...

I keep trying to come up with new and interesting titles for my blogs. It's not happening today. I can't seem to come up with anything creative at the moment. I want to say "huh" or "hhmmmm" or "so freakin bored out of my mind that I can't figure out what to do..." But none of those are really fitting for today. So I think I will just stick with nothing.

Speaking of boredom... I have been reading at work lately. I started "The DaVinci Code" on Sunday and am about halfway through it. I read it for most of the afternoon on Sunday - but I pretty much read yesterday. Except when I was goofing off, or taking an extra long lunch to go to Chipotle. I was VERY excited to learn about Chipotle finally coming to Seattle. I have missed that particular restaurant more than any other. I can't tell you how much I miss the Mexican food from back home. Mexican food isn't the same here. It didn't help that the last year I lived in Denver was in a mostly Hispanic neighborhood. There were at least 10 little mom and pop places within a 5 minute drive, and every one of them was good. Oh... I miss that!

So... Back to the DaVinci Code... It is an interesting read so far. I have heard that people just aren't able to put the book down and that it makes them re-think things that they have known. One person told me that it will "Change my life forever." I will have to finish the book before I make any real comments, but so far I'm not surprised, I have been able to put it down and there isn't anything in it that would change my life. A lot of the information presented is something that I have know all along. I keep waiting to be shocked by some different and interesting information. Maybe it comes at the end. Don't get me wrong - the story itself is very good. It's a bit of a historical mystery set in France. There are lots of twists and turns and the usual bad guy out to get the good guy. The writing is good, not too elementary, but not too complicated. I am still reserving judgment though.

Of course there are only a few books in my life that have really changed it. And one or two made me re-think the entire pattern of my life. And only one book, that I can think of, made me really and truly question my beliefs. And it wasn't the Bible. It was a Stephan King novel. In fact, I can honestly say that Stephan King has been the most profound literary influence on my life. The man makes me think about things.

Well... I guess I should get back to reading. A few people have already called in sick today, so I have a feeling it's not going to get any more exciting than the usual... I'll just start reading my book and hope that I have enough brain power to talk to people if they actually stop by!
