Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov, (1955)
A book about a pedophile obsessed with fucking twelve-year-old girls. I got half-way through. The first half was about him trying to get the girl, actually marrying Lolita's mother in order to get near the girl. That part was okay. But once he got the girl, well, it got boring after that. No, there weren't any sex scenes, but it was depressing enough as it is. While it was well written, the last half really sucked ass as it becomes a dismal tour of American tourist traps and motels.

Lennon's Last Words
Yoko breaks silence to reveal Lennon's last words
By Andrew Johnson
Published: 10 June 2007
For 40 years Yoko Ono has kept a silent dignity in the face of global vilification meted out by legions of Beatles fans.
But today, in an emotional interview, she reveals the last words her husband John Lennon uttered moments before he was gunned down on a New York street in 1980 by Mark Chapman.
"I said 'shall we go and have dinner before we go home?' and John said 'No, let's go home because I want to see Sean before he goes to sleep'," Ono, 73, told Kirsty Young on 'Desert Island Discs'.
Young then asked Ono if Lennon had said anything after he was shot, to which she replied in almost a whisper: "No."
Ono, a conceptual artist, admitted that she would never be more than "the wife of an ex-Beatle".
Choosing Edith Piaf's "Je Ne Regrette Rien" as one of her discs, she added: "I regret nothing, too."

Mojito
Today I spent the morning fixing many things at a new business customer. It went well. I don’t know if you’ve seen those Bacardi mojito recipe commercials, where everybody’s real cool and everything, and there are lots of hot women dancing around all sexy-like. Anyhoo, I made one of those drinks, and they are pretty tasty. A forbidden Lambada style dance party didn’t erupt in my house, but it is a cool drink on a hot day.
Otherwise, I have nothing to report.
Oh, did you see this?
