Marquez eats bush and leaves, keada
And now for some levity….
After reading ‘100 years of solitude,’ I decided it was the only book I can ever say that I need AND want to read again. His characters are incredibly crazy and fascinating. I’m not going to give a ‘reader’s digest’ version of it, but I will tell you that it is an amazing and beautiful book.
I also read ‘eats, shoots & leaves,’ but every time I think about the title it reminds me of a dirty joke involving a panda bear and prostitute. The book itself was far too neurotic for my taste, although it did have some good punctuation lessons. I guess I’m a nerd now cause I’m editing and proofing copy so I want to know that stuff.
I’m working as a staff writer for a monthly English-language magazine called ‘Business Today.’ I’ve been pretty busy covering events all week, so I hope I stay busy like this.
Kaeda is my new cat, taken off the street. Cats run Cairo, by the way (eliminating any rat/pigeon problem). Maybe it’s a connection to the ancient regard for cats, or maybe it’s because Muslims can’t pray in the same room where a dog has been, but either way I have a little boy kitty named Kaeda.
That’s a common arabic word meaning, "just like that." Now a "mish-kela" is a problem, or trouble. Since he gets a little rambunctious, I call him mishkela.
I just watched the worst movie. You know how sometimes it’s really late and you nothing else to do but zone out to some crappy 80’s flick? Well I watched "The Best of the Best" and I must say for an awful action drama — featuring Chris Penn in a cowboy hat — some B actor with a pony tail — an Italian stereotype from Detroit — and a nerdy hippie, James Earl Jones really stole the show. I like Ahmad Rashad’s cameo, but JEJ had a big role and it was amazing. It’s as if you put a genius on the cast of the worst film in the world and he ends up being hilarious. It made the movie much more enjoyable.
It’s really late right now. I don’t know if I can continue this blog. Keada is chasing flies and I’m tired. Have you figured out the title of my blog yet? Hint: Marquez is an author
