In which the middle-aged Peacenik mouths off about War Drones--and all the other things that make him cranky.

Little Mr Mahatma

Saturday, June 10, 2006

Another Saturday
A week gone by again. Tomorrow, another Sunday and then back to work. Until then. I just finished the book Million Dollar Baby and am still trying to catch my breath. I haven't seen the film but now Imust. It's a collection of short stories F.X. Toole, all with a boxing theme. The first two stories were good and get you acquainted with the seedy underworld of boxing. You get used to the terms and the spirit. The last two stories, I felt, were a bit of a letdown because the middle story and the one that inspired the film is a masterpiece. I fell right into it, finished it, and promptly re-read it - it's that good. A while back I had read that Brokeback Mountain was that type of a short story, one that grabs you, blows you away, and ultimately changes you. I read that one and wasn't nearly as impressed as with this one. Highly recommended.

But with that book done I've started in on Black Dahlia Avenger. I had read Severed and was gruesomely fascinated. I picked up BD Avenger at an outlet bookstore. What the heck. So far it's holding my interest but the problem is that this book proves one guy (father of the author) did it while Severed proves it was someone else. Who's right?

What to do tomorrow...maybe we'll go to the San Fernando Valley Fair. It's not the L. A. County Fair but a small and manageable endeavour. If it's not blazing hot tomorrow it'll be perfect. Maybe even get in some horseback riding.
