Today while reading Richard Scarry's Best Stories Ever, I learned that 'spring brings babies' so there it is, the mystery is cleared up.

He talks and talks and talks about whatever pops into his mind first, telling himself that he is building relationships but he confuses and misdirects people to the point that old wounds are reopened. I've got to keep the clown in a box.

Vindication! Finger-pointing had started over some missing paperwork the district needed. I did not pop off when they started blaming me, giving instead enough info for everyone to discover the truth on their own. I was thanked for my patience yesterday. Maybe it is possible to glide above the fray.

Way to go, Griff! Mellow man, mellow...

That'll be about a $10 saving.

Went to see this last night for a fundraiser. The movie wasn't bad, but it didn't do the book justice and missed the point somewhat. There were several key parts left out.

SPOILER ALERT...

-The scene in the bathroom where she realises that she wants to get out of the life that she has created but doesn't know how and that a solution doesn't present itself quickly-in fact not at all.
-The key effects that meditation had her life and resolving the mess that she'd had a huge part in creating.
-The general fart-arsing around and cultural stuff associated with giving money to the Balinese woman to buy a house.
-The fact that she said 'no' several times to Felipe before they got together.

Has anyone who hasn't read the book seen the movie? If so, what did you think?

Watched Die Hard 2 for the first time last night. It was horrible, I can't keep going over it in my mind to find new holes/inconsistencies in it.

oh dear, commiserations on your shitty day, casi ......or was it just after midnight when you posted?

casimendocina · 10-18-2010, 03:16 AM

Think it must have been getting into delirium time...but I looked again and I still think it's funny.

But then again, the "curry gate" incident still cracks me up 12 years down the track.

My money situation is making very very depressed. Being sick doesn't help the depression. When I get depressed I shutdown.

MTP, how are you going a few days on?
