Whereupon I talk smack...

"You know there is a large difference between saving a baby from a fire and stealing babies from a fire-department...a difference that I, being a foreigner, do not understand." -- My younger bruvva, spacepiratenate

     So, I finished reading a book.  I read it in one day.  You've heard me plug the fuck out of digitante, but now I have a fucking reason.

    Half Empty -- by Tim Hall -- is the book I just finished reading.  In one day.  Tim Hall is digitante and I swear to God, this bastard has spied on parts of my life that nobody was supposed to know about.  That having been said, I really really hope I'm not anything like the main character, who I fucking love.  And hate.  God DAMN, my bitches, YOU WILL READ THIS FUCKING BOOK.

    Order one.

    Like me, it's cheap and comes quickly...to your door.

    I'd insert the whole, "It's so gritty and real and visceral" shit here, but you don't want to hear that.  You're tired of that bullshit.  I'm not even going to TELL YOU THE "PLOT" OF THE FUCKING BOOK.  You're just going to buy it and read it.  Period.  Even though there was a word missing when he's talking about thinking about asking this one lady about her immigrant husband and his noodles.  ;D

    C'mon, digitante just did what we all wanna do, he quit his day job, he's working on book number two...and he needs your help to pull of this whole "my life as an artist" jive.  If you're like me, a poor artist who still has his day job and buys every CHEAP artist's stuff that he can, then I'm telling you to dig a few bucks deeper and buy this fucking book.

    I say fucking a lot.  Or rather, I type it a lot.  FUCKING!  I've been accused of swearing too much in my writing.  Pish tosh and balderdash.

    Right, that's enough bootlicking for one night.

UNRELATED: This is one of the shittiest movies ever.  Only in HK can they get away with having a Romantic Comedy Kung-Fu genre, and only in HK can they fuck one up like this.  Damn.  Too bad to even laugh at, except how the subtitles for the one American guy often didn't even come close to reading what he actually said.

    Oh, and if you missed my two recent phone posts, I enjoyed making them.  They're here:

    The story of "Jimmy the Spook" has been finishing itself in my head over the past few days.

Alright now, kiss yourselves goodnight.
