My oh my, this is my book of the year. I know it’s a few years old but what a wonderful book. It’s an easy read and the ease with which she flows between narrators/perspectives. Gugol is me except he’s Indian and I’m not. This is a book for misfits. This is a book for those who don’t understand their parents or those who don’t understand their children. This is a great book.

I hated the dialog so I stopped.

Christopher Moore. I think you love him or hate him. I love him. I like his universal themes that victimized women have more strength than they imagine, there are unexplainables, homeless are people too and nerdy guys save the world and get the girl!

This is a wonderful continuation of Bloodsucking Fiends. I liked Bloodsucking Fiends but not as much as some of his others so I didn’t expect much out of this one. I was surprised, this was a great story and has a wonderfully romantic ending. His characters are char-ac-ters. They have wonderful personalities, he understands different types of people and can bring them all to life. There are inside jokes related to his other books. If you like Letterman and Colbert Report with a bit of geeky fantasy I think you will love most anything Christopher Moore has written.

I can’t put my finger on why I love this but I do.

I’ve been watching her for about 6 months (thank God for audioblogs). My wife fell in love with her when we saw her on SNL:www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/. Now, I have the new album…and this deluxe version has a wonderful Zeppelin:www.led-zeppelin.com/ cover.

She should’ve gotten best new artist Grammy:www.grammy.com/GRAMMY_Awards/49th_Show/list.aspx.

I enjoyed this but it will be interesting to see what the movie is like. Idi Amin was not the main character of the story, more of a backdrop. I can see how they could make him more of a main character but it makes me wonder why. Why does the celebrity figure need to be the main character – if that is what they do to the movie. I’ve always loved his acting but after seeing him on Inside the Actor’s Studio Forest Whitaker is my new hero. I can’t wait till this movie comes close.

I went to Tower during their last week and was hoping to buy all four volumes of this set but #2 was the only one left.

I jumped right in and with my regular style of sporadic reading I finished in about a week. Like most graphic novels, comics & manga you can read it with or without relation to other volumes. This was fun. It’s a strange mix of Siddhartha, & manga, & disney. It is contemporary and ancient. I can see why Tezuka became the master.

I can’t wait to get the others.

Stunning!

Spike pulls off an amzing feat with this 4 hours of riveting testimony and footage of pre, during and post Katrina New Orleans. He exposes so many flaws in the way government handles “potential” problems. It’s disturbing how slow and bass ackwards the government (local, state & federal) can be.

Buddy Miller came into Davis-Kidd while he was recording this record with Solomon…it was the first I’d heard of it but I was immediately excited because Bidddy’s music and (his last record in partictular) is SOOOOO good.

Now I’ve picked up, I think it came out about 3 weeks ago, and DAMN! This is what a country record is supposed to be like. Solomon sounds great and the song choices are spectacular. Starting off with a simple version of Tom T. Hall’s “That’s how I got to Memphis” moving to the rocking Jim Lauderdale song, “Seems Like You’re Gonna Take Me Back” and an insane version of Springsteen’s “Ain’t Got You”.

OK so that’s as far as I’ve gotten so far but this is the big boss record! Thank you Buddy Miller & Solomon Burke.
