too many quizzes. i know. i didn't mean to, but i get bored at work. nothing too much has been going on with me lately. i still want to open the book store. most of the people i am telling about seem to think it's a good idea, which is reassuring. i still think it's totally insane, but i have to make something of myself eventually. big risk, big payoff? eh i'm usually the wary one.
i am glad it's finally spring. the frequent cold & rainy days make me want to kill myself.
i have been reading a really interesting book by steven pinker. (who i think may be one of the smartest people alive. and he's really funny. seriously. look him up. he's even in the "Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists" check it out http://www.improb.com/projects/hair/hair-club-top.html) so anyway, the book is called "the blank slate: the modern denial of human nature." it's really interesting. it's all about how genes effect our behavior and thoughts - and it's completely backed up by science. more to add to my trivia pursuit arsenal. mwa ha ha...
speaking of which, i also learned a great deal against my will during the 12 hours of jesus programming i watched on easter sunday. easter is by far the worst holiday for those of us who are non-christians. everything is closed, and yet no fun music, no fun movies, no fun food, no fun at all. the tv has nothing but 24 hours of sunday masses with rosy-cheeked, shiny-faced old men with fluffy white hair and cheap suits raving about the day jesus became a zombie. wow, i never thought i'd ever been able to sit through a 2 hour documentary on the real mary magdalene, and yet i did it. why? because i had nothing else to do. sucks to easter. you heard me, JC.
