I'm not even going to pretend to be deep.

I'm reading this week's Entertainment Weekly! It's Gemini Cricket's Magazine Time, girls!

Soon, €, you will be doing double takes when you hear lines in movies like "Level 5, cell block AA 23." Conspiracy theories indeed.

heh heh as a Freshman in college I had a roommate who would go on at length about "23" and the illuminati - perhaps now, I will come to understand him a bit better.

Hey, me too! And no, you won't understand him any better. A much more likely result is understanding yourself a little less.

Hehe. Chris, meet Chris. I'll have to at least skim a copy to refresh me so I can talk to you on this one. All hail Discordia!

Sadly, I'm coming here to post because I'm really not liking Thus Spoke Zarathustra. I do love a flow-of-thought style, but not on and on and on. I am continually confused as to what the Nietzsche believes and what he is making fun of and what he's stating sarcastically. I was really enjoying the other writings, but Zarathustra is making my eyes glaze over.

I now remember that the same thing happened to me the last time I tried to read it. Even the notations aren't helping much.

I just might have to skim Z and read the rest. Sorry €, I tried! I do love the other works though.

heh heh, he is better in small doses. He's not terribly linear, but I tend to like that about his writing.

Been on a reading jag. All fun and non-serious.

Susan Isaac's Anywhere I Hang My Hat. Cute.

Al Franken's Lies and the Lying Liars, etc. Snort! I can see why conservatives HATE his guts.

I want this guy on my side. What a frustrating blow-hard! I looooved this book.

I read two Dan Brown books this week.....Deception Point. Eh. And Digital Fortress. Double eh. DF felt like it wanted really bad to be a movie starring Monica Potter and that older guy on Lost.

I'm 1/3 of the way through Sammy's Hill by, don't laugh, Kristen Gore. She writes in a very appealing ADD style with thought tangents that EERILY mirror my own. I've been cracking up non-stop. She reminds me of EH. I'm very much enjoying it. The main character even idolizes and fantasizes about Steve Martin! She thinks he's a genius!

It's so not a deep-thought book, but damn, it's good stuff. Better than Bridget Jones so far, methinks. But I'm only 1/3 of the way in. I believe Kristen Gore and I are probably twins separated by birth and four years.....and not just because I once told my dad that I'd rather have Al Gore for a father than him. It was the cruelest thing I could think of at the moment.......and perhaps rang more true than I knew......

We saw Mt. Shasta once. I heard they live there.

I am on my catalog jag again. I have 2 stories left in the Augusten Burroughs book and I just can't take the time to finish it. Part of that was my flu from hell, then I just got out of it. I have a new book on the way (like there's nothing to read here

). But, I need to see what J Crew has in store for spring and what Eddie Bauer has that I can exchange my pants for. The catalogs come in droves daily. I can't help it!
