how old is punk? and is she neutered? i have two male rabbits and if you ever wanted to breed punk, i definatly have the resources for you.

My rabbits have considerably rediculous names that i didn't give them, smudge and smooch. I thought about changing them, cause if you already didn't know, rabbits are considerably less intelegent than dogs, and really don't communicate on a command level.

that's a rather good haul, i have yet to read a clock work orange, i hear it is good.

How did you get food poisoning? and are you getting better?

She's six weeks. And she's a Netherland Dwarf, so she won't get bigger than she is now.

I don't know if you know this, but never feed her anything remotly related to cabage. it will make her very ill.

You'll have to tell me how Yorke's solo stuff is, I haven't heard it yet but I really like Radiohead. Did you like Capote as much as I did?

[judiasmaximus]

It's very much like Kid A/Amnesiac. The only organic sounds on the album are Thom's voice and a moment of electric guitar. (I call the guitar organic because it had to have been played by a human, everything else is electronic.) It's quite good, very subtle. For a reference, it sounds much like "Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box."

Those are some awesome books. :)

I've already started Pynchon, but of course it's slow going!

I'm about to order The Waves from Amazon, I'm really excited about reading it.

I am not going to lie to you, The Waves is really hard to read. It's super interesting and cool but holy crap. It takes some energy and time to even vaguely understand what's happening. (I realize now that as I am typing this that everything will probably make perfect sense to you and that you will think that I am really stupid for saying this.) It's absolutely worth the read but, I just want to suggest reading a page or even pages more than once if you're not sure that's happening. I did it a few times. It's worth it.
I had to write a paper on it so I made damn sure that I knew what I was talking about, so it's a bit of a different situation. Still, I'd even go so far as to say that it's an older version of House of Leaves without the codes.
I don't know what I'm saying.
Enjoy the book, I know you will.

I sometimes think of my reading choices as sustained aerobics. Masochistic? Mayhaps.
