, pearls before swine, peanuts. the rest of them can take a hike (family circus, blondie, etc.).
DeleteHey wait a minute! Blonde??? I did a whole series of sleep disorders lectures on Dagwood! I even corresponded with Dean Young about his characters. Mr. Young in no uncertain terms told me that he could not put Dagwood in a sleep disorders clinic (as I had suggested) because if Dagwood could sleep, then he wouldn't be able to trying to think up new gags for Dagwood!
ReplyDeleteDavid
"blondie" wore itself out years ago, IMHO. same gags week in and week out. same with "family circus", "dennis the menace", "the lockhorns", "andy capp", etc.
DeleteI used to like "get fuzzy", but that has become so one-gag-boring I pass it by.
I cried when "calvin and hobbes" retired.
Good evening!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of comics, are you familiar with "Simon's Cat?"
Check it out at "www.simonscat.com."
They're really funny, both the books and the animated shorts. You can tell that this guy really understands cats.
YES, a british cartoon! love it!
Deletemy meredith is smack up against me right now, loudly purring her head off. so I HAVE to reach over and scratch her belleh...
Hey Girl!
ReplyDeleteI know I know I have been gone way to long. Spo reminded me how much I miss you!
HUGZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww shit! (blushes)
Deleteyes, you HAVE been gone too long, but I am too polite to bring it up (NOT).
I told spo to give you a big ole hug from me; spo says I give great hugs.
drop back here more often, dammit! are you coming to philly any time soon?
I have "Trail of Blood" by Lisa Black (a murder mystery, not so bad), if you want to borrow it.
ReplyDeletehullo zeebah neighbah! sounds good to me!
DeleteI lament the passing of reading viz. namely my own. Time to get cracking and read some books !
ReplyDeleteI KNOW! there are only so many hours in a day, and work eats up 8 of them for me. sleeping and everything else eat the other 16. pity.
DeleteBTW - It's not stealing when I ask you to take it!
