well, tonight we had our monthly bookclub @ the logan north library! we discussed the book 'dear fatty', the autobiography of the british (i think?) comedian dawn french.
she's written her book not in chapters, but in letters, like, to her dad (who committed suicide by gassing himself in their family car><) and to madonna (she reverts back to very low-class english when she's talking to madonna, dunno why). my favourite part of her book: when she was a lil girl, she liked climbing under her parents bed and pretending to hide. only, her parents' bed was one of those old beds with springs underneath. and one night, while she was hiding under the bed, her fast asleep dad rolled around in the bed. the springs compressed, her poor fingers got squished, and ... owww. >< her cries awoke her father, who leapt outta to see what the matter was. but oh dear, her father has a habit of sleeping stark naked! miss french saw this long, hairy thing dangling from between his legs, and decides that some MONSTER's trying to attack her precious dad! well, considering he had just saved her from certain finger death from the evil bed, she decides to return the favour, and LUNGES for that long, hairy, dangly thing between her father's legs, and tries to pull it off! Pull It Off! PULL IT OFF! now, being only about three years old, she doesn't understand why her father's helplessly laughing his head off. but, eventually, he calms her down and back into bed. dawn says she never saw that long, hairy dangly thing again, so she presumes that her dad must've taken it to the vet and had it put down. :P
it's always awesome seeing all those lovely ladies and having a great chat with them. it's also nice to have a cuppa and munch on bikkies. okay, so i was a PIG today who nabbed TEN, but i promise in the future i'll just restrict myself to eight. :P besides, mother didn't care to feed me dinner tonight, so yeah.
anyways, the book we're doing for march is some book about WW1 written by some guy who died in 1970. somehow, i don't think it'll be quite as funny as this one we've just done.
oh, one more thing: amanda says that in the library there's this shelf of unloved books. it's where books that haven't been borrowed for more than six months have been relocated. :P
i guess the only downside to the bookclub was that PIG mum gleefully FORCED :( me to walk up the many steps of stairs to the library and gleefully FORCED :( me to walk down them afterwards. i prolly get especially pissed because there is a bloody ELEVATOR right beside the stairs, which i highly suspect was built for mobility impaires ppl, i.e. ME! but hey ... :(
anyways, next post here should prolly come toms - i had UQ physio today! until then~
cheers,
em. ^^
