The BAMF's are meeting tonight to discuss One Hundred Years of Solitude and I am so not prepared! I just got the book last night and have only read 30 pages out of 458! It is a boring book so far and I am having a hard time keeping interested. I keep zoning out and having to re-read the same paragraph over and over again! It sucks! Don't read this one people!

That was the funniest thing I have heard in a long time. I actually laughed out loud, at work!
We do in fact sit around talking, but usually about sex...not kitchens...none of us cook very well!
Well I do trust you are not wasting your supernova beauty and blossoming intelligemce on some unworthy sap. Come to think of it though why not ?A good time and a long time are not always the same thing.
Is a symphony better than the perfect Summer single .
NOT RIGHT NOW
(if ever)
About time I wrote something failntly intelligent on my blog.Been a bit silly lately
One Hundred Years of Solitude - a summary by Mutleythedog
All of the events of One Hundred Years of Solitude take place in the fictional village of Macondo but relate to historical events. The town is founded by José Arcadio Buendía, a strong-willed and impulsive leader who becomes deeply interested in the mysteries of the universe when a band of Gypsies visits Macondo, led by the recurring Melquíades. As the town grows, the fledgling government of the country takes an interest in Macondo's affairs, but they are held back by José Arcadio Buendía.
Civil war (the Thousand Days War) breaks out in the land, and Macondo soon takes a role in the war, sending a militia led by Colonel Aureliano Buendía, José Arcadio Buendía's son, to fight against the conservative regime. While the colonel is gone, Arcadio, his nephew, takes leadership of the town but soon becomes a brutal dictator. The Conservatives capture the town, and Arcadio is shot by a firing squad.
The wars continue, with Colonel Aureliano narrowly avoiding death multiple times, until, weary of the meaningless fighting, he arranges a peace treaty that will last until the end of the novel. After the treaty is signed, Aureliano shoots himself in the chest, but survives. The town develops into a sprawling center of activity as foreigners arrive by the thousands. The foreigners begin a banana plantation near Macondo. The town prospers until a strike arises at the banana plantation. The national army is called in, and the protesting workers are gunned down and thrown into the ocean. At this time, Úrsula, the impossibly ancient widow of José Arcadio Buendía, remarks that "it was as if time was going in a circle".
After the banana worker massacre, the town is saturated by heavy rains that last for almost five years. Úrsula says that she is waiting for the rains to stop so that she can die at last. The last member of the Buendía line, named Aureliano Babilonia (originally referred to as Aureliano Buendía, before he discovers through Melquíades' parchments that Babilonia is his paternal surname), is born at this time. When the rains stop, Úrsula dies at last, and Macondo is left desolated.
Aureliano Babilonia is finally left in solitude at the crumbling Buendía house, where he studies the parchments of Melquíades, who has appeared as a ghost to him. He gives up on this task to have a love affair with his aunt, though he is unsure whether they are related. When she dies in childbirth and his son (who is born with a pig's tail) is eaten by ants, Aureliano is finally able to decipher the parchments. The house, and the town, disintegrate into a whirlwind as he translates the parchments, on which is contained the entire history of the Buendía family, as predicted by Melquíades. As he finishes translating, the entire town is obliterated from the world.
I trust this helps?

Newmania:
I had to look up laudable in the dictionary.
had to look up laudable in the dictionary.
My kinda woman ,I could spend a happy afternoon introducing you to all sorts of new words ( and things). I `ve given the matter conssiderable thought :)
After reading your blog post, you will most likely need to spend an entire day teaching me things! I could probably teach you some things too, I am not just the student!!
Hmmm thought I posted here ...perhaps it was so filthy that I sub-conciously deleted it.
I am not just the student!!
Might be fun to pretend you were though..(or is that just a British thing )
Newmania:
I am totally past the playing school girl/student days...I went to an all girl Catholic High School and got my fill of excitement...no more getting caught in a parking lot with my plaid skirt pulled up!

You have an enticing mouth by the way.
I imagine your voice would be a thoaty melody of honeyed temptation, like being covered in toffee and being licked clean ,sitting naked on the throbbing washing machine.
You could sound like a strangled cat for all I know of course
Desiree:

Newmania:
