MAN, it is painful to have to keep spelling after you get so many wrong. I ended up in 3rd place. Robert was once again victorious, good job Robert.
The guy from Everclear was there, which was slightly surreal like a boring dream. I got 3rd place and a drink ticket.

April 27, 2010I wasn’t reading a lot.. and now I am. It’s bringing up a lot of un-read book guilt and this is what it looks like. I am nearly done with Perelandra by C.S. Lewis after reading a whole lot of it on the plane back from California this evening and so I know decision-making time is nigh.
These are my upcoming book options (alphabetical by author):
How the Irish Saved Civilization – Thomas Cahill
Book 5 of the 39 Clues – Patrick Carman
Foyle’s Philavery – Christopher Foyle
The Ode Less Travelled – Stephen Fry
The Human Voice – Anna Karpf
That Hideous Strength- C.S. Lewis (3rd book in the Space Trilogy of which Perelandra is the 2nd)
Screwtape Letters – C.S. Lewis
Carpe Diem – Harry Mount
Empires of the Word – Nicholas Ostler
The Language Instinct – Stephen Pinker
The Sparrow – Mary Doria Russell
Persepolis – Marjane Satrapi
The Linguistics of Lying – Harald Weinrich
I don’t actually have access to three of these books right now, but I have so many I should have already read, this should not be an issue. I think I’m on a fiction kick and so many of these are not that… the poor non-fiction books are gathering dust.
WHAT TO DO.

April 26, 2010Once upon a time You Look Nice Today, greatest podcast on the planet that they never update anymore but it’s okay I still love them, had a podcast called “The Good Part” in which they explain the modern problem of loving a song and wanting your loved ones to love the part you love while trying to keep their attention until the good part comes up. By just making a clip of the ‘good part,’ you can bypass this inconvenience of modern times and my brain thought it was a good experiment to try out, by way of re-introducing myself to GarageBand.

Every day when I look at the glowing red sign at the front of the bus I think, “If there was an extra ‘e’ on that sign, that would anagram to ‘Sequestered Pot.'”
