Feedback Friday (But It's Only Thursday, Dork!)

On a lighter note -

I'm not feeling very creative today, so I figured it was a perfect time to try something new. I'm going to need some feedback on this one, so all you non-posting lurkers out there get ready to leave some comments. (Does this idiot actually think there are more than 15-20 people reading this crapola each day? He really is loco.) I've decided that about once a week I'm going to devote one post entirely to catching up on what everyone out there is into - Funny Websites you may have visited lately, good books that kept you up into the wee-small hours anxiously turning pages, awesome (do the young people still use that word?) music that simply must be checked out, a movie that caused you to leave the theatre thinking out loud, or even crazy elements of our society that you feel might make for entertaining future posts.

To steal a line from the colorfully-coiffed, angst-ridden musician Pink, I'll get this party started -

1. Funniest Website Found Lately -

(Thanks to my brother for providing that one. Hey, watch where you swing that gospel axe, Mister!)

2. Best Book I've Read Lately -

"From a Buick 8" by Stephen King. Admittedly, it wasn't his best - but I found it compelling how an entire story could be centered around a car that has special powers. Mr. King is maturing as an author in some noticeable and fascinating ways. He has been writing for so long, that you can essentially watch him grow in the craft as you read his books through the years.

3. Music That I've Been Listening to Lately -

I don't know why, but recently I have really been into soundtrack music from the "Blacksploitation" Films of the 70's. Curtis Mayfield's Superfly is just an amazingly cool song. Great beat and a whole lot of funk slathered on top. Theme from Shaft is pretty good too - I am pretty sure that it won the Oscar that year for best song from a movie. Way to go Bro!

4. Best Movie I've Seen Lately -

Got to be Insomnia - now I know this one is a couple of years old by now, but they played it on TV the other day and I was reminded how fearlessly intense it is. I love the location shots and the ever-tightening layers of plot. If you agree with me on this film, do yourself a huge favor and rent the Swedish (original) version. I think Blockbuster carries it.


Okay - get out there and tell everyone you know to check out the blog and leave a comment. I am really hoping that we can establish this as a weekly opportunity to chime in on what each of us happens to be enjoying. I know that I am looking forward to reading all about what everyone out there has been watching and reading and laughing at.

So, thanks for making the Procrastination Station one of your daily stops . . .
