Boldog születésnapot Zsa Zsa, Happy Birthday Chuckie D.

February 8th, 2012 at 12:57 am

Even though I'm losing a potential point from a Dead Pool, happy birthday to Zsa Zsa Gabor. I'll cook a Hungarian dish in honour of 95th bd.

And happy birthday to birthday boy Charles Dickens.
I already read Pickwick Papers, that's worth a year of Dickens right there. Can you imagine a one-semester course on Dickens? "Here, read Pickwick Papers, Barnaby Rudge, Bleak House, Our Mutual Friend, Dombey and Son. I'll have more reading for you next week."

Received money back from CenturyLink. Spouse and I went to a diner in Ballard with the proceeds. I like going to diners with my spouse because we're in the straddle between hipsters and old farts, and both camps like diners.

Which would be heavier reading: Dickens novels or divorce documents concerning Zsa Zsa Gabor?

    and how about a Dickens' quiz with things like: Name all the characters in this book and draw up a chart to show how they're related. Trollope's got better plot control. Hope you had something splendid at the diner. I'm on a life-long search for best hashbrowns with an additional award for any kind of breakfast potato.

    I had peace and quiet at the diner: no hopped-up-on-sugar kid, no neurotic-barking-at-flickering-shadows-45-times-a-day dog. That was splendid.

    I once took a novels course that included Dickens but the book assigned was Great Expectations.

    Another assignment was Tom Jones -- a BIG book. I didn't get through it for the class but read it all later. It was great fun! (And yes, I know it was not written by Dickens -- I'm just getting sidetracked!)

    I thought about this: 3 yrs ago I wished another Chuckie D. (Darwin) a happy birthday. What's with the famous Charles in February in the early 19th century?

    @baselle you and I, we think a lot alike with our Aquarian Chuckie Ds! I had to put something English in the heading so no one would think I was a nonsense spammer and delete my blog. More politically correct to herald Mr. Dickens' bicentennial than, oh, the bicentennial of the War of 1912...
