So odd. They've been advertising his latest "we have wings" book on Dodger radio broadcasts. First time I'd ever heard of him, so I looked up the book. It sounds really dreadful. Also, it's supposed to be for young adults? That makes the ads for it during baseball games even more puzzling.
JZ is totally me with regard to
Bridges,
except with curlier hair and a cuter wardrobe.
Or, Robin is me, only in a sunnier neighborhood with a spiffy new free car every other week.

After reading PAtterson's flying kids book
YES. That was the book.
I'm sensing a theme. Why, you ask? My Dad LOVES the flying-kids book. No, really. He told me all about it, and I thought he made it up.
And he's the one trying to get me to read Angels & Demons and the DaVinci Code.
At least his taste is consistent.
Patterson's nursery-rhymed books are interesting (Kiss The Girls, Along Came A Spider, etc). And then there's crack.
ita is me, here.
They aren't good, but hard to stay away from.
And you can make Morgan Freeman say the dumbest crap in the world and make it make sense.(Don't tell George Lucas. He'll make Freeman not so free and cage him at Skywalker Ranch.)
Have people been watching the production diaries at kongisking.net? Because the newest one is cracking my shit up.

I love that they're torrenting the diaries -- not just legal usage of the technology, but legitimately using it to share video.
I just finished Showtime's
Reefer Madness
. Now I have to figure out how to use my dusty and long unused VCR so I can tape it and show it to my friends. I loved it.
