Minigoal update or: As the Slacker Turns

I am very far behind in my minigoal of completing Queen of Demons right now. I went camping and got tired and never got back into reading after that. Hopefully, this weekend will settle that. I hope to finish Queen of Demons and The Subtle Knife by the end of the weekend. Not that this is very realistic but it will get me back on track.

How's that sound?

Talk to ya later

Is "The Sublte Knife" about a bald man dividing burgers?

Sean Woods said...

Salty burgers?

As far as I know, it's the continuation from The Golden Compass, which is a junior fiction book about a girl trying to find and rescue her father from a prison guarded by armoured polar bears.

However, it COULD have something in there about separating burgers.

separating burgers because they are frozen together?

The whole reason you're being left behind this weekend is so you'll catch up on your reading. Read faster Johnstone!!

Have a good weekend Lumpy. Don't forget to eat now and then. I love you!

Liam "Read Faster!" Johnstone. I like it.

And I really don't think he'll be forgetting meals too frequently.

You don't remember all those late-night trips to Humpty's, Cliff?

"This is the first I've eaten today."

Is "seperating burgers" some kind of gay reference?

Anonymous said...

Yeah, but that was back in the old days.

Besides, you always made up for it with a Famous Cowboy Breakfast...and everyone else's leftovers.

Liam J. said...

Separating burgers could be a gay reference but not if you're using a knife.

I think that happened in Se7en.

"I met your pretty little wife, Brad Pitt's character. Oh yes, I separated her burgers. Why don't you open the box and see for yourself?"

I think I do remember that line from the movie.

I was more thinking of that guy that had to use the prosthetic that had a knife blade on it, but okay...

Well, now you've taken something that was darkly amusing AND disturbing, and rendered it simply disturbing. Congratulations, El Creepo.

I hate to interupt this...umm...intellectual... um...banter between you boys but LIAM - the rest of us out here would like an update, pretty please! How'd you do without the wife and kids last weekend, for example? Did you get as much reading in as you thought?

Liam didnt do any reading. He was too busy being a social animal for a few days.

Helen Mueller said...

I am disappointed and dismayed.

Liam J. said...

I filled out my wife's checklist of things to get done, I finished my walking stick (except for the varnish), I took Jack for a walk and I went for coffee a couple of times.

I will update the blog very soon.

Helen Mueller said...

wow! That was a BUSY weekend. I noticed you didn't mention anything about the "social animal" type activies...hmmm...I remember reading something about crack?...

Crack = Madden.

Curse you, Electronic Arts! You are the world's biggest enabler. It took months to wean myself away from the frustration (damn psychic defensive backs, and middle linebackers with 5 foot verticals!).
