So I finally gave in and bought myself a copy of the new Bob Barker memoir, Priceless Memories. It cost me a measly $12.04 after I cashed in all of my Shoppers Drug Mart Optimum points. Can say that it was one of my better purchases recently. I spent the whole afternoon reading it from cover to cover. It took me about three and a half hours to do so. It's kind of a short book.
I have to say that I have more respect for the guy since reading the book. The best bits of the book didn't even have to do with his hosting The Price Is Right, or Truth or Consequences. I didn't know this until I read the book, but he was involved with the Air Force during World War II, and he grew up on an Indian reservation. Of course, he also goes into great detail about his love for animals and his work in that regard. Fascinating read.
I've also rented The Spirit and the remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still. Probably won't get around to either of them until tomorrow, as I have Wheel of Jeopardy! (as I like to call them) tonight, and then there's the hockey game on. At least, it'll give me something to do on the weekend.
