i'm confused about the current book list reading repository... archiving book list info here lest I forget.

"The Prague Cemetery", Umberto Eco, 404 pages, completed sometime in February(?), Imagine a 19th century Pan-European version of Foucault's Pendulum. I fear Eco may be trying to realize some sort of Kabbalistic fantasy where he just rearranges the letters of the Torah, where Torah means some book he's already written.

"Watchlist", Jeffery Deaver et al, 373 pages, completed sometime in March, Based on an idea by Deaver. It's two serial novels in one volume. Since it's a serial novel it gets a little tedious watching each subsequent author try to outdo all the previous chapters' authors in action/adventure bravado excitementness.

"Inside Microsoft.NET IL Assembler", Serge Lidin, 2012-05-02, 476 pages, I really feel like I have been inside Microsoft.NET IL Assembler. Now it burns a little when I pee.

I'm reading kinda slow this year. It was something like 60 days into 2012 before I had completed my first book.

I have a 1 yr old boy and have been peed on in the face several times, and this picture looks FAKE and I do know about photochop and photography as I studied it in college.

I’m pretty sure that if you really did study these things in college, you would know that it’s not called photochop. nice try though

Can you tell by the pixels?

but apparently not his parents. Can hardly blame him.

My take on it is that it is a subliminal message to young boys, urging them to accept the genital mutilation inflicted upon them by their parents. Buck up, little camper, Elmo's happy and well-adjusted without his penis; all you boys are missing is your foreskin.

Yeah, that has to be it.

I was just thinking the world needs another "Men In Black" movie.

So, my gmail inbox switched over the to the new interface. Aside from the fact that everything is the same color now - making it difficult to notice distinctions between read and unread messages - all words have been removed. So, now I scan back and forth for the word "Delete" or "Trash" for 15 seconds at a time before remembering that I'm supposed to be looking at an easy to remember picture that denotes in a non-linguistic fashion the button that will allow me to delete the most recent turdlet I've received from Google Analytics or Google Play.

Dick et al. will be playing tomorrow evening at the Metro Gallery in Baltimore. Why are they playing at an art gallery? Why are they visiting (the inappropriately nick-named) Charm City? These sorts of questions are above your pay grade. You should be flogged just for thinking about having me pretend that you asked them. You're an asshole and a bitch. That's all you need to know. That and that the Six is coming. Do you feel that tingling sensation rising from your swollen prostate through your spine to the top of your head and out your third eye? Yeah, that's anticipation.

From here:

"This album is our finest hour. It is less than an hour long, but it is fine.

Now we are finished with that, we turn our attention to mall bitches. They are everywhere. They are at the Oakland Mall right now. They exist only to cause problems, to create fundamentalist chaos. A young girl is abducted by monks and goes through a candlelight ceremony known as "The Bitchening" where she is transformed by radical priestess and fundamentalist clerics into a mall bitch. She then spends the rest of the summer at the mall hating....constantly hating. Why does she hate like that?? Answer...she's a bitch now. She has gone through a radical transformation known as "The Bitchening" with robes, chanting monks, metal slab, skull, bottomless pit and ambient lighting. She will spend the entire summer at the mall....bitching. Daddy's little girl is gone forever. She is now and forever...a bitch. And she will grow up to be a radical fundamentalist bitchwoman, taking men's jobs, emasculating society from the outside in. The mall...is their hive. "

From here:

BROOKLYN, NY, Feb. 6 -- The following can be attributed to Dick Valentine:

Right now, it's quiet in Electric Six. Right now we are huddled in our huddles trying to decide who will do something next. That sound you're hearing? That's your television. And you can bet they will hear your television in the factories in Beijing. Because we're Americans. On television. And our televisions are louder than theirs. Because ours are made of glass.

It's halftime in Electric Six. And I believe that M.I.A. is owed an apology from the NFL and from NBC. She looked great up there. She looked very very good and she is owed an apology.

It's halftime up in here. This year sees us doing things a bit differently from our normal routine. We have decided that the halfway point of our existence is now. To commemorate the first half of our existence, we are making a commemorative double-live album celebrating the best of the first half of our shit. The commemorative albums will be crafted in fine pewter.

We look to the artists in last night's Super Halftime Show as inspiration for scheduling a live event...and fucking delivering on it. I'm not gonna lie...we are nervous. We are very very nervous. We have risked everything on these live albums. And the house always loses.

Dear kid...eat shit! Signed, The Author.

But the good news is, we plan to do eight more studio albums starting next year. In the meantime, look for many of us to do wonderful things this year with our peripheral projects...Belle Ghoul, Johnny Headband, Lettercamp and Evil Cowards. Maybe there's even more than that happening. Maybe updates from this band will flow more freely than normal years. You will have to wait. You have to wait

It's halftime in Electric Six. The second half is about to start. Our engines are revving. We're imported from Detroit.

Also, we're playing in Canada again next month.

What the fucking fuck is wrong with me? It's 01:10am and I've just started watching 'The Usual Suspects' again for about the 87th time - from the beginning. It's like when you find an unopened Hershey's Kiss underneath the seat cushion.
