I just realized that I never posted a few days ago when I finished Reading Simulacra: Fatal Theories for Postmodernity. So, yeah, I did. It was interesting, but seemed to dragged on at certain parts. You can tell it heavily influenced The Matrix.
Jason Scott is on the last episode of Radio FreeK America, 99.
2600 came today. I have next week off. Ice skating tomorrow.
So the Winter edition of 2600 is out. Some people have already recieved them, I have not. Hopefully sometime this week.
New Firebird, too. They renamed it to FireFox http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/
I finished reading Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas last night. That’s a damn good book, in an LSD-induced sort of way. I Think the New York Times Book Review quote on the back does a good job of summing it up
The best book on the dope decade.
Speaking of the back, here’s the excerpt they put on it:
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half-full of cocaine and a whole galaxy of multicolored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls... But the only thing that worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible than a man in the depths of an ether binge...
I can’t wait to see what traffic Google is going to send my way because of that quote.
But, yeah, good book. And short. So read it.
I finished Selected Stories of Philip K. Dick last night. It’s a very good, highly recommended book. My favorite story is the Electric Ant. Go read it.
I’m addicted to the Requiem for a Dream theme.
Yesterday was a snow day. It was fun. I went over to Tina’s (yeah, driving was fun). We had a snowball fight (although the snow didn’t pack), went sledding (curbs hurt), watched Ice Age (strange movie), and played Lunch Money (a card game where you beat up christian school girls and steal their money). When I finally left I had to scrape my windshield, but it was raining so as soon as I scraped a spot it would freeze over with ice again. Oh well. It was dark so I ended up just looking for tail lights and, well, I’m still alive.
School is cancelled again today because of the ice. I’m just laying in bed with my laptop. Quite enjoyable, actually. It doesn’t look like I’ll be driving anywhere today (not quite ready to die yet).
