something exciting

I just discovered this exciting place BookCrossing.com.

You take books you've read, and "release them into the wild" after you've registered them. So like you take a book that you loved, write a little review on it, get a number and write it in the book and then leave it somewhere (a coffee shop, the bus, on the steps to a museum, on a plane whatever) and then post where you've left the book at the website. It sounds so cool! I'm gunna have to go check the books I've got at home, maybe they'll like being released...

The Mole

Well, I've just watched this evenings episode of The Mole. And now all I can say is that I'm twice as confused as ever. I can't say that just because Bill handed over the dossier to Anderson Cooper that he's the Mole. Because if I was in the same position I quite possibly would have done the same thing. I mean really, you didn't get that far in the game not having SOME idea of who the Mole is. Reading the dossier could have possibly confirmed your suspicions but at the same time it could confuse you even more. Then there's the whole fun of winning without having seen a dossier and if you win you get an extra $100,000. I do still suspect Bill and either way, whether it's a girl who is the Mole or the guy I think it's cool that there's two girls this time in the final round. But I'm totally annoyed that I've got to wait until NEXT WEEK to learn the final outcome!
AAAAAARRRRRUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!

bus ride home

Left my book on my desk... got stuck in sideways seat on new bus (cold) where feet stick out into aisle.
Chick in the seat next to me sat jabbering on the phone. Cute-ish dude gets on bus, pulls out his phone and blocks the aisle while he mumbles on the phone. A skinny guy with a book says, "excuse me" to Cute-ish Phone Dude and Dude doesn't move. So Skinny Book Guy pushes roughly past Cute-ish Phone Dude and Dude gives him a look like, "excuse you!"
Chick keeps jabbering.
Fashionable Girl tries to get past Cute-ish Phone Dude by politely saying, "excuse me" Dude doesn't move. She says it again, nothing. And one more time in that, hey-asshole voice we all use. He moves and she gets past. I wonder what it is about Cute-ish Dude that makes Fashionable Girl not want any part of her body to touch his. Is it the fact that he's rude and wont move or the fact that he's just another guy on the bus and she doesn't find him cute-ish like I do?
Hairy Chested Overly Fashionable Man kicks my feet as he pushes past someone. Am I that much of a nothing that he wont even acknowledge that I'm here much less apologize for kicking at me? Other people continue to kick at my feet without apologizing. What is it with me that they wont even look my way? There is nowhere for my feet when sitting in this crappy seat and I am tormented by not having my book as well as having people keep kicking my feet, I'm so happy now...
Chick finishes her useless call and starts another, "can you sew? like on a machine?" she suddenly realizes her stop is coming up and moves VERY SLOWLY to get to the back door. The bus has stopped and continued on by the time she stands. She makes her way to the door and pulls the emergency handle. This whole time she's still talking on this pointless phone call. (hey...GET OFF THE PHONE!)
The bus continues on....I get home before Everybody Loves Raymond for the first time ever and realize the show is just as boring from the beginning.
Now there is nothing on, and my book is at the office. *sigh*

Could it be true?! Do aliens exist? What does it all mean? I think it's time to go to bed and say a prayer for the first time since I was a wee babe....
