Basterds!

Fri: 234 lbs.

Seeing "Inglourious Basterds" tonight. Should be awesome. Looking forward to seeing one of the geeks from "Freaks and Geeks" and a member of "The Office" kill some nazis. Bring me the scalps!

Currently reading:
"2666" by Roberto Bolano
- This novel is fantastic. It's hard to really say what it's about, except life. In a fictional northern Mexican city, women and girls are being murdered by the hundreds over the course of a decade. That's the backdrop as the book follows a slew of different characters over 5 distinct sections. I can't stop reading it. Tidbit: Bolano found out he was dying of cancer while he was writing, and because of that, the novel has this sense of urgency to it that just the whole thing glow. It was published posthumously.
