Once upon a time

I finished "Villa Incognito" by Tom Robbins on Friday. Sometimes it just takes a bit for me to type an entry. So this book was great, as I think Robbins' books are. Now, I can offically say I've read all of his books. I thought I could before until I found out about this one. His sarcastic, witty writing combined with a good story makes for a fantastic read. Although, I do know some people who can't get into his books. I'm not really sure why as I've always thought his books are pretty easy to read. But, I suppose they do take some getting used to. You have to follow a plethora of characters sometimes and the storylines are a little absurd. But, that's why I like them. Stretch the imagination. His stories incorporate intellect and imagination. 2 things, I'm fond of. He always does a lot of research too, which shows in the works he produces. Reminds me a lot of Vonnegut. This one did not fall short, which made me happy, as I was ready for all the intellectual stimulating absurd things he could throw my way.

Now I'm reading "Naked" by David Sedaris. Back to good old absurd everyday things. It's good. He's pretty funny and pokes fun at all the outlandish things from his childhood and whatnot. And, finally the library has "Sellevision" by Augusten Burroughs on hold for me. I'm picking it up tonight for after I finish this one. I'm excited to read it. It'll round out my Burroughs memoirs.

I found a writing contest I was going to enter. Then, I found out I had to find a new computer. Then I procrastinated. It's been about a month since I've had a home computer now. My monthly budgeting has gone out the window. And I need to actually start writing a story. Although, I did find some more contests online because I don't think I'm making the cut for this one. I don't have enough time. Oh well.

Just noticed there's a scheduled outage on this site in about 20 minutes. I'd better cut this short...

Please donate money to me...for my computer memorial fund...please...

Why is chocolate so damn good?!?! Yummy.
