so tired… so tired… (yes, it’s like 4 p.m. – long day – already – no chance i see halftime of the super bowl – which is just a shame considering some old group – oh, wait – it’s the black eyed peas this year – forgot that it’s more contemporary this year – after a few years in the “post-janet jackson, justin timberlake” mess…

so i finished a few books this week…

“usain bolt” – i can’t recall if i blogged about this one last week – but the uk published a book about the world’s fastest man – i wasn’t expecting much so it was a great read – didn’t make me very fast though

“inkspell” – pretty good – got long at the end – glad that baska was killed – was it me, or did that guy have a problem with his knife??? first, he kept opening it all the time – i mean, once, and people will be scared, but if you flash your knife 1,000 times then it sort of gets old and people won’t be scared – then, there was the whole deal that he kept threatening people with it and they kept going “ooh, a knife, i’m scared, let me cave in and do what you want” – i’m thinking, hey, if you haven’t carved anyone in 1,000 pages, then it’s a pretty pathetic knife – but that’s me – but baska was killed so he’s taken care of – next up in “inkdeath,” i’m hopeful that the stupid author of the stupid world that he’d forgotten about will go…  that said though, i’m not in a hurray to start reading that monster of a book…

“the olympian” by brian glanville – really enjoyed this book – 1968 fictional story of a miler who runs competitively for the uk for five years – there were passages that were just dead-on about the experience of running – like one about the fine line between being an athlete and in incredible shape and then having a muscle pull that ends it all – another one about why we love the olympics – the competition – the striving and achieving – the pushing for more and pride that goes into the training – anyway, the book is dated (unlike me:) but it’s a great read – at least, i thought so

operation world – got through india today – lots of girls aborted every year because people want males – sad…

hope your reading is super wonderful – nap time – also known as bed time – for me…
