Quotes of the Day!

“In his dreams he was either saving them from aliens or he was returning to the neighborhood, rich and famous – It’s him! The Dominican Stephen King! – and then Marisol would appear, carrying one each of his books for him to sign. Please, Oscar, marry me. Oscar, drolly: I’m sorry, Marisol, I don’t marry ignorant bitches. (But then of course he would.)”

The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, by Junot Diaz

I kept telling myself I’d read a particular book which wasn’t necessarily fun but it’d be good for me to read. Instead I am reading Homeland by R.A. Salvatore – a total nerd book about an elf. Heck yes. I’m saying this because the character above, Oscar, also liked to escape in books and daydreamed of being a fantastic author. That Oscar Wao book is crazy, but I enjoyed it.

“I’m not racist, ok? I hate racism! I hate it more than anything! Except maybe Jewish people. And Mexicans. And minorities.”

Mel Gibson

Quotes of the Day!

“I also told the students that, for the sake of humanity’s future, I hoped that they were all sterile.”

A Confederacy of Dunces, an Ignatius J. Reilly quote

“In fact we agreed we would stop using any form of birth control and let God decide how many children we would have.”

– From the Duggar family* website? I don’t know if this website is real or a joke – and that’s a bad sign when something you care about may accidentally be mistaken for a hoax or a prank. Is his name really Jim Bob? Call me close-minded, but I have a hard time taking that name seriously.

*They’re the folks with I think 19 kids. 19 kids. That’s sick.

Anyhow. On this weird message – have a good weekend everybody? (Go SMU, Go Army!)

Quotes of the Day!

“Oh, you make me knit the brows of my very soul and cogitate.”

Sons and Lovers

Vladimir: Now? … (Joyous.) There you are again … (Indifferent.) There we are again … (Gloomy.) There I am again.

Waiting for Godot

This week at work I smashed my brain against a problem quite a bit and was not able to solve it. For a while I thought I had it solved, and I was all set. Then I told the fellas about my solution and they pointed out that it was a “kluge.” (My mom didn’t know that word – I’m not sure how common it is.)

Sons and Lovers has some great lines – and the one I have above I really love.

Anyhow – have a good weekend everybody!!
