Douglas Coupland and Bonbons.

Hi live journal! I promise I’m not going to pretend like I’m making a new effort to post more. I’ve done that several times and I’m probably more tired of writing it than you are of reading it. So yeah, I’ll write something again in a few months, until then it’s back to lurking in comments. But I saw a play tonight and I wanted to sort of

I've read a bit of Douglas Coupland, but he doesn't impress me nearly as much as other people have thought I should have been. But then I would say the same about Will Ferguson. Sometimes the snappy pop-culture response is more cute than deep or actually insightful.

But then, I'm enjoying The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins. There's something about reading the work of a man whom I know is considerably smarter than I am and yet his writing isn't about his brilliance, just the results of him putting those neurons to work.

And nice to see a post from you. We should wreak havoc in WoW some night if you still do that.

We should. I'm glad to see you've relaxed the livejournal curtain a bit too.

I've been having alot of trouble with the pop-culture philosophy lately. Even the once cherished Fight Club has earned my displeasure recently. I went to a lecture by Slavoj Žižek last week and I've been mulling over a lot of his ideas recently, and it's not exactly the stuff of friendly pop-philosophy solutions. I wasn't very familiar with Dawkins, reading him over on Wiki makes him sound like the sort of writer I'd like however; any tips on how to approach his work, good books to start or the like?

I've very much about tearing it up in WoW these days, more than is good for me probably where are you playing these days?

My bad

I shouldn't let C trip out on me - even a thousand miles apart it still happened. But her claiming that I was interfering with N's healing and blah blah blah got to me. That and since she's the Gatekeeper to the kids, I would like to be able to speak to them again.

Anyhoo, enough of that, I either will or won't but either way I'm not going to get sucked into that kind of mind f**king.

So, onto WoW stuff. I have my main - a lvl 28 warlock named Russifer on Scilla. I have a couple of lvl 9's on Dethecus, with the idea of being able to game with you and Agent K. I'm loving the warlock and he mostly grinds okay but I'm a total amateur at the game, learning as I go along so I'm probably not very efficient when it comes to picking the right quests and I know I'm missing goodies because soloing means I can't handle some of them, even the non-dungeon ones.

And Fight Club is an okay place to start thinking about autonomy but it's only a start. So, where are you playing WoW? Do you have a guild you belong to?
