Uglies, Pretties, and Specials
04.28.08 | Permalink | 9 CommentsUglies Trilogy – by Scott Westerfeld
(Includes books Uglies, Pretties, and Specials )
- Publisher: Simon Pulse (October 23, 2007)
ok. so on top of all the other stuff i have been reading lately, i became thoroughly engrossed in a series which has not let me down in the slightest. this is a bit long winded, but keep in mind it is in reference to reading three books.. and i am trying REALLY hard not to give away spoilers..
it is hard to write about this book because in the context of the review, the keywords and mannerisms of the characters society seems like nothing but grammar and spelling errors. bear with it though, in the books, you are so washed over with the word use and logic that it actually makes sense in the proper frame.
the Uglies trilogy (now a quadrilogy?) was very engrossing. Book one,… Read the rest

passable perfection
there are exceptions to everything, the following has nothing to do with the exceptions. we all like to think that we ARE the exception, and feign surprise when we are told we are not.
we are living in the post polaroid age. people no longer wait for film to be fully used, then developed to see what they took a photo of. we are past the days of polaroid cameras and 1 hour photos. instant prints and an hour wait are too long to see snapshots of what just happened, “living history”. we want the instant rewind. we want the ability to edit something on the fly till it reaches a “passable perfection”. we want the digital camera.
waiting seems to be a cancer everyone chooses to flee from. 12 hour drives reduced to two hour flights. instant downloads of music the day it is made for sale, often times… Read the rest

peeing out my ass/peeing out my butt
wtf..you write one little post about reading a good book on the john and suddenly half your site traffic is received from devoted fetishists searching out defecation videos?
I DEMAND A HIGHER CALIBER OF WEB VISITORS! those of you who actively read and participate in communication here aside of course.
as a side note, today i have been alive for 11,154 days.. overall it was a good day. Check out http://www.11154.net/
once you get deeper in to the flash animation on the site, there is a hell of a lot of interesting music on here, smooth stuff based on hip hop, break beats, some stuff that drove me crazy, some that didn’t.
that is all.. oh yeah.. peeing out my ass.. dont ever search that phrase.. you will be sad at how lame the internet is..

The Zen of Zombie: Better living through the undead by Scott Kenemore
- Paperback: 272 pages
- Publisher: Skyhorse Publishing (October 2007)
and
Real Ultimate Power: The Official Ninja book by Robert Hamburger
- Paperback: 192 pages
- Publisher: Citadel (July 1, 2004)
in the last couple months i have read two books that have walked me through the process of learning how to be someone i am not. One teaches the inner “way of the zombie” and how to incorporate the highly successful methods and habits of zombies to bring you to enlightenment and the culmination of your goals. the other is about how cool ninjas are and how you can become one if you can find one, get kidnapped by one, or fake it if you have the gut feeling that you could hack it in single combat with a pirate. neither of these books did anything for… Read the rest

moving to a new house, feeling nostalgic
04.22.08 | Permalink | 4 CommentsSo, Jenn and i have been looking at houses to move into. we need someplace that will allow us the room to have our animals and not go crazy. finding a house removes so many issues due to timing, wasted days off etc.Well, we found someplace, and we got approved to move into the property. we will be getting keys on the first of next month. Our new house is out in Beaverton, but the pro’s of the situation outweigh the cons so we are both happy with the outcome.
i have lived in the same area for 3-4 years now.. feeling nostalgic, with the upcoming move out of my neighborhood, i was looking at some satellite images of different property’s online. i started thinking about how many times i have moved in my life. and decided, hey… lets see what things look like at some of… Read the rest
