Why is life so consistently unfair and wretched? Yet again, I feel like a human punching bag, and my brain is reeling from the utter idiocy which I face daily.
Perhaps it's just one bad day and all this will be better by tomorrow. I will let you know, but in the meantime my head will strain to understand my surroundings.
Also, I finished The Prince, Machiavelli, The Shipping News, Proulx, and Sidhartha by Herman Hesse. I am taking a reading break for a few days. Please email me some good news.

I have finished another book of note. American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis. Wow, what a book, eye-opening and strange. If it had been a movie I never would have even touched the case, but somehow the book is less violent and more surreal. I don't yet fully understand why it is Mr. R's favorite book but I want to know. Mostly to shape my own opinions, because I'm uncertain that I got the point of the book.
Sure I took some good lessons from the book, and I know that Mr. R has taken several good lessons. Many of those lessons would never work on me. Is that why I can be his friend? Maybe. Anyway, i would recommend this to others, if for no other reason than that everyone should see how that .5% lives.
A question: Is it so outrageous so that we don't take it seriously or is it outrageous only to those who would dream of these things?
I am currently reading The Shipping News by E. Annie Proulx and it is a much more lighthearted and steady read. It's obvious why News won awards, much more obvious than most.

I may actually be the most unreliable person (as pertains to blogging) in the entire world. I am so sorry for the lack of updates this past week but I have been really, really , really busy. And tired, and worn out and generally satisfied.
I have just finished Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen. I thoroughly enjoyed the novel, and my opinion changed as I went through the book. Perhaps that is what Austen intended? A change in feeling for the reader as the book goes from start to finish of hate to love. A definite read for all those who live on Earth, or any people who have relatives on Earth.
I am now checking my email and will reply to any that are in my inbox. New emails will not be forthcoming, I am strictly in reply mode this evening, and most evenings.
One last thing, Welcome Back Barb! Hope you all had fun at the bar, and do not call me to rub the sushi in or I will send flaming poo to your doorstep.

My blog is messed up. I think the comments may have screwed it up. Now it says that Chest has posted stuff, when really it is all done by Chester Pines, or me.
I feel like a human punching bag this week, and I am sore from testicle to tit. And from head to toe. Work is tough, and there is lots of exertion to remind me why I like nice office positions. I cannot at this point remember why I left Rogers Insurance. I had it real good there, and the people were all very nice, and I was bored. Now I remember, I was bored. Well here I have no time to think about boredom. Any spare time I have I'm thinking about what's next on the to-do list.
Sushi at Sushi Tokyo here in Quesnel is really quite good. The fish is a little expensive for what you get (it's a little thin), but the tempura was excellent, and I mean excellent!! I will try some more on Sunday I think and update you on Monday or so.
