Just finished a marathon day with "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince." Wow! I know it's a kids book but it still made me cry. There's a lot of great stuff in there - including an examination of fate that I thought was striking in its brilliance. I won't ruin it for you, but everyone dies and Hermione is raped with a corncob at the end. Oh ( Read more... )

Inspired by Copesounds posts on his summer reading, I felt it might be good to make a suggestion or two in this slot now that I've had some time to do summer reading ( Read more... )

This is a totally shitty thing I'm about to say but I can't help it. That's not true. I can help it. I don't actually HAVE to write this. I was trying to cover myself for being a dickhead and it won't work. It's like when someone says, "I don't want to sound like a racist, but..." you know they are about to say something horribly racist. What ( Read more... )

Have to say that I loved the new Batman movie. That makes me the uber-dork. I just dig the whole Bat thing. I learned to read by watching the old Batman tv show and sounding out "Blammo!" and "Kazam!" I just like that he's a guy with some major personal issues and no super powers. Most superheroes can't turn it off. It isn't really a choice ( Read more... )

I am the uber-dork. I'm now posting a screenshot from my Linux (Simply Mepis 3.3.1) desktop. I suck. But I have been deathly ill for about a week so I haven't been able to do much else. The space station in the lower right hand corner actually spins all the time. How not-cool is that? I can't figure out how to make it not-huge so it is behind ( Read more... )

...and somebody gives a shit. For those who don't have a TV, apparently Rob and Amber are people who played on "Survivor" and then on "The Amazing Race." So the sum total of their life achievements as far as the viewing audience knows is their appearance on a couple of television game shows. I hate everyone and everything ( Read more... )

Happy day!!! A small baby Cooper is born. Her name is Evelyn and she is healthy - wealthy and wise can't be far behind. So anyone who reads this thing stop right now and send a positive thought to parents and child.

Thanks.

I'm reading Ernest Becker's "Denial of Death" and so far a lot of it is wonderful. My highlighter has been going non-stop. But I've hit the point where he is trying to square his premises with Freud and I am about to jump out a window. Am I the only one that remembers my childhood ( Read more... )

Done. That's the most important thing I can say about my first year at law school. I can't believe it is finally over. I gave it everything I had and hopefully that will pan out when I get my grades. At this point I hardly care ( Read more... )
