It will be useful to know that in British English, "blinding" has an additional meaning of something close to "fucking amazing".
Last weekend:
Angelina Jolie is looking damn fine with that eyepatch; I hope that Sky Captain &c. is the next Indiana Jones. I'd settle for some hot Barsoom action, but we need pulpy goodness. MORE PULPY! Chronicles of Riddick was better than I expected....

This past week was somewhat blah.
The book talk for What's the Matter With Kansas? was fun, and the rhetoric was pretty fiery. Check it out on BookTV. There's a chance the camer got a pic of me; I'm the guy on the speakers right, leaning against the pillar.

I would suspect you are correct. I am not the only one...waiting. Indeed.

Indeed, it is not far off the mark from his book, in some respects. The drama is so much more though, but it will be like that in any small, remote mining town. Trapped with people, booze, and boredum. As you can well imagine what can ensue.

I promise, someday, to write about why I don't have a real avatar . But not today. Maybe when I can make it sound like something other than excuse making bullshit.

You can but not name him... I could name him. Or just have a goofy name.
Is there a pre-gen anywhere I can use?

I like to see who I'm talking to. I urge you to consider using a real picture of yourself.
As I was out and about, I saw a book I was expecting soon (the latest from The Millionaire Next Door series). Now I'm reminded to check on Kim Robinson, Richard Florida, and the Kinkster.
Also, I have to call my sister. I've been a slack brother by ignoring a letter she wrote.

My last entry was petty. I checked Powell's out again today, and saw some authors who are going to be at my local independents before they get there, so there's hope for getting JJ's autograph yet, I guess. Huzzah!
Only in Hollywood can an iron weapon/bronze armor culture conduct a massive amphibious invasion and raze a regional superpower in the span of about three weeks....

Oh, and use standard point gen. I know a 15 or 16 as a top score fails to be sexy and exciting, but everyone else will be on the same footing as you and the challenges will suit.

I aspire to be such a fabulous head librarian that I, too, am worthy of an action figure.
I am so jealous of the PDXers. Powell's is hosting Jane Jacobs, a railroad travelogue, and a book on the post oil age on Thursday, Friday and Monday. At least my local is often on TV.
Hey, wait a minute!

Hey, I was gonna "friend" you, thanks!

Agree with your rec of "Your Money or Your Life" in the "financial situation" thread... great book. Have you read "The Millionaire Next Door"? Complementary theme.

Wow. I've just had so much sleep I feel like a new man.
Now I think I'll go clean until the post office opens; I'm expecting a package from A.c.

Not much going on. Monday, I was at this economist's book talk. He predicts a major depression or other shock based on present value calculations of expenses vs. revenues. I found it ominous.

Just apply, friend, and you are in.
