Reading, Flattery, and Film-going

I've had an impossibly media-free week - the only war-mention being the text message on my phone from jocelyn on wednesday night, I've not been in front of my computer or a television set until just now. Naz mentioned there was some sort of mega-protest in Chicago sometime in the past few days, I've not found the time to sit down and read all the warblogging/protestpublishing going on, but I think I'll just skip it and continue pursuing my own personal war against unemployment. Perhaps I'll get that riveting job I've had my eye on for the last few years...

Speaking of Naz, he's been such a bad influence on me these past few weeks, what with the fingersmithing and the book-buying....I'm thoroughly enjoyingThe Slate Diaries while feeling twinges of guilt for the sake glass...I'm happy about the book recommendation, however - being a dedicated reader of personal publishings, I like the handy book-format of celebrity week-long blogs. It certainly came in handy when I was stuck underground yesterday for an hour while waiting for the blue line - I shuffled between that, The Sexual Life of Catherine M, a peachpit dhtml how-to, That's True of Everybody, and Hello to the Cannibals. What with those and Rebel without a Crew I'm wishing I had a cheque for every book I read this week - I'd be able to afford my move back into the city....

and I wish I had more to say about Bend It Like Beckham other than the secondary female soccer-playing lead was so amazingly gorgeous, it hurt to look at her perfect bony self. she reminded me of j3s, actually....
