Defacing the maps of history for over 30 nintendo years

B oo K

Its a rare pleasure to be able or even willing to ignore everything for a day and just read a book through its entirety. Its something I try to do at least three times a year. Certain authors are, I think, best read this way as well so with each new realease its a day of ignorant bliss. Yesterday I sat down with Disgrace by J.M. Coetzee. The 1999 Booker prize book was a pretty good book. Good story, not always terribly well written but the plot was interesting enough to counteract that, even if it was at times fairly predictable. Its an interesting book in that the cover design alone had made me want to read it for the last 3 years even though no credit is given to the designer.

Farewell to our good buddy Goldbach who is heading back to Melmac today. I guess the lure of Rhonda overpowers his appetite for cats. Be safe good buddy.

i know i'm a bit behind... but i'm half way through the corrections by jonathan franzen. it's wonderful! it's easy to read and difficult to keep track of passing hours- much like salinger. only, it's much longer than the salinger books.

i like the way characters come in and out of your journals. for instance, what's this goldbach kid all about anyway? and what's the deal with him and cats? and what happened to tyler? was he eaten by a pack of piranha's while playing with your floating sandals?

Franzen? is that they guy who wrote the Hardy Boys.

Goldbach, aka TK3000 (www.ghostryders.cjb.net) is a friend whose privacy I respect, so much so that he felt left out by nary a trace of him in my blog. That is all I will say about him. His deal with cats is between him and the felines.

Tyler long ago realized that my blog is stupid and can only be handled in small, sporadic, doses so he and I just email daily and build awesome website for awesome money.

Are you still in London?

newsflash...

my friend went to the same high school as turbo kick 3000. she's slightly older than he- two years i think. i put a picture of her up on my site in case he became curious.

This is funny, I was being made fun of for not congratulating him on quitting smoking and for never mentioning him here and then when I do an old high school flame of his starts stalking him. I guess that is the price you pay for wanting stardom.

His computer is on the fritz right now so he cant check out that picture, nor can I email him to let him know to check it out. Next time he is in computer central he will be informed.

stalker?!?! ha ha.. cheryl won't like that very much.

i made her check out your bike gang site. his bike looked like hers. she quickly realized that she recognized him from her high school. they don't know each other as far as i'm concerned.

there's no need to check out the picture really. we got them done for our baby making friend who lives in calgary. she rarely sees us so we paid 4 dollars to get our photos taken in one of those booths. i think someone urinated in the that particular one.
