whale blubber

In tyring to find a show about dinosaurs, I find something called "mysteries of the deep" and it looks like it's going to be giant squid and things like that, but it's not. It's another damn loch ness show. I am so sick of Area 51, The Bermuda Triangle, Bigfoot, and the Goastsucker. I just can't take another crop circle conspiracy show. I will violently explode if exposed to another druid death circle at stonhenge.

Whe I was a kid, I lived in Lake George, NY, an very lovely place. Georgia O'keefe had a home there, but I never knew that untill I moved away. Oh well. But, also, a lake monster. What's it named? Georgie.

So many of the photos of monsters washed up on shore turn out to be massive hunks of decomposing whale blubber. I think that's great. It looks so freakishly like a massive octopus.
So now any phantom creature will be written off as whale blubber.

Weapons of mass destruction?
Whale blubber.

Recent books: Gary benchley, rock star by Paul Ford. I laughed so hard hot tea gushed from my nose.

Knitting, a novel by Anne Bartlett. In Austrailia 911 is 000. a pretty good read.

A Good Yarn by Debbie Macomber. It's like eating a tart made of treacle dipped in honey with chocolate syrup and caramel on top, then smothered in whipped cream and on a stick. Then, possibly deep fryed. it's really that bad.

Assasination Vacation, by Sara Vowell. I never like her, and the sound of her voice literally sets my teeth on edge. But this book is great! I like her so much better now, and I find my self actually interested in American History, which I've always ignored. bad, bad me!

Singularity, by Bill DeSmedt. Fun, dumb, and adventure-y. Like a good episode of Alias. Lots of explosions a pseudo-science. Maybe some real science too. But it gets perilously close to whale blubber, as it is connected to events of the Tunguska meteor strike in 1908, that everyone likes to say was aliens. They have a different idea, and I'll be spoiler sensitive to the non-existant people who read this, and not say. If i ever come back and re-read this and I can't remember, too bad.

Portrait of a Lady, by Henry James. I saw the movie with NIccole Kidman, and thought it looked really interesting, but wasn't sure if it was a good movie. Jury's out on the book too.
