So I'm at work waiting to go home and reading the romance novel I picked up today (Nerd in Shining Armor, which was actually kinda cute if you have a thing for geeks) and one of the dock workers walking through the office stopped and said, "That book is really good."

I thought he was goofing on me, but no, he was being serious. He proceeded to spout off the plot exactly, then when I blurted out, "You read romance novels?!", he said somberly, "I read everything." *wails* Damn you! Why can't you be a millionaire who looks like Johnny Depp instead of a dock worker who looks like a less attractive Spike Lee?

So, yeah, I found a straight man who reads romance novels the same day Bill O'Reilly defended Kerry's war record on the Factor. I keep waiting for it to rain frogs and underpants or for all of the planet's water to turn to Jello, but no go so far.

Also, I love Don & Mike, I do. You know that story from a while back about the sex bracelets? Well, today the guys were talking about them and what the colors meant, and they proposed that we should combine the terror alerts with the sex bracelet meanings. For example, red means everyone gets a lap dance, orange means everybody gets a kiss, yellow means everybody gets a hug, blue means all the boys get blow jobs, and green means all the chicks get blows jobs.

You heard that, folks. Less manipulative fear, more blow jobs!

Hmm. I wonder if I could get Kerry and Edwards to use that as a campaign slogan.

EDIT: Yup. Still like "Goodbye Earl", and still know all of the words. I wonder if it's still the only country song my brother's ever liked.

Once I read an ebook with that title, and they were marooned on an island after a plane crash and this dude was trying to kill them. Is it that one?

Yup, that was the one. I liked it well enough (although I did have a few problems with it, but nothing I couldn't get over), so I'll probably end up getting the new one of hers that's out.

Dangit; I'm trying to find the ebook I bought when I was on my other computer. I would have thought it would have transferred over.
