Putting Our Orwellian Recent Past in a Full-nelson
Wikileaks: is everyone aware of what this really is? It’s a dream of what we all wish we are. It’s what we make movies about: a benevolent superpower.
They are saying “let us know, We can handle it” BUT THEN, when the money systems companies did what is wrong with “the system” like a tired cliche’, they said “NOPE”.
This is gorgeous X-men shit putting our Orwellian recent past in a full-nelson until it says uncle. Hysterical and I find it deeply comforting.

Las Vegas
My tour manager told me we took a wrong turn at Albuquerque.

The Sound Of Songwriting
I received this link from a couple friends who said they loved it. I haven’t read it because I don’t feel comfortable reading press, but go ahead. It’s Zia approved.

Oscar Wao
Well the narrative doesn’t exactly cruise right along. By page 78 I found myself flipping through the rest of the book reading a page here and there. This guys writing style is fantastic but it constipates after a short while. I don’t know if I’ll ever finish it.

RE: Vintage Caper
As far as plots and stories go this one is just plain silly. But then again that’s not what it’s about. If you’re into food, France and French wine this is what might be called an elegant romp and it’s definitely for you.
I’m gonna read The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao next. Just as soon as we’ve had our two-day break from tour.

Pirate Latitudes
Apparently this book was discovered as a complete manuscript after Crichton’s death in 2008. I didn’t even know he had died. Well the book is pretty damn fun. It’s got me through four flight delays and one cancellation, three van rides and a seaplane.
One thing though, it’s been a while since I watched Captain Horatio Hornblower but I kept thinking that this was the same story. Or was it Yellowbeard.

One Day Out
Well it looks like this is how we get to Vancouver. God this has been a weird tour….and we’ve been out for exactly one day.

With Pummelings and Daggery
I forgot to stop at Powells so this was kinda the only choice left to me from the PDX news stand. It has the word “pirate” in the title and right below it is the sentence: “Crichton’s ultimate adventure.” Ooh, that sounds great.
Well, seventy pages in I can tell you that it’s pretty goofy. It reads like a book for kids but with pummelings and daggery. This book also seems to have an abundance of wenching. Oh well, at least the swashbuckling is gonna commence any page now…

Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I’m in the South eagerly awaiting the big feast. All the kinfolk are sittin around watching FOX news. Ya know, I had nearly forgotten how to hate, be small or even get petty and mean about other people whom I don’t even know. But now thanks to only fifteen minutes in front of the TV, I have high blood pressure and am ready to torture and/or kill complete strangers.
Wow, I feel so dark and creepy right now, like my insides have been defiled. I need to lay down in a field of daisies.
Cryin’ out loud. Now I know where psychos, rapists, and serial killers go to get jacked up for visiting some evil upon the good and the innocent.
Here is a movie review:
Addams Family Values: It’s not a perfect movie, but on Thanksgiving Day it sure did cure the evil sickness that was put in me by accidentally watching 15 minutes of FOX News.
