Posting from work!

Eek! I hope no one sees me!

I'm working on temp agencies today. How ironic.

I wonder what would happen if someone in the office found this blog. If they were to read the last post, it would take them about ten seconds to figure out who had written it. (And probably about ten more seconds to fire me.)

Fie on me for being so descriptive. The narrative, boy! Pay attention to the narrative!

Yesterday on Wikipedia I spent several hours reading about infamous aviation disasters (TWA 800, PanAm/Lockerbie, the Challenger). Horribly morbid stuff. I'd been brought to the subject by a conversation at dinner about "The Aviator," which my mom and her husband had seen just recently. We wound up on the subject of plane disasters, and my mother's husband claimed to have seen a surface-to-air missile being launched into the sky on the day TWA 800 crashed. That was probably the biggest lie I've heard all year. The odds of that actually being true are vanishingly small, as far as I can tell. What a putz.

Spending time on Wikipeda also always makes me realize how much great literature there is out there that I haven't read (How I got from the Challenger to Brecht and Beckett I can't say). I'm thinking of picking up a couple Nathaniel West novels on my way home from work today. Just in case you care.

P.S. - Happy Birthday to little Suri Holmes-Cruise!
