welcome
No one ever followed his genius til it misled him. Though the result were bodily weakness, yet perhaps no one can say
that the consequences were to be regretted, for these were a life in conformity to higher principles. If the day and night are such
that you greet them with joy, and life emits a fragrance like flowers and sweet-scented herbs, is more elastic, more starry,
more immortal,--that is your success. All nature is your congratulation, and you have cause momentarily to bless yourself. The
greatest gains and values are farthest from being appreciated. We easily come to doubt if they exist. We soon forget them.
They are the highest reality....the true harvest of my daily life is somewhat as intangible and indescribable as the tints
of morning or evening. It is a little star-dust caught, a segment of the rainbow which I have clutched.
--Henry David Thoreau

There are two words to describe me: 'atheistic' and 'cynical'.
Anything else, you'll have to find out by yourself.
Don't like it, sue me.
And that's the awful truth.

The Popular Bookfest was a godsend, I must say. The place was huge, and I wish I could have gone there again, but its last day was yesterday, so it's over now. Kudos to Jin Wei, who got me thinking about it in the first place. Too bad I lost my watch there. But it was sorta worth it anyway. I spent over $50 there, and bought myself 5 books. Man, they were cheap. I bought a hardcover 'Lisey's Story' for like $7. There weren't many Stephen King books though, only about three, and one of them had a hideously pink cover that I didn't even want to touch. So I bought myself a couple of comedies, but only the ones from acclaimed authors. I can never buy a book from someone I have never read unless the person has really good reviews and/or won some awards. That's how I found Joshua Ferris, which was a mighty good find. Can't wait for his next novel. Also, I couldn't find any books from Oprah's Book Club, and that's such a waste. I spent like 4 hours there. You can't imagine how time flies for me when I'm choosing a book. It's not something to be taken lightly. Also, I wanted to find some collected poetry from W. H. Auden, and wandered around everywhere to find it, but it was all in vain. I found a huge book full of E. A. Poe's work, but it wasn't in very good shape. And you know how I am about my books: no creases, marks, tatters or folds. I'm a perfectionist like that. I like my books to be clean and new. All in all, it was a Good Day.
Ah... Musical Evening. It killed my feet, by the way, and I hate make-up. It was really exhausting, and the lights were so bright, but its cool to be under a spotlight, do not you think? Jolene says I looked pretty, but well, who knows. Can you imagine me 'pretty'? I think not. The performances were great, especially the Dance. They had really extravagant costumes, that went quite well with the movements and such. After the long ride home, I flopped onto my couch and turned on the TV to watch Hitchhikers Guide, since my CD was screwed up and such. I reveled in British humor, reminding me of Nick Hornby and 'About a Boy'. Also, Zooey Deschannel is a great actress, one I affectionately refer to as Devil Bird Girl. Heh, I love that line from 'Failure to Launch'.
Well, that's all folks!
