My brother sent me this. The only mistake they made is they should have had this at the end: "And also starring Alec Guinness." Otherwise he'll throw a fit in his trailer.
And brother is right, this one is really clever:

My day
I had half a work day today--stayed at home and made manager schedules, which requires a high level of uninterrupted concentration. Got 6 weeks worth done.
Feeling very Pleased With Myself I also downloaded the instruction manual for my recumbent bike and figured out how to work it properly, and had a leisurely bike ride while catching up on my news and blog reading.
I intended to go to the bookstore with Fernando tomorrow to shop shop shop, but remembered I'm getting together with old high school friends downtown. Another sushi date!
After having had my many blogs for a couple years now I'm further refining them. I waited to see which ones would naturally work out the best--which turned out to be this one, and the beauty one. I had long ago decided not to spend too much time fiddling with my blogs when I should be writing, but all the agent blogs I read have been talking about the importance of social media. So I'm finally reading up on how to make my blogs a little better, and at some point I'll Twitterize myself.
Then I took a headache pill, took a bath and read the relationship book I'm slowly getting through--it's the best one I've come across.
And then started Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, while Fernando sits at the other end of the couch completely caught up in the Temeraire dragon series (imagine the Napoleonic wars, but with an aerial corp... of intelligent dragons.)
And my final accomplishment: I finally managed, in a matter of minutes, to summarize my current novel in two phrases (for the comments section of a blog I read): "I'm finishing up a classic "fake engagement" romance between a woman whose last fiancé dumped her for being infertile, then toured an award-winning one-man show about it; and the childhood sweetheart who's just reappeared in her life. Story includes poetry theft, a family curse, and gossiping chauffeurs."
As my old and not-loved manager used to say: Amaaaazing.
Now I must abed!
