RBM
At the moment I am reading this mega book - it is 1000 pages, and one big chunk of goodness. What is amazing about this book is the attention that it is attracting. I am actually meeting and having random conversations with strangers because of it. People will just make comments on it:
'Wow, big book... what is it?'
' You look intrigued.. is it any good?'
' Man, a long way to go, hey?!'
I am not kidding. The other day I was in the supermarket and the girl helping to bag the items looked at me like we knew each other. Since I have met alot of people in Montreal, I knew it was a possibility but I could not for the life of me remember who she was. Then she started talking about the book.... ' Are you up to the part where Laurence comes in?' Yes I reply, thats exactly the spot I am in at the moment. ' Great, he is SOOO HOT'.
Well I never would personally have described a character in a book as hot, but ok.
Then this morning, another book power moment on the bus to work. A guy on the other side of the seat starts talking to me about the book, then this leads into an awesome discussion about South Africa where he was living for a few years, and his experiences travelling abroad.
Just the wonderful start that I needed to my day.
SO in honour of the power of this new phenomenon that I have discovered, I am creating a new acronym: RBM
RBM = Random Book Moments
I will be reporting all future RBMs here aswell - who would have thought that an awesome way to meet people was through sitting by yourself and reading a book :-)

i love rbms too... had them a lot when i was in nyc last summer. my all time favorite thing to do was to take a good book to a different park every day, people watch and attract a flock of fellow book lovers.
not too fond of another acronym, though
Hey babe...
RBMs is the best in acronym innnovation :-)
Yeah totally. It is the best, nothing like a good book in the sun and the park.... add some water-beach abd it is PERFECT!

So what book is it??? I don't think its fair that if I don't read your blog for awhile and come back and don't know what's going on, that you expect me to know what you're talking about when in reality its your fault for not letting me know in the first place, telepathically! Those are unreal expectations!!!
Yeah... I like to walk and read to cut down on the rbms, because I don't like it when books come up and interrupt me when I'm deep in a conversation, and vice versa, I don't like people coming up and bothering me when I'm deep in a book. Even then they still bother you, thats why I'm practicing RWD (not the driving) reading while driving... cuts down on the monotony of the trip... I'll stop while I'm substantially behind
Yo Seattle drinking man...
Wow... you ditch my blog for ages, then you come back on claiming you dont know what is going on with what I can only see as aggressive behaviour.
I think what is really happening is that your feelings of inadequacy in the drinking arena, and the knowledge that a girl is far superior is manifesting itself in this rageful posting :-)
But I promise to try and improve my mental telepathy to you... !
Ahhh I am loving RBM but there is a catch... not with people I know. If I know you, and you see me reading... well I can talk anytime... and that time I am reading is me time, especially in the case of a good book - so I concur on that aspect of things.
I am not sure about RWD - it could be a bit dangerous, and if you are going to be earning that mega money as a lawyer, and supporting me with donations, then I need you in one peice :-)
