by Vasil KolevDo you feel like losing a lot of time? Look into wikipedia for Culture jamming and go through the see-also section. Graffiti, books, ideas, pranks… I’ve spent at least an hour looking at Banksy‘s things.
As a pause from the reading I sat to write for a while, as I again haven’t done it in a while.
From the stuff I read in the last weeks, “The powerless in this world” by Boris Strugatski was a really good book, “Camouflage” by Joe Holdeman – nice to chew on, I found “Halting state” by Charles Stross (which I’m reading right now), “Life of Pi” by Ian Martel turned out to be a great book (it was a gift for my birthday, I finally found the time for it), and “The algebraist” by Banks I should finally sit and finish reading as it’s worthy. I wonder if I should run somewhere a list of the books I’ve started and are waiting for me, but hell knows how bit is it going to be, the pile isn’t small.
(also some sources are saying that this week or the one after that “Anathem” by Stephenson will be available at the “Pengiuns” bookstore at Orange)
I rearranged my room, it helps me arrange the stuff in my head (the other thing I do for this is to arrange my library, but the new bookcase still hasn’t arrived, and it takes a lot more time).
I found the Korai Orom CD from 2005 in Dukyan Meloman and I’m still listening to them. I wonder when Tool are going to do a new album, so I can go back to the metal…
