Obladi

I have been Simpsonized.

I am terribly amused by this picture. Not only does it kind of look like me, it looks a lot like my mother. In fact, it looks more like her than like me, although the hair is more me than her. But Simpsons, as a rule, have no chins to speak of, and Shirl had just a wee bit of a receding chin, whereas I have just a regular one. But I think it's a funny picture anyway; I may add it to my page permanently somewhere.

Other than a visit to the chiropractor this morning -- and let me tell you, he is one strange individual -- I've done very little today. Oh, I did do the exercise video in the morning, so that was good. It was damn hot outside today; my sister and I were going to do an errand together in the afternoon but it was just too hot to be out and about.

Not enjoying my reading so much today; I think I'll give up on this one. It's a biography of Ingrid Bergman, which is interesting in and of itself, but this is not so well written, just a list of anecdotes and quotations, really. The biography of Cary Grant I read last year was really fascinating, with a lot of insight into what made him tick. So far, this is just boring, and I really like Ingrid Bergman. I'll have to see what's next on the stack of books.

Nothing else to report. I have Bobby to watch from Blockbuster, which I'd like to get to this weekend. Generally I seem to keep them forever. I finally started to watch Borat the other day, but within ten minutes I had no patience for it. I could see it was going to be the same joke again and again and again. And if a stranger came up to me on the streets of New York to kiss me hello -- although I noticed they didn't show him approaching any women -- I would have dropped dead on the spot, and if I survived that, you can be sure I would never venture into the city again as long as I lived. I guess I identified more with his victims that with his character. Sent that sucker right back.

Got my car serviced today and all it needed was an oil change and that basic stuff. 124,800+ miles. I'm holding onto it until I go over a bump one day and all the pieces parts start to fall off, like in a cartoon. Although I may not have much longer to wait.
