"No, she's not supernatural. Just compelling."
"That guy has his head so far up his own ass it's a wonder he can see well enough to write a book."
"Are you saying to me in code that she's an idiot? Because you know I don't do idiots."
In other news, interview alumnus/fiancé contender Paul Constant, who is possibly the only person in the world who has read more books than us (hey, we didn't say they were all GOOD books, did we), has started an exciting new matchmaking service. Can't think of what to read next? Paul will help you! How clever is that? So clever! AND he likes Elaine Dundy! Who you should all go read RIGHT NOW!

Awesome!
Haha. Love the idiot quote.
Can't wait to see what you've come up with for next week.
LMAO!Love the Bon Jovi reference! Nothing like some Bon Jovi to get the Friday started off properly.
See you Monday!
I'm going to be singing this song the rest of the day - thanks for that. Happy Friday!
I think this blog is too downbeat. What about an exclamation point now and again?
And I like matchmaking with books. Of course that was sort of my job. But I kinda miss pimping out my favourite authors. Yo, she's yours for a fiver.
And which one of you folks is gonna finish second next week?
:)
Okay, I copped that line from Larry Bird.
No, she's not supernatural. Just compelling.
Are you kidding? That IS supernatural. Cool powers in place of personality does not make anyone compelling.
Contest! Contest! Yay! Is it leprechaun themed?
Is that out-of-this-world amazing or what? I love it that he doesn't put people down for their tastes in books. Maybe I'll send him a list and ask him. Dare I?
I, like Bon Jovi, am from New Jersey. Will this give me an edge in your contest?
"Sometimes you tell the day, by the bottle that you drink!"
Was Bon Jovi in publishing? :)
Also, YAAAAAY!!!! I can't wait!
I... I don't know how I shall get through the weekend. But I go on vacation for most of next week, to a place with NO WIFI. NO WIFI!? What do I do???
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(The above for Ink.)
Never thought I'd be lookin forward to a Monday. But here's to lookin!
It's the strangest thing. I know the line as "'cause I might not make it back."
I don't say anything, because the only thing worse than being That Guy is to be That Guy Who's Still Wrong. Sure enough, the published lyrics say "'cause I'm not coming back."
But this doesn't sit right with me. I listened to that song an absurd amount of times and have played it repeatedly on Rock Band. So I go watch the video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRvCvsRp5ho) and sure enough, he says "'cause I might not make it back." But all the pages that list the lyrics so "I'm not coming back."
What a strange anomaly.
That was a completely shameless use of JBJ for your own purposes!
You had me at maybe.
Can't wait till next week!
Thanks for the song going through my head (with the right lyrics, of course!)
It's amazing how much can be accomplished while existing inside an ass. I guess assholes let more light in than originally thought.
Okay, will need to be borrowing that idiot line, because that is screaming awesome.
I was in the grocery store today, browsing the selection in aisle eight, when It's My Life came blaring over the speakers. I absolutely thought of you, Le R. And I giggled all the way to aisle ten.
Whee! Can't wait till Monday rolls around.
Rock on dude. Or is it "the dude?" Are you just that good.
I'm a cowboy.
On a steel horse I ride.
I'm wanting
(Wanting)
For Monday to arrive
Okie Dokie! See ya Monday.
Love the quotes - and the upcoming contest! Can't wait :)
I use the word also a lot and I hope you don't mind this post validating my urge to keep using it all the time.
Joseph - as an 80s queen- I have the big hair and "popped" collar to prove it- I agree with you.
Also, I think he says "I've seen a million faces, and I've rocked them all."
contest, woo hoo!
