That's what I told someone. That I'm the beginning of it all. Haha.

I almost bought that thing yesterday. Anyone here read it? Sure, I hear good things about it, but I prefer reviews from people I know.

Finished it. Closed the book. Opened it and started reading it again.

AWESOME.

Don't ask KF, he don't much care for it.

On this site, I don't think anyone's favored it thus far.

Er.. Nevermind.

I know a few people who love that book; people I trust when it comes to fiction.

S'okay if people here hate it, I just need to know which ones. So far this is turning out to be the next book I buy. ;)

Yeah, I think that's actually going to be the next book I read, muchly* due to Scar and bac0n's gushing recommendation. And the fact that zombies kick ass.

*Yes, "muchly." Shut-up.

I had strep throat which turned into a bronchial infection. It lasted about 10 days.

So, get well soon everyone, and hope that doesn't happen to anyone else here, and they are simply common colds (which still suck, but ya know).

The story is sort of told through all these encounters she has with his old friends and wife and stuff. And then it's also about like SOCIETY and SELF and big themes like that. But, you know, with nuance and complexity. Hopefully.

I must've read a different book....

I actually know someone at my workplace who's trying to make a zombie film. I think that's rather awesome.

Cool, awesome that you're writing it.

So I found a dog on the street twelve days ago and my girlfriend and I were taking care of it. It was adorable. It's a bichon frise. It was always standing up on it's hind legs, hugging you with it's paws when it saw you, sleeping on it's back, etc. So yeah, finally got in touch with the owner who came tonight and took it back. *tear* Twelve days may not sound like much but we were pretty inseparable that entire time. Doing the right thing sucks.

Wow, nothing but lost puppies and teeny boppers acting like idiots. Way to bum me out, Random Thoughts Thread.

I find three hours to be kind of a nice, peaceful drive. I actually kind of enjoy long drives like that. Time to think and look at landscapes and stuff.

Anything above ten hours and I start to hate it.

I don't know if you should be behind a wheel if three hours suddenly jumps to ten...

No, not really.

By the way, today I have discovered that I cannot say the word "condensation." It keeps coming out "condescension." I'm trying to talk about HVAC maintenance, and I sound like an idiot.

Side note, I also can't say the word "Marlboro" and I have a little trouble with "pedagogy."

Reaching the plateau in everyday internet use is really bad... I have about a dozen websites I check regularly, and once I'm done with all of them, it's time to check them again. It's a vicious cycle.

I can't say "architecture." It always comes out "archi-texture."

Every night at my store, we drive the cash and check sales over to our local bank in a deposit envelope and put it in a giant drawer that cranks closed and drops the deposit inside the bank. Yesterday, while making the nightly deposit for my store, someone else left their deposit in the drawer (without cranking it closed), and the envelope was sticking out for anyone to grab. Out of curiosity, I checked the envelope (because the deposit has to be written on the envelope, that way if there's a discrepancy the bank can call and clear it up) to see what was being deposited. $4,000 in cash. J. Simons is very lucky I'm a nice, fairly ethical guy.

It would be cool if you were being taped and it was a psychology experiment.

Man, though, I don't miss dropping off cash deposits for various jobs. It always made me nervous.
