It's rainy today.
I was tempted for half a second to call in sick (something I never do, even when I should) and read all day. I had the house to myself last night, as Eric was helping Melissa move, and planned on spending the entire evening reading The Raw Shark Texts while drinking a glass of wine. I was all set up, I even had the floor couch! And then Peter called to tell me he was coming over because he was bored. So he did and we watched Children of Men. I had watched it once before and was well aware of the startling explosion that occurs near the beginning of the movie. I was watching, glass of red wine in hand, debating... I should put this wine down... no, I'm ready for this... I won't be surprised... EXPLOSION!!! Crap, why is my shirt now soaked with wine? I'm too fucking jumpy.
After the movie, Peter wanted to cut the intensity with a little Rock of Love. It happened to be on. What a horrible, horrible show.
That, my friends, concludes the evening with my brother-in-law post.
I did manage to read the first two chapters of Raw Shark. I want more!
