The wit of Capt. Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce

• Korea's pretty much the same story: the fighting goes on, the hatred, the violence, the senseless brutality, men behaving like animals - and then there's the war.
• Don't worry, I've never lost a patient. I never lose anything. Have you seen my stethoscope?
• Let's shoot him and put him out of our misery
• Frank was once the innocent victim of possession. Through some tragic error they exorcized the nice guy and left that.
• I will not carry a gun, Frank. When I got thrown into this war I had a clear understanding with the Pentagon: no guns. I'll carry your books, I'll carry a torch, I'll carry a tune, I'll carry on, carry over, carry forward, Cary Grant, cash and carry, carry me back to Old Virginia, I'll even 'hari-kari' if you show me how, but I will not carry a gun!
• You know what they say Charles, time wounds all heals.
• Look, I realize I'm dressed to kill, but don't take it literally.

Was watching HellboyII: The Golden Army on HBO...and was quite entertained. Pretty cool flick....state-of-the-art technology, painstaking attention to detail and made all the more amusing thanks to Hellboy(Ron Perlman)'s caché of sarcastic quips, fisticuffs and dry-wit. The inner-geek in me was mighty pleased...

Say hello to my new favourite flawed-hero :)

Love You To Death (The Mediator Series, Book #1)

Meg Cabot does a neat portrayal of teen heroines. They are spunky…have some of the most interesting and weird conversations in their heads and more often than not come up with ear-bending dialogue like: “Lay one hand on my brother and I’ll stuff you right back into that grave from which you crawled out.” Yep, real heart-warming stuff…

Suzanne (Suze) Simon is no different. Her widowed mother has remarried and the mother-daughter duo shift from bleary New York to California, sunny-side up. Her step-father (who breaks the cliché and is a real sweetheart) comes armed with three sons. Snatched from familiar surroundings and plonked into a place that’s too pastel for a native New Yorker, Suze has quite a lot on her plate.

Add to that her one dark secret. Suze is a mediator….she talks to the dead and handles their unfinished business on earth. She encounters nice, snotty and downright nasty ghosts. Not all want to move on to the great big Pizza Parlour in the sky. So Suze has to kick (surprisingly solid) ghost butt at regular intervals. Things heat up as she shifts into her new home. There is a seriously good looking Spanish ghost in her room called Jesse. And Suze also has to deal with the ghost of a snotty, preppy high-schooler called Heather. Heather is as mean as your average poltergeist and is set to wreck hell in Suze’s new school, seeking revenge on the boyfriend who dumped her. The result is plenty of Buffy-style action and hi-jinx.

The first in the Mediator series is a quick one-hour read…witty and quintessentially Cabot.

G*R*E*A*S*E

...watched GREASE (for the zillionth time) with my ladies. Danny Zucko still has the best moves this side of pelvic-town...Sandra Dee's petal-fresh act is still in place...and Rizzo still makes you ache with her hard-as-nails act. Love the movie...worship the soundtrack...and all I have to say is...shoobap sha wadda wadda yippity boom de boom!!!

November Rain

It’s November…and we’re being treated to an unseasonal rainy spell. The weather’s chilly, deliciously dark and the air has a spankin’ new feel to it. I like to live out clichés whenever I can…so I snuggled up in bed, scrunched up my toes and continued with the mighty ‘LOTR’. A box of chocs were placed, strategically within reach. A pear (to ease my guilt) sat primly next to the devil’s tool. I read, nibbled and read some more.

Not satisfied with that, I made a hefty pair of grilled sandwiches…and wiggled my nose in anticipation as the cheese melted and rose up in delightful fumes.

A reluctant winter with a dash of rain…*utter bliss*
