i could avenge my recent loss to you at scrabble, i suppose.

(sigh) it's going to be tough without a computer at home, isn't it?

ha - we should set up some sort of scrabble wager here on the blog. Someone must have some faith in me! Right?

Baking! Cakes and cookies. Mmmmmmmm.

Or then there's always drinking.

You guys could hobble to a movie and sit in the back row and make out, and then come home and dry hump! Wouldn't it be fun to be a teenager again?

Hehehe - dry hump! What a turn of phrase:)

My book reccommendation is The Butcher Boy by Patrick McCabe. It's kinda psycho but if you read it with an Irish accent all the weird stuff is of course quite acceptable...in a mad leprechaunish sort of way;)

I'm currently reading a book written for the thirteen year old girl crowd, so it's doubtful my recommendation would be welcome.

We were so terrified of life without a computer, we made it about three days before we went an bought another. lol Sad, sad, sad. I hope they can fix yours.

And no, I don't have any faith that you could beat her at scrabble again. :o)

"The Time Traveller's Wife" but it includes loss in some of the story but it was a good read overall. Might not be dude applicable.

If you like sci-fi:
Illium - Dan Simmons
Slant - Greg Bear
Noir - KW Jeter <-- might be hard to find.

Can you tell i'm a sci-fi junkie?

who is that, too cowardly to own up to your lewd suggestion? if anyone's going to be popping out ping pong balls, it will have to be justin, popping them out of his heinie. the only thing i'm interested in popping out right now is babies.
