Things that you need to do. Yes you.

Thing one: Read Fahrenheit 451
Thing two: See Hot Fuzz

I have done both of these in the past two days and I recommend the experience to everyone. It should be noted that these two things have very little if anything in common but that does not mean that you should not do them.

The first thing came about from spending three hours in the local library. My sister and mother volunteer there on Fridays. We went to lunch with Sandy and another friend, and they were going to pick me up at the library after they finished shopping. Their shopping lasted much longer than expected, and so i was at the library for a while. I picked up "Fahrenheit 451" and "And Then There Were None," and read most of Fahrenheit. I finished it later last night and it is deservedly a classic. Between chapters, I stole a little yellow pad of sticky notes and a golf pencil and wrote a short story, and a poem. I'll probably post them here later but I don't want to go get them right now.

I had a TA meeting this morning and I finally realized how little the adult staff really does. This is ok, I just need to remember to bring something worthwhile to do during the meetings. Today I mainly played UNO, and Narbacular Drop. Narbacular Drop is made by the same guys who are working on Portal for Valve and I recommend that anybody interested in a new style of game play give it a try. It's free. Google it.

Go three rounds with Archie Moore and Sugar Ray
It's so damn scary, you won't mind the pain.

P.S I just had the idea of fictional blogging. I'm sure It's been thought of before but I like the idea of a story that updates in real time. There's also some interesting possibilities with real world publishing and the connection to archives. The story could be read from last post to first. (As I do sometimes in regard to my own story) It's also possible that some of this blog is already fictional. I can tell you it's not, but now there will always be that question nagging in your mind.  ¶ 5/12/2007 09:00:00 PM
