I don't have a whole lot of faith in humanity.. people just seem so selfish, so uncaring. As an example I see every day, my peers do what I call 'information hoarding'. If you ask them a (school related) question, they'll try their best to answer without really telling you anything. Like, they don't want to share any knowledge in an attempt to stay ahead...

I finished Spaceland by Rudy Rucker awhile ago... excellent fun fiction for math geeks. 
The plot follows a guy and his adventures in the fourth dimension... all the characters are super hip techie geeks (if that makes sense - yanno, dot commers and all that). Yes yes, the great characters was one of my favourite things about Spaceland... but by far the BEST is the...

Wish you were on here more, pixie...but then there are the people with busy lives versus the hopeless addicts who log on 3-6 hours a day...which umm, I don't know anything about!
Today at work, I skipped the mystery section in Publisher's Weekly again, n was thinking of you. Let's have less genre fiction and more wide-open-to-imagination fiction...

It'll be here soon...til then, brew up some super-black tea and take the time to zone out when you can.
Old people have such vile taste in books. Old women in particular.
I mean, Sue Grafton? Harlequins?
When I'm old I'm going to take my walker to the library and check out Kafka. Or The Joy of Sex.

maybe you could turn old people on to some new books...you could pass out copies of the joy of sex to every old person you see...
what are you reading now?
right now im reading through two books, the book of the new sun..a trilogy set in the future with a dying sun crammed into one big book. and the necronomicon..a book written either a possessed arab or by hp lovecraft, supposedly no one knows for sure who wrote it.

crazybob works in a book store. The store was mad at the amount of books that were being stolen (by the public). Solution? Drug test the employees!
I work in a library...which means I sign people up for the internet. Not many questions on books. To be fair, my recommendations would probably be too obscure for people, and I'm online a lot...but I wish more of these people would read some books.
I dunno if Sue Grafton sucks, but I hate to read mystery reviews at work; they usually are very formulaic and blend into each other.

I woke up at around 4am this morning, and went upstairs (basement dweller 
) for a glass of water. While making my way up the stairs, my eyes started to water, but I was still too sleepy to realize why...

There's nothing like checking the same diary entry for five days in a row to make you feel like a SG addict!
It is unbelievably gross to see a super dirty person on the bus. It makes you wonder: before I got on, was s/he sitting here? Hmm.. even if not, who knows who was?!
Then I feel bad. What if the person is homeless, so doesn't have access to a shower, and panned all day to get bus fare to visit their dying relative? Wait.. is...

yes, very well said, disgusted is the right reaction.

Don't miss public transportation at ALL... aside from the hygeine issues... there always seemed to be one or two of the "Religion Conversionists" on the bus... trying to get everyone to switch to their skewed view of how the universe works...
I used to be *such* a night owl. I always loathed the fact that my classes started at 9am in highschool... dragging myself out of bed before noon was a pain.
But in the last few months.. something happened. It totally flip flopped, and not I get sleepy early and am most productive at insanely early hours.
For example, last night I was trying to...

I was going to comment, but then I remembered... I'm just over a year away from being 40... there's not a damn thing premature about my aging...
Snow... everywhere. *shudder*
I had friends over Saturday night. We chatted, listened to music, drank, argued about everything as per usual (the night's main debate was religion - dangerous topic
) and ate little vegan muffins with twice the chocolate chips that the recipe called for.
I've started to realize just how much more fun I have when I'm not really drunk.

I got a pretty green jeweled barbel shoved through my navel today. I adore it! I've always thought it was one of the sexiest piercings, so naturally it was one I wanted for myself..
Simon at Living Colour was awesome. I recommend Living Colour to all you Ottawa-folk. (That, and One!) I handle pain pretty well, and wasn't especially nervous, so it went pretty...

i think you should name your piercing 'Emerald' after the pretty green jewel you had her christened with. No doubt when its healed, you'll be changing jewellery now and again, and i think Emerald would be a nice reminder?
but as to the bigger theme of whether people are creeps? Um, plenty are. When I saw Susan Sontag on Book TV, she said there was the 10% who are exceptionally good, the 10% who are exceptionally evil, and the 80% of us inbetween who have to watch which types we let sway us.
