Book Clubs
Anyways this time I really read it. Cover to cover. Twice I missed my train stop because I was so engrossed in it. Man was it disturbing and interesting. I've had dreams about it. And now that I'm done reading it I can't stop thinking about it, and how fucked up the end is. I feel like the only way to get it out of my system is to talk about it with other people who've read it. Thus the whole book Club might actually be a good idea realization..

Most Affordable Towns
Kenmore, New York
Median family income: $59,875

Kenmore joins the aforementioned Tonawanda to form a region the locals call Ken-Ton. The Buffalo suburb offers low-cost housing in low-crime neighborhoods. Decent single-family homes start around $70,000 there with many in the $150,000 range. More exclusive areas, like Deerfield Park, will cost you close to $300,000.

Vacation
Really the whole point of that long paragraph is I now have to wait until August 21st to fly first class. Really that's the highlight of my vacation. I'm really looking forward to it. More than I think is normal. I always walk by the first class folks when boarding and look longingly at their large leather seats. Then I cry on the inside a little again after the stewardess makes the announcement that the bathroom in the front of the aircraft is for first class passengers only. I have to pee like 2 times an hour and bathrooms are essential to me. I can't wait to have access the the exclusive bathroom.
Oh and also I'm looking forward to the free booze that apparently they serve in first class. I mean come on we all know momma likes to get her drink on while flying.

Astronaut did NOT wear diapers
Lesson learned: Don't wear adult diapers to confront a romantic rival if you don't want it all over the news (and then featured in an episode of Law & Order).

Yesterday
At 5:30pm promptly I leave my office and walk out into the swealtering NYC heat with like a million other people because there's also been ANOTHER power outtage thanks to f'ing ConEd (who also likes to raise rates and provide shitty service) and the trains are all jacked up along with the buses, so everyone is walking. So there I am walking down 6th Avenue, cursing everyone and right in front of me like a breath of fresh air appears Mr. Anderson Cooper. And out loud I said "Anderson Cooper, check". Apparently he's now been crossed off my "celebs to see" list. And Just like that my day was better.
Lesson of the story: seeing a celeb on the street makes everything better.

"Thank you for being a friend".

If you liked 1984 pick up an anthology of Orwell's other writings. I have one called "The Orwell Reader" which I got off amazon for pennies used. It has a great essays and stories. It is great stuff to make you stand up to Fascists and Stalinists alike.
do you do the harry books...because if you don't, you should!!!!
let us know if you read any other good ones. i always wish i was more of a reader and i love getting other people's ideas.
I also just re-read an old (junior-high?) school classic: _Siddhartha_ by Hermann Hesse. It was excellent, really enjoyed it. I think I got a little more out of it this time 'round.
Hmm, I'm working my way through _The Kite Runner_ right now but maybe I should read _1984_ so I can join the club...
