who hasn't been waiting for this one?!
i mostly slept today. i have to have to finish my UC apps, so that i can go to a university next year. woodeewoo. so, essay writing will consume me for the next four hours. right after i procrastinate a littttle more and eat my dinner.
so guess what happened? i accidentally left my keys in the car of my date last nite!!!! that's what i get for drinking, again. he went back to school in arizona today, so i've got to call him and figure some master plan to get them back. this happened to me about three weeks ago, i left them in my best friend's car and didn't get 'em back for four days.
oh my dilatory antics. i'm so lazy.
happy tuesday all.

FICTION:
-The Acid House - Irvine Welsh... short stories from the guy who wrote Trainspotting (my fave- The Granton Star Cause).
-Shout at the Devil - Wilbur Smith... swashbuckling, drunken ivory poacher and his crew versus villainous German Kaiser in the jungles of WWI Africa.
-The Big Sleep - Raymond Chandler... the first book by the high priest of noirish detective fiction (and the source for my username).
NON-FICTION:
-Writing on Drugs - Sadie Plant... chronicle of the effect of various drugs on the writers that used them, and the literature (and history) that resulted. Fucking *great* book.
-Among the Thugs - Bill Buford... a firsthand account of an American journalist who traveled around Europe with the most dangerous group of soccer hooligans in all of England. Worth it for the cover picture alone.
-The Gift of Fear - Gavin De Becker... understanding what the biological purpose of fear is, and how you can use it to your advantage.
COMICS:
-The Invisibles - Grant Morrison... sex, drugs, and rock&roll: the comic book.
-V For Vendetta - Alan Moore... lone anarchist terrorist versus a fascist totalitarian England in an alternate future.
-Preacher - Garth Ennis... a tough-as-shit Texan, his trigger happy girlfriend, and his drunk Irish vampire best friend look for a fugitive God on the run in America.
phew. Lemme know if you already read any of those... otherwise, read em and lemme know what you think.
