got the brain working again. been a complete literary slacker for too long and now the pages are flying by. couldn't tell any difference between the old & newly revised gunslinger, but it's been a while since i've read it. same thing happened when i saw the director's cut of alien halloween weekend. it had probably been 10 years since i had seen the original.

a friend in the air force recommended that i read starship troopers before starting my enlistment. so far so good. discussion of boot camp, the difference in civilian vs military life, economics, value & moral systems. just about halfway through in about two days. hopefully vonnegut will be back at the library when i return troopers.

got a date tonight. dinner at a place my friends have recommended for dates/romantic atmosphere and then an electronic music competition "battle of the laptops" hopefully the powerbook won't be jealous when i get back.

People don't realize that there is something in the back of their car called a spare tire, and you can put it on your car and take a flat tire off and get the flat fixed. Instead they drive around with a slow leak for months adding air once in a while until either just before closing when the tech has worked 11 hours with no lunch, or a holiday, and suddenly it's an emergency. But it's my job, so I tell them to go inside and sit down and wait (mechanics may say it's okay to hang out and watch, but honestly it's irritating to be working your ass off and have someone standing cross armed, leaning against something watching you). And I get them in and out as fast as I can. I didn't even mount a single new tire yesterday, although I did do a couple of oil changes to break the dull routine, but finally 5:00 came and I got to do donuts in the parking lot with my S-10 to the delight of my co-workers. We hung out for about 15 minutes doing donuts in the parkinig lot. It was great!
