Monday, February 16, 2009 - Holiday schedules; So. Much. Tempura; Crooked Little Vein; Adrien Brody's phone number; To Kill A Moulin Bird

It was a stat holiday here today, though I still had to go to work since my company has an American holiday schedule. It's kind of hard to muster up the motivation to really get down to work when everyone else you know has the day off. Also, went to an all you can eat sushi place. I mentioned before that I'm not the biggest sushi fan, so for the most part I abstained from that side of things, but the all you can eat menu did include lots of tempura, and various other dishes. Three hours later, and I'm still feeling the effects. Agh.

Blazed right through Crooked Little Vein on Saturday; it was one hell of a ride. The plot is just ridiculous, following a down and out private eye who's given the task of retrieving the other US Constitution, full of alien technology and meteor fragments, that'll save the corrupted morals of the current American landscape. The book attempts a commentary on sexual fetishism and how it has gone mainstream; I'm not sold on it being successful in this facet, but it didn't matter that much to me, since the rest of the book is so off-the-wall and enjoyable to read. I'll leave you with a few choice quotes from the back cover: "This book ate my soul." - Joss Whedon. "Stop it. You're frightening me." - William Gibson.

Keywords of the Day: "telephone number adrien brody". Yeah, Adrien and me go way back. I'll hook you up with him when you hook me up with Jessica Alba. "to kill a moulin bird by harper lee chapter notes". Trying to cheat on a paper when you don't even know the name of the book = bad idea. When it's a book that everyone knows the name of = worse idea.
