Most recently, I have perused the omnibus titled 'The Founding,' about an Imperial Guard regiment known as the Tanith First-and-Only. I truly enjoyed this... Cor, to heck with that. I finished writing book reviews in Junior High. Suffice to say, if you like the universe, or Sci-Fi books about war, consider picking this one up. Because sometimes you just have to ask yourself "How does one fight an indestructible being that moves faster than time?"

But he talks about it's awesomeness very much.

So far the events have covered about three days, half the staff have been fired and I am being amused by the character from Helsinki. Everything we do is a choice. Oatmeal or cereal, highway or side streets, kiss her or keep her, we make choices and we live with the consequences. If someone gets hurt along the way we ask for forgiveness, it's the best anyone can do. A blog: http://michaeljritchie.livejournal.com/ Fran: You know, in Tibet, if they want something, do you know what they do? They give something away. Bernard: Do they? Do they? That must be why they're such a dominant global power.

Three different versions by Sophocles, Anouilh and Brecht. The first two are brilliant but I don't think that I will ever get used to Brecht's style of theatre... the characters come out as mere ciphers rather than emotional human beings. Somehow, this is connected to his Marxist philosophies but... he just reduces human beings to a scary level of unimportance.

Hard Times is, well, a Charles Dickens book so I won't expand on it. But "Habibi" is quite good so far. It's written by a woman who I originally discovered to be a poet, as my mom loves poetry, and reads it quite a lot and told me to get the book because that was her favorite poet, well, she didn't exactly tell me to, just suggested it. So I got it. And it really is quite good! It's written in such a way that even if the story was bad, you would want to keep on reading it anyway for everything else that she adds into it.

I forgot how fascinating 'Original Tao' was - the evidence is pretty clear that the Tao Te Ching was actually not a foundational document people assumed. OK, I'm the only one who got excited about it.

I just got through an article on The Crying Boy Urban Legend, and that of the Vegetable Lambs, along with some interesting UFO reports that include a description of someone apparently experiencing a blast of force to or from his testicles.

"In the beginning the Universe was created. "This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."

Just for reference. ~ Wolfgang Kaiser, Zeppelin Vigilante ~ "Kidnapping Nubile Victorian Ladies Since 1867"
