Some INTERNET CONTAGION OR SOMETHING from artyste. I'm too lazy to put it in my own words, so here's his ( Read more... )

I swear the timekeeper at work is trying to get me killed. I get scheduled every day that drunk drivers can be expected in droves: New Years', St. Patrick's Day, and now... today. Yes.

In other news, I've begun reading Roger Zelazny's Lord of Light.

[X] = Read It.
[-] = Refuse to read it.
[L] - Local library has it.

Chandler's library actually has a lot more of these than I thought they would, but most of the ones they're missing are they ones I'm more likely to like (50s and 60s era stuff).

Doncha just love people who think freedom of speech only applies to people they agree with?

(I should probably note that I don't know the origin of this story; some co-worker who shall remain nameless (mostly because I don't know who it was) printed it out with no URL and put copies of it on the lunchroom tables.)

Ah, pointless discussions about the Deus Ex movie in production. (I'm "Target Practice" there, in case you were wondering.)

Bottom line: Do you think it's worth the $22 a month for someone who only has a GBA?

I wish there were some way short of plastic surgery to get rid of crow's feet. As I got up this morning, the first thing I thought upon looking in the mirror was something along the lines of, "Jebus, I look like a fucking stoner ( Read more... )

So, uhm. Seems the upcoming WoT book is going to be called "The Knife of Dreams". I think Jordan is running out of "Concrete Object of Abstract Objects" titles. I mean, come on. The KNIFE OF DREAMS? How about "The Brooch of Fear"? Or maybe "The Garden of Triteness"? You just know he's setting this up to be another pointless quest that will extend a ( Read more... )

- I'd been trying to read T.H. White's The Once and Future King, but it had taken me two or three weeks just to get through the first two books. I've put it to the side in favor of a collection of short stories by Poul Anderson. I'll try to go back to it after that. If I still can't get into it, then I think I'll continue my quest to read every ( Read more... )
