Fer giving me "Blood & Gold" by ol' Anne Rice. Made me hafta go to The Book Magician (aka The Amber Unicorn) in search of freaking vampire books. Geez,whaddaya trying to do to me?
I'm also reading, for the first time, "Communion" by Whitley Strieber. I've come to the realization that whenever he describes aliens, I think of children. I'm almost done w/the book, I'm thinking to myself, yeah, children do look like aliens. Weird tiny unformed faces stuck in the middle of oversized heads. Inexplicable, irrational & illogical behavior. Sort of unnerving in a scampering, ratlike way. Aliens bug me at a deep & basic level, but at least I'm not forced to deal w/them in public. At least, I don't think I am. Who knows, maybe they do walk among us, only instead of wandering around nekkid & grey, they're dressed in little pink or blue onesies w/pacifiers stuck in their tiny mouths, plotting the downfall of the world from the safety of strollers? Gods, do I hate the mall & the post office anymore.
Rob's dad survived his hernia operation. After all the testing to see if he could make it out alive, a grape-sized balloon grew to the size of an orange. Nice. But, I can understand all the delays considering how Nevada reams these doctors on malpractice insurance. $300 - $400,000 a year. More if they're unfortunate enough to be an ob/gyn.
I've decided the one last thing I need in life is a cable modem. That's it. Just a working cable modem that's compatible w/my cranky Dell computer. That's all. All I need. Hell, for all I know, happiness for me may actually be achieved the first time I get more than a 4800kps connection to the World Wide Web... I may actually have an orgasm or something.
