So I love it when I have days off to do nothing but read, play a game (World of Warcraft — some quality time in Azeroth), or veg out on the couch watching a movie or simply nothing at all. We did catch a good oldie (2009), and if you haven’t seen it, it’s worth an hour and half or so of your life… Inglorious Basterds. Written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, it’s set in Nazi-occupied France during World War II. Brad Pitt is one of a group of Jewish-American soldiers known as “The Basterds”, and he and his tribe spend a good bit of time scalping and brutally killing Nazis. I know, it doesn’t read like my kind of movie either, which is probably why it’s been out since ’09 and I just watched it. Still, if you’ve not seen it, take my recommendation and thank me later.
I noticed one of the books I pre-ordered — James Patterson’s Guilty Wives — was delivered wirelessly to my device today. It looks like it’s receiving rave reviews and the plot, (Abbie Elliot’s dream vacation in Monte Carlo with her three best friends turns into a nightmare from hell when, after a night of over-the-top indulgence, the four friends are implicated in an unthinkable crime. ) sure sounds like the type of read I like best. Or maybe it sounds like a female version of The Hangover. Which of course could innocently happen to me and any of my 3 friends. But it won’t because I’m not sure I could be away from these guys long enough…
