I realized...
…that I have purchased over 30 books since June.
Mostly used titles, but still.
What the heck. I’ll probably post a picture later.
Also, I’ve read 3 books in 2012 so far, and am still working on both GEB and Jerusalem Delivered.

So I enjoy reading things with small bites of historically-contexted social critique. What of it? Good play, I’d suggest it (if you haven’t already read it!). :)

4 pages in, and I’m of the opinion Algernon’s an asshole. Maybe you shouldn’t be reading inscriptions on other people’s property. Just maybe.

“We are unlikely to ever know all the details of the birth of the AIDS epidemic. But a series of recent genetic discoveries have shed new light on it, starting with the moment when a connection from chimp to human changed the course of history.”

Also, yay colonialism… :/

I’m glad to hear “The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore” won!
Otherwise, the Oscars just reminds me that I don’t watch many films anymore. And my dad gets them for free “for [his] consideration”.

New followers?
So, I looked and apparently have had like 5 new followers in the last couple of weeks. Hello!
I’ve said it before, but: I don’t know how you all found me, but I’m glad you are. I’m glad you exist and such.
Don’t be shy. If you ever want to ask me things. Ask me your things.

Their song from last year’s contest, “Lipstick”, was damnably catchy. I like them in spite of myself. They remind me of Robert Pattinson, but blonder, they sing and there’s two of them.
