Yesterday, after dropping off my brother at the airport I was really bummed out. Even though he bought me an iPod. What's that about? Come on material posessions! Stop letting me down! You're supposed to make me not feel anything.
Now it's going to take always and forever to convert my albums to the correct format to play with iPods. What's that about? Right? Who were the ad wizards who came up with that one?!
On tuesday at work I made a list of the books I've read(that are fiction and not collections of short stories or plays or anything like that at all. Just novels and such. You know?) and then I rated them on Amazon.com to pass the time and to get better book recommendations. I've read a lot of Stephen King books. What's that about. Seventeen in fact. That's 29.31 percent of the books I listed!
Here are the recommendations it gave that I might consider. Tell me if I should get any of them. :
The house on mango street (Mangos are good. But near the pit they get sour. So cut them up first and eat them with a fork.)
the lord of the flies (Beelzebub is translated into that title, I've read)
crime and punishment
the contortionists handbook (I think it might be clever in some way to use the pages for folding origami)
The acid house (I bet it's about jeans)
Eyrbyggja Saga (What's that about?)
Like shaking hands with God (why do some people spell God as 'G-d'? Is it because they are stupid?)
High Fidelity (based on the hit movie soundtrack)
The Joy Luck Club (Chick Book? I think I've only read one book by a woman and I hated it. 'Atlas Shrugged'. Ayn Rand sucks. Don't read it. Who cares who John Galt is.)
and a bunch of Kurt Vonnegut books which I'm sure are good and a bunch of Stephen King books which I probably won't read.
and now I am going to go make eggs.
