Naughty book meme

My last post was a book meme and in the comments Mr. Bingowings insinuated that my Danish languaged book was a Ho-mance novel. It wasn't, but rather the book which the Oscar nominated movie Precious, something Push by Sapphire was based on. I have to say, the title makes me want to gag. Anything with a title that annoying gets on my 'I'm not doing that - ever!' list. The fact that the woman who gave us Glitter, Wisegirls and a whole bunch of albums which mostly are just vocal range exercises stars in the movie. Well, let's just say it isn't helping the matter. I'm about half way through it, so look out for it in an upcoming book update.

Well, I take what Mr. Bingowings said as a bit of a dare. So I found the two books with the juiciest page 123 and I thought I'd pick the dirtiest, so be warned, this is all male handyman sex.

1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages)

Well, as mentioned I didn't pick the book nearest me, but rather the one with the raunchiest page 123.


There was a whole debate going on about the tie issue in the photo, started by our very own Tim who thought it was a bit unpractical. But I ask you this, Tim. If you saw a woman in just knickers and a tie. What would you say to that eh? Still unpractical, or just unbelievably hot?

2. Open the book to page 123

Will is trying to seduce his handyman Jack. He has gotten him to lie on his bed for a massage.

3. Find the fifth sentence

His eyes still locked on Will's face, he slid the denim down his things and calves.

4. Post the next three sentences

He was wearing dark blue cotton boxer shorts. Loose as they were, they couldn't quite hide the obvious erection poking against the fabric. Will's mouth actually watered and he had to swallow to keep from choking.

Ok. So it isn't really that naughty, but if you are feeling frustrated you could always buy the book on amazon.co.uk but if I were you I'd hold out for the Sci-Fi series - Hot sweaty manlove of the interplanetary kind - of My Fair Captain and the Englor Affair both by J. L. Langley.

How to do....stuff!

A while ago I went out and bought new furniture. You see, since I moved in here in December last year I've been missing a lot of stuff. Coffee tables, a rug for under my dining room table and a desk and chair for my office/guest room. All I had in my office/guest room was one of those sofas that you can pull out and it becomes a bed (let it be noted that it's a rubbish one and I'm thinking of buying a new one).

I didn't have a desk and chair because I threw out the old one when I moved. The reason, it was ugly. So the search went on to find some kool and affordable furniture and since I've been to Ikea - one of the most horrid experiences of my life, I ended up at Ilva. Lovely shop, nice furniture well at least the Danish branches I've been to. Still buying stuff from Ilva means you have to assemble it yourself but how hard can it be assembling a desk and chair? It certainly couldn't be a nightmare... could it?



Attach bracket C to bracket B using screw 8. Well I have already used bracket C and there never were any screw 8. Screw you! Of course once the metal structure was assembled it was a hoot to dance in. I got to do Physical, Human Nature and 9 to 5. You have no idea how much cardboard, flamingo (I like the Danish word for polystyrene), plastic and assorted wrapping there was left over once it was done. It was a nightmare. I had a choice, either throw it out over my mock balcony or carry the 4 loads down through the basement, one at a time. Naturally I went for door number 1 saving 3 trips through the less than charming basement.

It turns out it wasn't all for nothing, it does look fabulous.



Turns out, I'm a little bit handy with a screwdriver, and oh boy I felt manly when I was done. I almost craved a beer, so naturally I made myself a pink cocktail. I'm all better now.
