My Husband: Evil Prankster

TK's friend, J, a burly guy who is a fan of true crime novels and movies, left a computer at work still logged on to Netflix. TK went into his account and added "Care Bears: Kingdom of Sharing" to the top of his queue. It has probably shipped by now.

Back on track

Mun Mun has been working at new liberry with good results! Rarely do belligerent teens pass through new dept. Only mentally ill and homeless are now new friends and constant companions! New friends are so much more quiet (except when screaming from bad trip or assaults on their persons every so often.) Mun Mun also happy with BEST new companions, city officers with billy clubs!

Mun Mun getting fun questions like, "Are scientists teaching dogs to talk?", "Have buffaloes and cows been interbred with fertile offspring?" (answer:yes! Beefalo big industry), and "Where are the muscle car repair books?"

Mun Mun still reading last Harry Potter even though Mun Mun knows ending 'cos of loudmouth fuckers.

Started writing new Pops book. Title is "What Do You Say, Pops?: All Year Round."

Gay Angel Fight!

I've almost reached the end of the His Dark Materials trilogy. The Amber Spyglass alludes to some sexual stuff which is unusual in a kids' book. For instance, there are a couple of male angel characters that are super, super close and some weird garden of eden comparisons with the main characters. This trilogy has been quite a ride.

Leaving this veil of tears

Friday was my last day working in South L.A. You haven't lived until you've had a two and a half year old African American boy tell you, "Get out of my face, bitch."

Rod Steiger dancing

Mun Mun had always loved a scene from the movie, "The Chosen" in which Rod Steiger dances at a wedding to this awesom Klezmer music. I finally tracked down who performed this music and it is a band called Kapelye. If only my lame clarinet teacher had had me learn music like that, instead of boring classical etudes, I probably would have continued to play.

TK and I watched the 90's version of "The Island of Dr. Moreau" with Marlon Brando the other night. I hadn't known that a character in that movie was the inspiration Mini-Me from Austin Powers. It made the movie worth seeing for me (though I don't recommend it.)

Mun Mun through with ghetto fools up in here

Mun Mun is escaping her job in the 'hood in two months and will transfer to a job downtown. Woo hoo! Mun Mun's going to the show.

Mun Mun called in sick Saturday and lucked out by missing another random shooting and pool of blood outside the liberry.

Mun Mun was at home watching her favorite show in pajamas. Mun Mun loves the Sarah Silverman Program on Comedy Central.

Dear New York

Dear New York,

I know there would be problems with drug use and prostitution if you had them, but if you would add more public restrooms, I bet your streets and parks would smell less like pee.

Love,
Mun Mun

P.S. If you added some elevators to the subway, I bet people with baby strollers would appreciate it.

Audiobook of Golden Compass

Yesterday I finished listening to the first book of the "His Dark Materials" Trilogy by Philip Pullman on tape. Though I was alone in my car, I was tempted to stand up and applaud when it ended. It was that good. Philip Pullman narrated and a large cast did the voices on this Listening Library production.

Oge had recommended the trilogy a few years back and I'm finally getting around to it. If you like Harry Potter, you'll dig the Golden Compass fo' sho'.

I love Iorek Byrnison!

TK Sleeptalking

Sometimes I talk to TK and he seems awake, but he's really asleep. This morning around 5 am he had his arm around me.

Mun: I'm gonna get up and go to the bathroom.
TK: Are you going to call someone?
Mun: Like...am I going to call one of the cats? (once I'm in there)
TK: I don't know. I don't work for your organization.
