After a really busy week & the half, I finally finished one of the more fascinating books I’ve read in the past few months. The story tells of the few years that Bram Stoker met, obsessed & fostered a friendship with Jack the Ripper. A friendship of which is said to have aided his research into the dark twisted mind of man, & finally inspired him to publish his first novel Dracula.
I picked up Curtains of Blood on impulse while browsing my favourite Horror section in a local bookshop. Personally I found it a bloody (pun intended) good read. But then again it might just be me since I get a high reading about murders, death, darkness, blood drinkers, immortality.
What else can you do if sleep won't come at night? Literature keeps me company.
I received this from a friend the other day, so I've edited it to suit people I work with...
The Best Patient? Five surgeons are discussing which advertising person makes the best patient to operate on.
The first surgeon says, “I like to see Finance Directors on my operating table because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered.”
The second responds, “Yeah, but you should try Art Directors! Everything inside them is color coded.”
The third surgeon says, “No, I really think Copywriters are the best. Everything inside is in alphabetical order.”
The fourth surgeon chimes in “You know, I like Production Managers. Those guys always understand when the job takes longer than you said it would.”
But the fifth surgeon shut them all up when he observed “You're all wrong. General Managers are the easiest to operate on. There's no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains and no spine... and the head and the ass are interchangeable!”
