Less then a month...
Just about the week, I last posted, one of the other guys in my group got laid off. Not to worry my job is pretty secure for now :) I was seriosuly considering a job in Stockton but I was talked out of it by a peer. So I am going to stick it out with these great guys until its impossible to continue to do so.
Last weekend I bought a used bed a golden wood color. I also bought a new desk. Consequently I can now rock Duel displays (posted a picture in the Mustang gallery).
I have been doing a whole lot of reading in the last mont. I have read:
Judas Unchained by Peter F. Hamilton, this is the final book in his latest series. Once again Hamilton succesfully creates a whole new world that is amazing. In this series he tackles the epic question of how does Genocide/Xenocide fit within the idenity of Humanity.
Native Son by Richard Wright: For a Classic this book is a real page turner. The story revolves around a mistake early in the book so vivid it feels like a dream. If you've ever wondered what it feels like to be poor, Black and Angry this may be as close as you can get.
Armed Madhouse by Greg Palast: If you liked "Best Democracy money can buy" You are gonna love this book. Palast's chapters on Big and the robbery of the 08' elections are very enlightening. His chapter on Oil changed my perspective on how Saudi manipulates the oil market through Opec. As a result I am pulling my money out of Big Oil.
Haunted by Chuck Palahniuck (Author of Fight Club): AMAZING book, it is a collection of short stories woven together into a single plot. He tackles Humanities self-destructive nature and asks is out of Fear of Pain or the Stupidity of never moving past our own pain? Not for the weak of Stomach. Just make it through "GUTS" and it is easy from there.
Hyperion: A Scifi classic very intetrguing anotehr set of short stories woven together, I will read the sequel.
Next I am going to read Fallen Dragon and then return to Hyperion. Hopefully I can keep all this reading up.
I have also seen:
Superman ~ Lois sure can take a beating... To much Drama not enough action. Good but dissapointing.
Nacho Libre ~ Funny! If you like Jack Black you will like this movie.
Who killed the Electric Car? Really great movie. I had no idea a viable Electric Car has been available since 1996 and how far off Hydrogen technology. Check this one out!
Inconvient Truth: Al Gore does a great job of bringing all the facts of global warming together. If you have doubts see this, and if you don't bone up your arguments.
Final Fantasy 7: Best CG I have seen to date. Clearly pointed at Children But very true to the game.
Xmen3: Good Effects, interesting story.
I am going to stop my Net flix this month in light of all the reading I am doing and discovering a really good independent movie house less then 20 minutes from my place.
I also beat Knights of the Old Republic. I have never been that huge a Star Wars fan. My Epic is the Matrix. However, after playing Knights of the Old Republic I must admit the Jedi story is much closer to my heart. I have already ordered Knights of the old Republic 2.
In the near future I am still looking for more to do outside of work. I am flying to Nocal this weekend for a work project. Maybe exercise more and volunteer when I get back for what though? I'll be keeping an eye on the Meixcan Presidential elections and Isreali attack on Palestine could be a highly explosive week.
