Art Spiegelman: The Complete Maus: a Survivor's Tale
I've kept meaning to read this one, and got it for Xmas this year. I should have read it years ago.
Neal Stephenson: The System of the World (The Baroque Cycle, Vol. 3)
Neal Stephenson: The Confusion : Volume Two of The Baroque Cycle (Baroque Cycle)

Picked the hardcover up second hand. Took a long time to read. Now I have to find the next two...

OK, John D. Macdonald is a guilty pleasure

This one goes out to all the soldiers in Bush's army that have been back door drafted

Here Comes the war

It ain't coming, it's here
A Twisted Sense Of God Pt. 1
Fine Arts Militia: Fine Arts Militia
Yeah, f**k the religious right and the horse they raped on the way in.

Originally written about Great Britain, taken by Canada as a second national anthem, I wonder if any english speaking Iraqis are cranking this up in their basement... (*****)

Just discovered my friend Jenn has a blog: just the way i am -- take me or leave me
Just thought I'd share. Mildly amusing.
Judge Orders FBI to Release Abuse Records:
This will be fun to watch as it plays out.
You may have noticed that my posts have been pretty infrequent recently. Where have you been you may have (not) asked?
Well, forums mostly. SkyscraperPage, Vibrant Victoria, and Connect2Edmonton, EnMasse, as well as some hobby sites. And also Facebook and Last.FM.
So if you want to know what I'm doing, that's where you'll find me. :)
When I have more time to write lengthy thoughts I'll probably post here more frequently....
I'm just curious about how easy it is to link something from YouTube:
We'll see. ;)
Just adding a bit of google juice to this post. Robert Anton Wilson needs help.
I credit a lot of my political beliefs to reading the Illuminatus trilogy at a young age. Well, that and John Brunner's stuff and a few others.
I've owned at least twelve copies of the Illuminatus trilogy over the years, as well as several copies of some of his other books. If you got the book from me, now is the time to pay the author.
As the title says, I've been buried in work. The efforts of getting the store opened left me a wee bit behind in paperwork. Now I've got to dig myself out of a whole lot of paper. Yecch.
At least it keeps me from getting too lonely. I miss Lara!!! It sucks being a province away from the woman you love. Not to mention all the pets.
I'm slowly making this place more homey. Lara did come out for a week, and that helped too.
Oh, and I've discovered a cool music site. Last.fm seems to be the reincarnation of a site I played with years ago. It's a cross between a social networking site and a music reccomendation site and a group radio station. Too cool!
