Fifty Shades of Grey

Unless you live under a rock or out of this world, you probably have heard of this so called mommy porn, Fifty Shades of Grey, E L James' fan fiction based on the tremendously successful Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer, which is a best seller in its own right and not so surprisingly soon to be a motion picture near you.  Of all the unbelievable stuff in the book, I found the bit that the protagonist Anastasia Steele doesn't have her own computer the most unbelievable.  And mind you the story is set in the very near past like 2010 or something and Steele is a college student major in English literature.  The book says she uses the computer at school or from work or share one with her housemate.  Wow.  I can't comment on all the mommy porn stuff as I am out of my depth in that department (OKAY, they are salacious, hot and funny).  I read the e-book version on my sucky htc EVO 4G from the library.  The whole process is not exactly intuitive and actually quite annoying, I got it work but don't ask me how.  The book is supposed to self destruct when expired so nothing to return.  The good thing about e-reading is nobody knows you are reading Fifty Shades of Grey.  Not that there is anything wrong with it.

Cutting grass in the backyard

Work is important.

Let the good time roll

We were at the cheesecake factory. I searched high and low, every nook and cranny, but still couldn't find any ribs on the menu. It's weird, unacceptable and above all disappointing. I am surprised the boys were given kids menus, that saved a bundle. I think I still like Outback better. This one in the mall is really big, 2-story tall. I had a 22 oz Stella and some pasta. We were full and had left-over to take home.

Unbelievable

Of all the unbelievable stuff I read from Fifty Shades of Grey, I found this one the most unbelievable:  Anastasia Steele, a college student, or a recently graduated student, doesn't own a computer, not desktop nor a notebook.  She has to use her roomate's or one from her part-time job or at school.  Wow!  She has an iPod though.

Civil War (2024)

This is basically a Dorothy yellow brick road kind of story.  Also, something to do with the new replaces the old, the circle of life thing....
