OH MY GOD IN HEAVEN IT IS INCREDIBLY HOT IN OUR HOUSE!!!!! It's insane. We're waiting for an estimate for an air conditioner, meanwhile, we bought two evaporative coolers. Point is, Ladies and Jellyspoons, we're gonna have to visit our mommies for a bit this weekend. I figure our house is turning into some sort of sweat lodge, and I for one ain't having any visions, other than a vision of a new air conditioner. Other than that I finally got to see "Amy's Choice". The Doctor Who eppie that's new in America, old news in the UK, which is irritating me because I can't even go onto DeviantArt without seeing some sort of spoiler. Of course I think that's what I get for drawing this and joining a "Doctor Who Art" group:
It's called "I Love Eleven". Check out my DeviantArt Page for more of my crap!!! Anyways it was a pretty good episode, and if you didn't see it don't read this. I guess I liked the idea that Amy wasn't fully admitting to herself that she's not ready to settle down. She was pretty cute pregnant, and Rory was adorable trying to be a good husband. Other than that, a lot of my Whosian pals sort of hyped it up so much that when I actually saw it, I had been waiting for the whole "Amy and the Poncho Boys" joke. But it was the best line ever....
"If we're gonna die, let's die looking like a Peruvian flute band!"
Oh yes, homemade ponchos and cute Time Lords make for a GREAT "Doctor Who Margarita Saturday"!!!
Which brings me, SORT OF to my next topic. I love my Doctor and I tend to get a bit carried away!
I have been reading Sherman Alexie's books for some years now.
Out of all his books, (and I've read nearly all of them) my favourite remains the first I ever read, "Reservation Blues". I picked this book up by chance in our local library and read it all the way through in a couple of days. If you haven't read it, it's so amazing. It's why I love his character Thomas Builds-The-Fire. It's about three Spokane Indian guys, Thomas, Victor, and Junior, who end up possessing the possessed guitar of an old blues man, and start a band called "Coyote Springs" with it. It's amazingly good.
The last two of his books that I read were "Flight", and "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian". "Flight" was an amazing story about a troubled teen who gets to see life through the eyes of several different people, before he commits a bank robbery. I read it in one night.
"Part-Time Indian" was really good and SOOO funny. It's about a boy named Junior (notice a pattern, I'm sure it's not the same Junior) who wants to go to the white school off of his reservation to play basketball and get a better education. Of course he gets a lot of flack from his very angry best friend Rowdy, but he seems to over come it in the end.
One thing about Sherman's books that you have to understand before you read them: He's a very proud Spokane Indian who loves basketball, and Hank Williams. These books feed me in ways other books haven't been able to in a long time. I always wait for the new books. Have been for a long time.
My sis ordered me this one today! I was veryyyyyy happy!! I can't wait to open it. I love new book smell, especially if it's one of his books. I need to get all of his poetry books. So I guess that's it for tonight!! It's nearly 1 am and I need to get to bed for work in the morning.
OH yeah....I'm gonna loose my job. Meh. I'll be okay.
AND NOW THE GRATUITOUS CHRIS ISAAK PICTURE!!
Ahhhh yes, a picture of my LOVE in SWEEEEDEEENN!! AHHH, or was this Finland? I don't remember. NO WAIT! It was Helsinki, Finland. I LOVE YOU SWEETIE!!
HAZ A GOOD NIGHT PIPPLEZ!!!
