"Something stupid," I said, doing something stupid and gazing stupidly at Chedward.Uuuuuuuuurgh why are the kleenexes all the way over there? You guys, PITY ME.
And no one wants that. I'm going to take a handful of expired prenatal vitamins, because I'm a mature and responsible adult who only tries to prevent getting sick after I'm sick, and probably do a lot of fetal-position crying. As soon as people stop holding up crosses at the sight of my pale, sickly face, I'll have a recap for you.
Feel better! Sending lots of Kleenex and blankets your way.
ReplyDeleteHope you get better soon.
ReplyDeleteAnd don't worry about the recap being late--we can always read Chapter 1 of The Boss again :D (Probably better for our collective blood pressure anyway.)
Feel better!!! We had the flu here, and it was awful.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry! I have decided to join Jen in reading this dreck that is book 3. NO ONE should suffer this indignity alone! I am on Chapter 4. I just hope i have Jen's courage to FINISH it!
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better!
That looked like a recap to me!
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon. I know the feeling, I was sick earlier this month during my vacation time. Awful.
ReplyDeleteHey you gave us the Boss... GAVE us! Made my week. Recaps can wait. Try to rest and feel better.
ReplyDeleteI've been sick since about Thanksgiving. First a chest thing, then the flu, and I'm still getting over it. It's particularly bad this year!
ReplyDeleteIn lieu of a recap today, I suggest we open the floor for the Best of 50 Shades, and by best, I mean best at being the worst. One of the worst endorsements comes from OPRAH. Yes, she LOVES this series, which means all respect I ever had for her book club has gone out the window. One of the worst positive comments I've read about this series is from one of the members of Boyz II Men who claims, and I quote, in its own paragraph because it's so off the mark,
"It definitely gave me some insight on a woman's thought process behind even the slightest things concerning relationships. For that alone, I think guys can read it and get a better understanding on generally how a woman thinks, considering that the trilogy was written by a woman, it pretty much authenticates the notion."
That's in the official blog.
What are some of the best, er, best at being the worst, things you've seen, read, or heard?
Noooo, Boyz II Men, noooo! It's like the world put its shirt on backwards. I like Alys C's idea.
ReplyDelete'Tis true. :(

And right after, he launched into a long paragraph telling women NOT to go for someone like Christian.
However he did also say, "I started to worry about the psyche of the female readers. Has it gotten that bad out here to find a good man that women have resorted to fantasizing about a dude with deep rooted Psychological problems and an itch to spank your ass with a stick?"
But that doesn't erase that this book has been advocated for men to read to understand women. :(
And am I the only one surprised that Oprah loves and endorses this trilogy? In no way at all does it belong on the shelf with something like Daughter of Fortune, one of her earlier recommendations that was actually fantastic in plot and character development, and well-written.
Well, I suppose you don't need any more misery in your life. Get well soon :-)
ReplyDeleteAmen...reading FSoG while sick might just push you over the edge to hospital or grave. We will wait. Get well soon!
ReplyDeleteOooooooooooh...Right there with ya. Have the flu, even after getting the shot. Feel better and get well soon. Your defenses are far too low right now to deal with 50 shades ass-hattery.
ReplyDeleteNooooooooooooooooo! Does this mean we have to drive to Seattle and interview Christian Grey for the student newspaper?......oh wait......
ReplyDelete(Seriously, rest up and get better!)
"the kind of sick that makes you hate everything except blankets. The kind of sick that makes you yell at your dog and burst into tears because you feel bad for doing so"
ReplyDelete...Isn't that usually how you feel reading that wretched book anyway? ;P
I hope you feel better soon hun. :)
this is good just as a recap! hope you get better!!
ReplyDeleteThis is where it's good that none of us are like Ana, because clearly we'd be hating on you for getting sick and for being too nice about it! Get well soon. :)
ReplyDeleteShrug on your pink pajamas and get well soon.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry you are feeling poorly! The fact that this exists should cheer you up: http://www.amazon.com/Fifty-Shades-Chicken-Parody-Cookbook/dp/0385345224. Checked it out- fucking HYSTERICAL. Note perfect parody, and with good recipes. I mean, Ana is a chicken to her master chef, Fifty Blades! Kate is a ham! Jack Hyde is a sleazy food photographer! It even has her inner goddess and sub conscious in chicken form! There are at least three Holy Craps on the first page! It is just so golden. If nothing else, read for the line "Taters, baby" :D it will banish any sickness and/or blues.
