sweet, sweet relaxation
A nice long weekend spent doing next to nothing. This is one of the first times I’ve even sat at my computer, except for deleting junk email. If there was true targeting marketing, apparently I’d be looking to refinance a home I don’t own to purchase mass marketing email lists, get a penis extension and check out some “girls on the farm”.
Anyway, Wendy and I vespa’d around, played a little soccer and that’s about it really. Watched Vanilla Sky, which was OK… I seem to remember there being some hoopla about it being a little confusing, which I didn’t get. If anything, they beat you over the head with the whole cyrogenics thing so I knew it was going to be a step-out-of-the-shower, it’s-all-a-dream thing 10 minutes in.
Read a great book called Year Zero. It was right up my alley - typical SF type crap where a professor type becomes and Indiana Jones adventurer and gets the beautiful girl, but great ideas and concepts mixed in there. Love when science takes on religion. I won’t give anything else away in case anyone wants to read it.
I’m also trying to track down a copy of Wolfram’s A New Kind of Science since I read about it in Wired… I’ve stayed away from hard science books recently but I’m ready to dive in again and this one sounds mind-blowing.
Well that’s it for now. Back to the shit tomorrow… entering the last week of world cup action as well.

do you think we’re becoming alcholics? taking the vespa out at 12 on a Sunday just to drink…

I have a copy of the book (it’s huge!) I am about halfway done with the main part of the book, I should be finished in a week or so. It is pretty dry reading, but there are some cool ideas. And lots of pretty hi-res pics
