a book and a GIP!

Friday Night Lights, by H. G. Bissinger. The book, not the movie, nor the TV series (neither of which I've seen, natch). This was pretty good. Of course, I kinda skimmed all the football strategy stuff ('cause, you know, whatever). Great portrait of life in a small West Texas town, and for that matter, high school in the late 80s. These people, um, have rather skewed priorities when it comes to football - so much so that they were pissing me off after a while, and by the end, I was kind of rooting for them to lose, just so they'd get what they deserved. But then, I'm not really the target audience here at all. The social structure portrayed here, plus the weird gender stuff was just something else (the Pepettes who each have their own individual football player for them to minister to slave for bake cookies for - that just freaked me out. I'm surprised they didn't just have those girls line up and give blowjobs to each player before each game..... *ahem*).

Also - note the new icon. Just 'cause.

Also - good news, yay! We get to go on our vacation to Nova Scotia!!! Woohoo!!!! We're planning on the very end of September/beginning of October. Gotta get those books and maps out!
