That'll be next on the list, then. Thanks for the reminder and insight.

Okay, does a comic book count? I'm reading "Wildguard: casting call." It's written and drawn by a good friend of mine, Todd Nauck (he used to draw Young Justice).

I'm currently reading a text book on human anatomy & phsyiology. Uuuhg just two more years, just two more years.

I have a thing for anatomical names. I'm often amused by what our bits 'n' pieces are named after. "Frog's belly" for the calf muscles, "gelatinous stuff" for a portion of the spinal cord. It makes me laugh to think of some venerable, old Greek scratching his head and saying,"Shit, I dunno — looks like a seahorse. I'm writing it down." Got any good ones for me, Fluffy?

Ah brilliant, brilliant.
I am currently reading Cold Mountain, by Charles Frazier. It is a book about the Conflict Between the States (that would be the Civil War to those of you from north of the Mason-Dixon).

The King of California. How Tulare Lake, the largest body of fresh water west of the Mississippi, became cotton fields.

In my opinion, much of the really great works of litterature of the 20th. century are comics ... "Watchmen" by Moore & Gibbons, "The Incal" by Moebius, Neil Gaiman's work ...

...and there's Maus I and II by Art Spiegelman.

Right now I'm reading "The Victorians" by A.N. Wilson.

The Win32 API Puzzle Book and Tutorials for Visual Basic Programmers written by Dan Appleman is a fooking classic!

Beaudelaire : Les paradis artificiels
for me!!!

Any of Buck's posts.

Now that one really did make me LOL!

The Silent Takeover, Noreena Hertz.

Fans of Chomsky will dig it. It details the transfer of power from states to corporations, and the current situation in any country you care to name: the government is a weak, scared little bitch who just dropped the soap.

Hey Louchey! Howthefuckareya?

Yo, bitch!
It's about time ya staggered into this shithole.

Just finished 'Our Man in Havana' yesterday. It is fucking excellent. I decided to give up on 'Paradise Alley' after 500 pages. Sometimes I think my judgement isn't so good.

And then I started 'Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency' last night. I read this one when I was 14, but I've lost a lot of brain cells since and I wanted to see whether I still thought it was good. The jury is still out.

You must be a grad student.

fuck no

i barely went to college...

I just started college (at 30.)

There is nothing on the earth dumber or more certain that it is really smart than a just-finished-highschool college student. Jeeezus.

I think it's better to just read a lot, if you want to actually learn things. Not to say you don't pick a lot of interesting things up in school, just that they don't know what it really means. Their ability to identify and deal with bullshit is so lacking...

Louchington, you mind I pass out on your couch?

Is there any real-life debauchery scheduled? Somebody said something about June, I think.

Good stuff. Very good stuff.
Here's something to compliment your books/cd's/dvd: justicevision

Also Alternative Tentacles publishes a lot of spoken word cd's and some books along the same line.

While you're over there, pick up some Wesley Willis.

alternative tentacles is actually how i found akpress a few years back

they co-publish quite a few things... most of the cd's i mentioned ought to be 'virus' releases on the at site as well...

and i have all the wesley willis mp3's offered on the at site...

You think you can get away with murder
You don't know who you're fooling with
I'm going to shoot you with my BB gun

Fuck with me and find out

Keep on with the shit
Keep on talking shit to me, and I will bust you in your chops
Plus I'm going to knock your block off

Fuck with me and find out

Blockbuster Video. Wow. What a difference.

Rock over London, Rock on Chicago,

Diet Pepsi, uh-huh

Hell, Brother Rabbit, I got spare bedrooms and shit now.
Check out the Louche Fest Srapbook in the Absinthe House section to see what you missed this summer. You only missed one of my parties, and it was the absolute wrong one.
Next one here in Absinthetown is the 3rd wkend of July. Everyone invited. Possible filmed as part of an absinthe documentary.
Also one in Seattle April 17th for our Left Coast Cuzzin's. Well, and me and Rimmy and maybe Sorpio (man that name sucks!) are flyin' out from wayt the fuck over here.

I say we change it to Porkio.

I'm checking on airfare as we speak ... hell, I might take some Vaca time and drine up.

DG

That's got a ring to it. It does kind of sound like a bacon-flavored breakfast cereal, though.

Pompous, boring or boring, I have a dictionary I read in the ferret privy - shitter. I like to bone up.

You killed me with that one.

Both the name and Peep's funny are good.

No, checking out the scrapbook will make me wish I could have gone. Eh, I didn't miss Jade- the only REAL Burnt™ absinthe anyway.

Is there any mention of that most excellent of absinthe vaporware in the new books?

Choices, choices- airfair and booze or tuition.

Crap.

Crap.

Crap.

I'd pick airfare ... hell, you can ALWAYS go back to school.

DG

Frere Bunny,
Airfare?
You move?
The July party is here in Allentown.
Or are you thinking of going to Seattle in April too?

I moved in the summertime, but am still right next to the burg. Was thinking of Seattle. Then the Responsibility demon came again, unbidden.

Carp.

Carp.

Carp.

Better do both LFs.
