Honey.... I'm Home!

So, that was interesting.


Not the first time I've ever lost interest in something temporarily, nor probably the last. But it was a fun two months of schoolwork and exams. Oh, and Work. I probably shouldn't complain, because I have a job in this economy, and it's paying well. So, been having fun, otherwise.


Makes me wonder, though. What was it, in the development of our civilization, that made us need jobs, in the way that we do now? In times of old, they didn't have cubicle farms. What the hell is a cubicle farm for, anyways? See the Anekdote zur Senkung der Arbeitsmoral.


Well, more on that later... Oh, by the way, I won't be posting anymore for the rest of the month. Starting up again next month.

In Lieu of a Title...


Ahhhhh... A refreshing week off.

And for the most part, I actually did what I planned on doing. I got more sleep. Come to think of it, I'm not sure I remember the last time I saw the sun come up on a weekend...

Certainly didn't this time around!

Today I'd like to talk to you about: [voiceover] Books [/voiceover].

Been reading quite a bit lately. Certainly more than I have in the past couple months, which frankly, is rather Odd for me. Been reading books from the "Dragonriders of Pern" series of books by Anne McCaffrey. Really good books, the ones I've read. Though I can't seem to get my hands on the Original Trilogy at my local library, but the different parts of the series are stretched across many centuries, so it's not required to understand them at all. Not like the TV series Lost, or Prison Break, which, if you come in in the middle of them, well, the former describes it perfectly. You'd be lost.

Another one I've been mulling over right now is the sociological-introductory book "The McDonaldization of Society". Wow. Just, Wow. Not even through it yet, and you can really see and understand the examples that Ritzer give in this book... Pick it up.

Anyways, enough of my ramblings for tonight...

Nadda

Sorry guys and gals (the 2-3 people that even glance at this), I'm skipping this week.

I had a pretty hectic weekend, filled with work, denied job applications, emails and Star Wars, so I'm taking a break and hitting the hay about 3 hours earlier than usual.

As compensation, look at some Cracked stuff...
