^ that looks awesome.

finished cats cradle. i still love it... got a lot more out of it this time than i did in junior high.

read the other night, too. it was just a straightforward, academic look at what the word "bullshit" means and what its place in conversation is. (it was wonderful)

now reading golapagos, by the ever-wonderful Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

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 tried to read "Galapagos" and only made it half-way through.  The only Vonnegut novel I started and didn't finish.  Regardless, he's one of the best ever.

Right now I'm (re-)reading:
My house, my rules, my coffee

Slick Shoes


Michael Chabon -- The Mysteries of Pittsburgh

and now i know my racism is innate and i should just die.
The corpses all hang headless and limp bodies with no surprises and the blood drains down like devil's rain we'll bathe tonight I want your skulls I need your skulls I want your skulls I need your skulls Demon I am and face I peel to see your skin turned inside out, 'cause gotta have you on my wall gotta have you on my wall, 'cause I want your skulls I need your skulls I want your skulls I need your skulls collect the heads of little girls and put 'em on my wall hack the heads off little girls and put 'em on my wall I want your skulls I need your skulls I want your skulls I need your skulls
