Unleashing The Kraken...

I wasn’t planning on posting anything today.  I spent a good part of my day finishing off the last 300 or so pages of ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”, which I highly recommend.  The remainder was spent being frustrated that there was no running water in the hotel when I decided to shower.  Yeah.  I can deal with power outages and no satellite TV; but when it comes to no water?  I get hot and bothered and my face gets flushed…unlike the toilet.

AnyH2O, I finally turned on my computer and perused the recent entries on CrackBook.  I was immediately assaulted with the reason I didn’t want to participate in the first place.  Before I share what I read, let me tell you that after over a year of people telling me that I needed to ‘join’, I only agreed to do so because of my move to India.  Yes, it’s a great way to keep in touch with people, but it’s also unleashing the Kraken…

“My roommate is at it aain watching jerry pringer i swear that show is for ppl who have nothing else going on in thier lives and its for ppl with low manalities”

Okay.  I can understand the lack of punctuation, and capitalization, and abbreviations, and misspellings…to a point.  But if you’re going to bash someone for having a low “mentality”, then display a better one yourself.

Just WAIT till you get to and through the other two books. They're awesome. And, if you can score the Swedish movies as they come out (Tattoo and Plays with Fire) they're amazing. I cannot imagine how Hollywood will do them better. The actors in the Swedish ones seem spot on. Tough about the water situation. Good luck with that, Linda!

i hate facebook. oh how i hate the facebook. so thankful i am not alone. (i have an account, but log in only once every six months or so.)

that no water thing would drive me insane. i can be camping and covered in mud, but if my teeth and hands are clean i am comfortable. can't even imagine what you are living with. just praying it is over soon and you are able to get settled in to your new place.

love the girl with the dragon tattoo. just picked up the girl who played with fire. perhaps i'll stay in tonight and read...
