thursday night was kind of exciting in that an inmate charged me on the tier with a sharpened stick he'd been using to stir paint & I had to wrestle it from him & kick his ass.
actually, he didn't so much "charge" me as "walk towards me" & I didn't so much wrestle it from him as have it handed to me, with a paper towel wrapped around the middle where it was all sticky. & I guess that I didn't so much kick his ass as "thanked him politely"
& I think instead of "kind of exciting" I should've written "pretty fucking dull". (the stick WAS plenty sharp & pointy, tho..for what it's worth).
not much else happened. I DID read most of "A Monk Swimming" by Malachy McCourt, which I enjoyed much, & would heartily to those of you who like yer memoirs chock-full of plenty of boozin' & whorin" with a stiff shot of Blarney.

BLONDE JOKE OF THE DAY:
A blonde decides that she wants a nice pair of alligator shoes & goes to the alligator shoe store inquiring about a pair.
the man tells her that they're ten thousand dollars a pair. plus tax.
"Fiddlesticks!" quoth the blonde, & she leaves in a huff.
later the man is driving home & sees the blonde waist-deep in the swamp, blasting away with a shot-gun, a pile of dead alligators nearby.
"The Hell are you doing?" asks the man.
"Shootin' alligators." she says, & plugs another one.
"May I inquire why?" asks the man.
"It relaxes me." she says.
...not much of a joke, really.

Malachy Mc Court. Sounds like a character's name in an Eco's novel. And he writes memoirs about monk swimming... Probably not still landed on our shores, I can't remember having heard of the book or of its author. But I take notice of your recommendation.
