"As a matter of fact I only work with the feeling of something magical, something seemingly significant. And to keep it magical I don't want to know the story involved, I just want the hypnotic effect of it somehow seeming significant without knowing why." - Len Lye

Hey, nipples!  Nipple, anyway.


Started reading:


It's basically an examination of the theory that the lost continent of Atlantis existed on what is now Antarctica, with ideas ranging from earth crust displacement to ice ages to global placement of sacred sites to ancient prophecy.  Somewhat less crazy than Von Daniken, and almost as fun.

Obviously what you are doing right now is called (in my upcoming book of psychology at least) validation. I think it's a normal thing to do. People will reply, say anything, and then you're gonna do what you were subconsciently thinking of doing all along.

I just started reading it (first few pages).   I'll let you know what I think as soon as I get a little further through it.

I'd recommend it.  It's told with a lot of passion... when it's dirty, it's gritty and raw... when it's romantic, it is gorgeous and beautiful.

It was just okay.  At points,  I felt that Steve Martin was spending too much time explaining things; he didn't leave much for the audience to figure out themselves.  I wasn't emotionally invested in the characters, either.  I didn't like how he explained exactly what every character was thinking; it took away from the story.  However, it was a quick read and had a few cute moments.
