It's well written, but I'm only 60 or so pages into it.

The first few pages were weird but I like the pacing now. I have a feeling it will get even better.

I have the first Inspector Rebus novel handy, after "Mr Candid".

Rant by Chuck Palahniuk
I came to this world with nothing
and I leave with nothing but love,
everything else is just borrowed.

Fuck it, we'll do it live.

The other side of time, Essays by "The Catskill Geologist"  Robert Titus   An Interesting read by a Geologist who does what I do a lot.  Looks at a rock formation and imagines what the scene would have looked like eons ago.  Sort of like a "dream time".   8)

Just finished the nine hundred page PDF file used as a primer to the further Geek Studies at work.

(took me an excruciating four weeks, because I could only do it on the clock, at work, on their intradork system, with all the distractions inherent to a normal day in a BBy store. No SHIT!)


... but, even though I feel all  "smarty pants and stuff,"  right now, I won't have to fucking dare them to test me. That's the next step.

Jimi Hendrix: When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. 

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

Honestly, on the second day, I had no confidence that I would ever get through this.

It's mostly the basics of the various systems that work all the toys we sell.

Nothing really heavy. It was the multitude of distractions that made it tiresome.
