Apropos of nothing

I really like Paul Simon's Graceland. It is a good album. My dad had the record and used to listen to it a lot. How can you go wrong with Ladysmith Black Mombazo and zydeco in one record? You can't! (ok I know you can but go with me on this) I have listened to it strait for the past 3 work days. I have yet to get tired of it. It would just be nice if I could sing along and not get weird looks.
I have also inadvertantly read 2 books that were both based on Nazi's doing better pre-WWII than they historically did. The first one was The Plot Against America by Philip Roth. It was about Lindbergh, really, and how he was a supporter of the Germain Nazi regime and how he was going to run for president against FDR. Interesting but boring really. This new one is called The Man In The High Castle by Philip K. Dick. In this one the Allies lost WWII and the US is split between Japan and Germany. Interesting so far. Not what I was expecting from the author though. I've known him as a SF writer more than this really. So we shall see how this will end.
I finished Good Omens. I really enjoyed it. Like I said, much like Douglas Adams. Funny, witty, crazy, good ending. Enjoyed it and would recommend it to just about anyone. So go and read it!!
I also worked on mine and heather's lj layouts this weekend, but because I left the disk in the computer, can't do anything about it today. Pain in the ass. And you want to know how many times I said to myself "Leave it in there and you're going to forget it"? 4. And what did I do? Forget it. I swear to god I would loose my head if it wasnt attached. My brain doesnt like to work lately. At least not when I want it to.
