romanticism is for suckers

So I finally finished a book that I actually started when I was in high school. I recently dug it up and had to finish it, starting form the beginning that is. I’m sure I’ve mentioned it on here somewhere. “Love is a Wild Assault” is all about a woman in the Texas frontier and making bad decisions about love. It’s good but man was it aggravating. The way things were handled back then. The way women were treated and the social constraints, just boggles my mind. And there’s so many parts where you just wanted the heroine to get her own gun and start shooting some sense into men. But that’s a little drastic. I want all my girlfriends to read this book, if a boy reads it he might vomit. It’s definitely a literary chick flick. But if you are a male and hopelessly romantic and curious about the Texas in the days of when it was it’s own country, go for it.

Also today I watched “Sleepless in Seattle”. It’s just a rock a block Saturday full of romantic fiction! So good. Tom Hanks. *sigh*. Today also was like tom hanks day on tv, not only was “Seattle” on, but so was “Catch me if you Can” and “Cast Away”, and I wouldn’t be surprised if there was more than that. But reminds me. I also recently watched “Disturbia” staring Shia Labeouf. Movie= meh. Mr. Labeouf= perfect. And then I looked him up online, just ya know imdb is a beautiful thing. And there was a thing about how Steven Spielberg liked him because he reminded him of a young Tom Hanks! So watch out Matt.

After working out today I really wished that I could be swimming laps. I love being in the water and being in the pool means that it’s nice enough outside to be outside. Plus I could sit out in the sun. I think I need to start tanning again or something. It’s getting rough not getting some UVA’s and UVB’s. or at the very least a slight chance of cancer. And besides with all the time on my hands my job should be to look good and if that doesn’t work out then I’ll start reading more. Or both would be ideal. Good looking AND smart- yikes. As I told my good friend Jeff- I’d be unstoppable.

And now a quote from my day, from one of the best romantic comedies of all time:
"Verbal ability is a highly overrated thing in a guy, and it's our pathetic need for it that gets us into so much trouble."
