I am sitting here listening to the NEW Me First and the Gimmee Gimmees. The new one!! Take A Break. Ain't No Sunshine, I Believe I Can Fly, Mona Lisa, NOthing Compares 2 U, Natural Woman.

Hee. I am thoroughly enjoying this. Too much fun.

I am also reading a new book that finally came back in to the store. Trysts: A Triskaidecollection of Queer and Weird Stories by Steve Berman. Nice. Dark, Quirky. A couple of first paragraphs back

From Stormed and Taken in Prague

Would it help to tell how haunted this city is? Walk the quiet, lonely streets and listen. Soft sighs and sobs and whispers hidden in the sound of a footfall, the drip of rain, the rustle of cloth. Each building wears a patina created of smoke and acid rain and simply too many years left standing.

From Cries Beneath the Plaster

Joseph dipped his hands once more nto the bucket, enjoying the sticky warmth coating his skin. Even at night the studio captured the late summer heat, and the sweat rolled down his face and bare chest to mingle with the crimson stains on his flesh.

Dark full of the supernatural and gothicity. I should so be listening to Patrick O'Hearn's music while reading this except I think I'd freak myself out.

And, during slow times at work I perused The New Joy of Gay Sex: Updated with illustrations by Joe Phillips. Eh. The articles were nicely done, informative and entertaining. The pictures just didn't seem to be up to Mr. Phillip's normal standards. Pure porn, yes, but B/W sketches, not the clean artwork I'm used to. I really liked the artwork from the second edition.

Yes, we read porn at work. We find the stuff scattered throughout the store, usually in Kids or religion, and we check em out. Taschen puts out some damn fine stuff. Damn weird stuff,also.

Hmmm. Shall have a film festival tomorrow for Ms. Hepburn's passing. Lion In Winter, Philadelphia Story, African Queen and if I can work up the courage A Long Day's Journey Into Night (that on always takes it out of me).

Bringing Up Baby! ok, sorry, just always got such a kick out of that one.
Anyway....when I worked at the library I was always amazed at the placed we found teh erotica , because, you know, public library, can't call it porn

It's always amusing to see what it's hidden _with_ as it's rarely by itself. There's always a stack of other stuff.

gah, I know those words!

I'm trying for the life of me to remember which came first finding out about this book or friending you. I know someone tyold me I had to read it but the order of things escapes me. I _d0_ know that I've been lurkingboy since I friended you as I just didn't have much to say and you're the "black sheep" of my friends list. One who I friended more for them than thier interests. So, I've still only read the three (also read Beach 2) so won't comment just yet, as I am still working my way through Grisham's Rainmaker for a book exchange. I do have to say that it's quite my thing. Liking it muchly.

Ooh, a new MFATGG! *bops head in excitement*

And I must swing by the local Borders to check out The New Joy of Gay Sex: Updated as well. I loved the second edition.

I would never have known it came in (as I was not involved in the new releases at all this week) excpet that I ran into the cart it was sitting on and knocked it over. Saw it as I was picking it up and may have just whooped out loud.

Funny. And you have to admire a band/performer that sings the original verses to the song and don't change the pronouns or sex of the words.

Natural Woman. hee. That's right up there with My Boyfriend's Back. Still trying to figure out if any of them are gay or not. Their liner notes are a fantastic work of fiction each time. Very entertaining.
