Day 80

First item
The Newfie pulls out the flipper! I seriously thought that he was going to go with a seal flipper pie.   Of course I'm talking about Top Chef Canada.  I am totally hyped to see a Newfie on the board.  I hope there is some more traditional Newfoundland items in the course of the season.
Got a small rush just from seeing the Canadian flag on the chef coats.  I'm just dorking out on this big time. Showing my dorkdom proudly.  Don't understand why it took so long to get a TCCanada?  The original show has been on for what like 7 years I think?

Wishcasting Wednesday 
I had already started my post this morning when I remembered it was Wishcasting day on Jamie Ridler Studio.  "What do you wish to read?"  is the question today.  I do book reviews. I'm reading all the time. I've been trying to get a decent book club up for over a year now, which has members that come and go per month.
So what do I wish to read?  Something groundbreaking. Something that reminds me of the best parts of Naked Lunch, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, On the Road.  I see nothing lately but slop that seems like it's the same slop I read the week before. Give me something original that puts it on the same level as things written 60 years ago, or a 100 years ago, or 200 years ago.  Give me the next Frankenstein

  12. I have to say that Gregory Maguire's books "Mirror, Mirror" and "Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister" had me captivated because of his use of historical information interwoven with the ideas we all have of the original stories. They're a bit more brain candy than the books you mentioned, but they're definitely worth the read.

    As you wish for yourself, so I wish for you, also.
