new favorite stuff

Aside from Grey's Anatomy, Brothers & Sisters, Desperate Housewives and Heros (yes, I know I watch a lot of TV), one of my new favorite shows is The Class. Maybe I miss the gay jokes with Will & Grace gone or something, but the dark humor always catches me a little off guard. The last Thanksgiving episode was pretty funny - check it out on the website for a few laughs.

So, yes, I watch entirely too much TV (and college basketball season has started, so that won't change - it's November, but it's starting to feel a whole lot like March already). But, I did actually start reading a bit lately. The last 2 books I read were:
Goodbye Tsugumi - picked this up at a Barnes & Noble bargain table, not something I do ever, but I'm glad I did. I might check out a few more books by the author - Banana Yoshimoto (unusual name, maybe that's what intrigued me). Not sure how to describe the book - honest, thoughtful, but it's up for grabs if anyone is interested.
The Known World - I think I actually heard about this book when the author was on Oprah. If not, at least that's why I thought I'd heard of it. I guess it took me a while to pick up who all the characters were - since I kept getting only a few pages read at a time, but after I got over that ADD hump, it was very interesting. Black slave owners, the slaves owned by them. Also up for grabs.

Need to decide on a new pda phone too. Been so busy & scatter-brained with the March of Dimes 5K volunteering, that I dropped my pda yesterday & it broke. Maybe I'll ductape the battery in just to be funny...probably the last thing I need to be doing is worrying about trying to learn how to use a new phone, but I was going to get a new pda phone soon anyway.

In need of a little laugh? I find myself back at these ads. I just can't help laughing, even though I've seen them all several times. pc is so cute and lovable - not what the mac people had in mind, I'm sure. But enjoy my geek humor.

Oh, and for some universal grins. This is on the wall in the Brier Creek Brazillian churasscaria steakhouse:
Yeah! Last laugh is on us! We just have to figure it out....
