For those wondering where some sweet Hawaii pictures are, I regret to inform you that I have broken my (second) digital camera.Tahoe was sweet. All runs should have a glacier fed lake to soak in at the end. My own personal running tip: find a hot lady to follow for a mile or so and enjoy the view.
Spent the week in San Francisco--work has been slow. A lot of good video games were played. Orcs were involved, I kid not.
Enjoying Shogun very much. Hai! Finished up The Double--I have a whole file full of quotes from the book. Still working on Stiff: The Humorous Lives of Human Cadavers. Starting Les Miserable. Anyway, my point is, any other ideas on good books to read? Otherwise, I will expose my high-brow snottiness and read whatever Pulitzer recommends.
Breaking news! I went to change a ticket on an airline the other day (worth about $400) and was told they would charge me $700 in change fees. I called back on a TDD line and gave them the universal sign for no thanks.
Finally, I went shopping for an afternoon in downtown SF looking to spend some money. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't buy anything. Is something wrong with me? Am I even American even more?

Something wrong with you? Oh, Karl. Read your first paragraph, and then your last. If I had to spell it out for you I would use the letters D-S-L-R .
ReplyDeleteShogun was great. I'm almost fatally afraid of recommending books though.
I can help you with your problem of not buying anything....exspecially if you are buying.

I too have discovered the shopping dilemma. I will call it the Uncanny Valley. It's after you start making some money but before you have a house. Once you have a house and a family and are settled down, there's no end to stuff you can buy or have to buy. Living single in an apartment in an area where you doubt you'll be for more than a year or two max, there's not much beyond video games and cameras (I recommend you get both).
ReplyDeleteI have to respectfully disagree with Tom's comment above. I am employed, houseless, and have a neverending list of things I want to buy. If you'd like to bankroll my frivolous spending, give me a shout.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I have a blog now. Actually, I have two! Actually, I have like 1750436 if we count the Nepal ones...by the way...what's up with that?
