so i'm catching up on my purchasing of books. bought invisible monsters by chuck palahniuk for chelsea and i read the first chapter or so before i started feeling weird about reading a book that i bought as a present for someone.
also bought some vonnegut (godbless you, mister rosewater and a man without a country) recently. i got 30 percent off of the vonnegut book and ended up paying about 17 dollars for a new copy at borders (hardcover).
i mainly really want to read a man without a country because of a review i read in the iowa state daily talking about how it was crap, how vonnegut is just a nonsensical old man and he's just writing for himself (duh, idiot, it's his memoirs...) every other review i read about it when it came out was a rave. i guess that is to be compared with my review of antics by interpol where i said that it wasn't worth buying because it was the first album again but with a few interesting points. funny, i downloaded their first album and even own it but haven't listened to it since probably grade 12.
watching old doctor who. matt's golden birthday is soon. hehehehe. finished the mighty boosh. probably the most off the wall show i've ever watched. it's nice being able to find out about these shows.
the 4th was supposed to be a spectacle because of the special olympics, it was kind of a catastrophe and kind of ruined my mood, i don't know why. i was really excited, too.
that's all i have in me right now.
the residents river of crime is reallllly sweeet. "the singing resident" sounds like garrison keillor, which i like. which reminds me of how i want to see that movie. is it out on dvd yet? hmm i don't know.
good day, mates.

prarie home companion, the movie, is still out in theatres. save your money from buying books by checking them out from the library and go see the movie during the day at matinee price.
