Well then...

You know, for some reason, I find it perversely tempting to join TIPS. My office mate and I (one of the four other people in this room too small for five) are tempted to join and put the stickers they give you all over the walls. Anyway, they're managed by FEMA. That bothers me even more profoundly than just about anything else about this program. I mean, the fact that the wesite sometimes sounds almost communist (in that 80's movie way, da, commrade?) or fascist at times makes me leery, but mostly I giggle at it. Anyway, go have a look.

They Might Be Giants at the Paramount on Saturday. I have no tickets. Sad me. I'll see how finances look on Friday after getting paid and maybe there will be tickets left for me.

Bumbershoot is soon, yes?

I feel a little better about things, though I still have a cold which makes it so that I might act irrationally and stupid at any moment.

I should get some work done.

I've almost caught up on my massive glut of books for me too read. Or atleast I've read enough of them that I feel I can give that pile a rest.

What I am looking for are recommmendations of books that I should read. Specifically Iw as trying to think of those more classic books that I feel I should read, for some reason, but never have. Of course, this can apply as much to 18th century British Literature as modern SciFi.

Any suggestions? (Note: They don't have to be fiction.)

I don't really like Linkin Park. However, this video rules. The re-mix makes the song tollerable if not catchy. http://search.launch.yahoo.com/search/lsearch/video?p=linkin+park

Go look at the bottom video. I'm especially fond of the electricity fairies.

A few words...

I just watched the end of Braveheart.

I know how inaccurate the movie is. I've been told by many differnet sources about how wrong it is and how it doesn't portray the truth. (I once got an almost 20 page write up of mistakes from Col. Graham and he made sure to point out that he had just scratched the surface.) I have it pointed out to me repeatedly from those friends of mine who are from the UK, of which I have been blessed with a larger number than one would expect.

Honestly, I don't give a damn. I think it is a wonderful piece of film making. It pulls on strings, it makes you care and it makes you cry. I will love this movie forever.

It has a lot to do with David O'Hara. I would love to see more of this man. (In case you're wondering, he plays the crazy Irishman, Stephen.) If I'm in tears at the end of the movie, I lose it everytime I see his face. Apparently he was also in the Devil's Own. I will have to watch it again. There are a fair amount of websites dedicated to him.

Tomorrow is Patriot Games and Blade Runner. Mmmmmm.

Anyway... I cried and now I should be more than asleep.
