You'll never believe me sooo....

.... why don't you find out for yourself.

So after reading what I posted yesterday, not the bike stuff, the talkie stuff, I've gone in a made some edits. I apologize for being... well, a dick. I was talking to the guy fixing the washer as I posted and apparently the good humoured ribbing I intended to give Mike and the basketball guys actually came up as prickish talk. Damn these blogs and their... internetness. Anyway, I put in some edits in a weak attempt at clarification.

I have been offered a job, not the medical sales job I was looking for, but something I may take anyway to do in the meantime. I will talk about it to you all when I can to see your opinions on the matter... basically I have trouble taking a job knowing full well I could and would leave in a month... but at the same time it might be 8 or 10 months before something else comes, hence the desire for outside opinions.

I finished reading The Count of Monte Cristo, very good of course it is a classic so... I guess you'd expect it to be good. Once again I was blown away by how much a movie could change a book... absolutely nothing alike. I remember Jason telling me as much, but I still enjoyed the movie, it was also a good story just not as good as the book. I must go buy more books today, I have nothing to read. I'm actually planning on embarking on a journey through some utter trash as literature goes... the subway books except in this case it will be the crazy huge shark and other sea creatures books. Yes.. put a dinosaur or a friggen huge sea creature into a book or movie and I will come. It's my guilty pleasure and don't get all uppity with me, I just finished Monte Cristo and before that Moby Dick (well... that is a giant sea thing, but they call it a classic... and if it's good enough for "they" then by god, it's good enough for me) so this means I've earned some mindless dribble to read for a bit, the brain needs candy too! In case you're wondering I'll be picking up something called MEG by Steven Alten... about a Megalodon (huge ass great white shark essentially, died out about - well there's debate, roughly 50,000 to 500,000 years ago) that somehow survived and is of course eaten stuff. Notice that doubles the huge shark AND dinosaur guilty pleasures. This Alten guy has more books like this one so I'll check out some other ones and the other is... Benchley's Jaws. I've wanted to read this for awhile, liked the movie, but from what I've heard this may be a rare case where a movie outdoes a book. Of course considering the content of the book this shouldn't really be a surprise. Jaws ain't no Illiad or Monte Cristo. Anyway, I'm reading my trash and then eventually getting to the Da Vinci Code, although that's kinda trash too but it's gooder trash (trash allows poor language, it's part of it's charm). Apparently there's a illustrated version of the book with the actual pictures to aid in the story telling, I might pick that one up to get the full effect.
