bookclub! (june)

well, seeing as the poor maroons lost to the smelly blues last night, i'm hardly gonna write a post about origin two! XD instead, this post is all about last thursday night's book club!
mother had already gleefully FORCED :( me to hike the stairs once for her that arvo, meaning i got to take the lift up.
tilly DEMANDED that i take her to see erika! "it's been THREE MONTHS, em!" she wailed. "i wanna see erika! i miss her!" :P
when i arrived, amanda sauntered over and handed me the book i'd spend the night reading, a star trek novel! it was even pre-TOS! amanda told me that she actually belongs to some star trek fan club and that she prefers DS9 to TOS. oh well, each to their own. :P
much thanks to erika who made me one cuppa, white and two, which of course i held 'incorrectly'. she also passed me four or five bikkies to munch on.
as usual, we first went around with our impressions of the book. i impressed everyone - myself included - when i managed to hum the theme song out to them! i mean, i've been outta the insane asylum (more commonly referred to as the princess alexandra hospital :P) for just over three years now, and i can STILL remember the theme song! lol, i guess coz M*A*S*H aired @ 5pm, which was when dinner was served.
the book was titled 'never have your dog stuffed', and was the autobiography of one of the main characters in M*A*S*H, alan alda. mostly everyone enjoyed it, but i did raise the question of, when they took their deceased pet dog to the taxidermist and the guy asked them, "what expression does your dog usually wear on its face?" exactly how did they convey that expression? :P
after that, we just went into a discussion of what other books we'd read this month. me, having become an incredibly slow reader post brain injury, only finished the book three days before book club, only had to read several more pages of john howard's autobiography, lazarus rising. he's just become the treasurer, BTW.
anyways, the book we're reading for next month is one called 'my place'.
next post here ... umm, i think this saturday SHINE fellowship are going to some housewarming! cya sunday, then!
cheers,
em. ^^
