Avoid Overtime, Learn To Shoplift.

Nov 17, 2008 09:36

Which was my advice to one of the women at work after this conversation:

Her: I've been here since 9pm.
Me : You taking overtime is not my fault.
Her: Yeah, but this way I can afford to put some diced hotdogs into my Kraft Dinner.
Me : You should learn to Shoplift.
Her: :-O

I blame Grant Morrison for this, I read three of his graphic novels in the last week, which was: Sabastian O, Kill Your Boyfriend, and The Filth. I was honestly surprised with The Filth, when it first came out the characters bothered me so much that I didn't pick up the series. Turns out that it was a pretty good romp, save for a couple bits here and there that didn't need to be within that story.
I'm also reading Jonathan Swift's 'Gulliver's Travels' quite sarcastic, he must have been an angry gentleman, much like George Carlin, rest his soul.

Feeling very powerful today, especially after reading my tarot today that basically stated that I am the master of my domain. There is strife in the immediate future, some kind of argument. I'm hoping that it has nothing to do with Ebay, that would really upset me. Though this should not be the case since the cards mention that a project of mine has been completed and although Tibbles could fall under that, I've a feeling that the story is going to go through a few more revisions. I ended up liking the story after it was completed, some elaboration on certain parts would improve it drastically.

Anything else? I am going to start compiling the next ten books to read, since I'm done The Yellow Wallpaper, Gravity's Rainbow and am working on Gulliver's Travels. Currently I'm looking to pick up:

Equus
The Story of O
A Boy's Own Story (Thanks to Chris Goodwin for pointing this one out)

Should finish the pile of books that I have already, there must be twenty of them laying about, awaiting perusal. Different books for different situations.

FELDON'S WRITERS BLOCK: Edit Educating Mr. Tibbles and do some more work on Rosy Material before starting work on That Accursed Mr. Roost (working title).
