catching up......

okay,there have been way too many blog posts by daly while i was away so i shall just summarise......
daly went to the fringe,had a great time,was busy at work,has a vendetta against double spaces and ummm,has read some books.........
i think i have a valid excuse for not writing before now,being in asia and all.i hope to capture the trip in all its pink eyed glory over the next while,mainly caus im now back to blissful unemployment and now have alot of time on my hands.....
so im thinking of 3 blogs,vietnam,laos and thailand......cataloging each trip,and musing on how many times we mentioned daly on our trip,most notably the time we almost missed our train to bangkok but managed to arrive 2mins before the gate closed and we were like "daly would never be able to com on holidays with us"...........caus she would be there 2 hours beforehand......
i shall try to muse on my time in asia,where i spent the month trying to "find myself" but ended up just getting drunk,but if u cant find yourself when drunk,when can u........

also on a literary note,i managed to get in a spot of reading.....mainly caus we went on alot of long journeys......
the one i am most proud of was finishing "the reader" in 2hrs......much to my travelling partner's disgust........as it took her a week.......
if i am musings,my partner is reflections,our inspiration is daly,then my travelling partner shall be referred to as................my lover?
im sure many people thought that we were indeed lesbians over the trip.......i mean if u cant lick ur friends face platonically well then i just dont know!

so i shall try and gather the memories of the trip,though they are already getting a bit hazy...........

Daly's challenged..........musings part.1

soooooo,i read the first book in my version of daly's challanged.......mills&boon, " a colby christmas"........read it in about two hours.......
now,i wasnt flicking through the pages to get to the raunchy parts or anything......(of which there were few).......
i have to say,i was disappointed by the lack of intercourses in this book....there were no throbbing members and there were no heaving bosoms.....i mean i could just have read a regular book......and where's the fun in that?
though there were a few innuendo's(in.ur.endos).......which all symbolised erections,something about all the blood rushing to one spot....i mean,seriously.......
i give this book a "C-" im afraid *could have done better*

also in daly's newest blog she bemoans people who get things done......so is she hating on herself then?
because daly is the person who has things organised 15 years in advance.......when she was going to toronto she had packed two weeks beforehand,and i know that she had planned what she was going to pack about a month in advance before she actually gave in to the packing.
im sure she had to hold herself back,repress the urge not to pack......it possibly brought her out in cold sweats......sleepless nights also possibly.

also,why is there a random irish word thrown in the blog, it has no place there.....like a prom night baby in a dumpster,there are better places for it.but she does admit that this is an aimless meander......meadering aimlessly through the blog wilderness of aimless meanders...........
but i digress.......

in the final note,she asks
"is it better to be busy and productive or to live in a controlled environment with the ability to say no…it’s a toughie"........

my head begins to ache at the thought of trying to figure this one out........
by controlled environment does she mean like,a cage?

can cage fighters say no?is it in their vocabulary after one too many hits to the noggin?
but are cage fighters not busy and productive,rolling out punches everynight?

ah,these morality questions......they make u think.....

adieu.

Daly's challenged..........

whilst musing over dalys last blog and indeed our own blog on her blog-blog.......blog........one was inspired to take on a challange of one's own........

so recently i "acquired" two mills and boon books,"a south texas christmas" and "a colby christmas".......as well as a maeve binchy book,"the return journey"..........and a free copy of another book in cosmo called "operation sunshine".......

i also found a book i started 5 months ago(but cant get past chapter 2)"the girl with the dragon tattoo".......aswel as a diary of my travels that i kept from my first really big adventure,which im beginning to think might be more entertaining than the others........though it will probably read like a mills and boon novel anyway..........BOOM!

so can i read these books before daly has read hers?!she has reflected that the edinburgh fringe festival may interfere with the timely reading of these before the winner of the booker prize has been announced..........i'm not going to the fringe but i am going to asia....which is on the proverbial fringe of the world,if u may.......

also none of the books in my challenge are on the list of the booker prize.......though i feel that my own travel diary could make it on to the list some day.........

so there we go!
i probably should start with the book i have already started......but those mills and boon books are drawing me in,especially with a storyline about brad,who is locked in a skyscraper with a doe-eyed receptionist called elaine and FOUR MASKED MEN........*dramatic music*......

off i go on daly's challenge.......

laters.......
