Return of Rabit

The most empathetic character I have come across in literature lately is Harry "Rabit" Angstrom from John Updike's Rabbit series. What a hillarious personality that guys has, don't be led to think he's a funny ha ha character, Kate would in all likellyhood despise and be sickened by him for example, but he makes me chuckle non-stop.
I'm reading Rabbit Redux right now and came across this quote where Rabbit, a former highschool basketball star is thinking about his son who is kind of squat and unathletic (Rabbit also somewhat begrudges his 13 year old son because he often mistakes him, out of the corner of his eye, for a strange woman in their house due to his build and shoulder length hair)
"How can I get the kid interested in sports. If he's too short for basketball, than baseball. Anything, just to put something there, some bliss, to live on later for a while. If he goes empty now he won't last at all because we get emptier."

Randy 'Fat Gut' Furby is the worst thing to fall upon Canadian sports in decades. He makes me so angry and I am not even passionate about curling. They gave up 3 in the tenth to the Us yesterday for another loss (Ferby was at 66%, pathetic, my dad would of been like at 52% and he curls three times a year and even though they beat the Fins Fat Gut was at a team low again of 79%). What a joke skip, I would take the ghost of Sandra Shmurler over him any day. Canada, the favorites, sit at 3-2.

Ben Folds new album Songs for Silverman is solid. Its worth stealing.
