So, mom has started looking for a job more in the Midwest area, so she’s been sending out inquiries to various Bed and Breakfasts, because that’s apparently what she does now. Her letters were a little too informal, so I suggested this (names have been changed to protect the guilty:
Seeing this, would you want to be 125 years old?
And probably the funniest Zero Wing spoof I’ve seen in a while:

And now we bring you back to your regularly scheduled website.
Until tomorrow.
Wondering where I’ve been? I’ve been sick for the past few days. Actually I’m still sick, but I’m well enough to leave bed for long periods of time.
Friday, I drove to the Chicago area to spend some time with Jen, since I haven’t been there for a while, and apparently Ryan missed me. We had dinner at Heaven On Seven, a restaurant known for having spicy Cajun food. I tried my luck with their Cajun Stir Fry, which was on their specials menu, and didn’t have a hot pepper next to the item description, so I assumed it was safe to eat. It was good, but boy was it hot. Now I wish I ordered the Shrimp VooDoo instead; Ryan says it wasn’t as hot as mine, and it did have a pepper icon. Ah well.
As I leap fom the bounds of wake, and wanton lies. In the sea of desperation awaiting forever dreams. There is a fountain of shallow seas, drifting ever through the arc of time and life asunder. Though I walk not in time forsaken, I drink of the wonders in my eyes. Speak, and hear spiraling fortitude, or naught but sentient rambling. In as wonders, carelessly strewn from a heart of terror; maybe I seek another. I have no answer, for I seek no question. In the dawn, in the winding path, in the prism, in the valley, the stone of contemplation sites.
Having recently finished reading The Da Vinci Code, I was wondering about some of the research Dan Brown alluded to, which provided the bulk of his material. After reading around for a while, the book Holy Blood, Holy Grail was mentioned frequently, as was Foucault’s Pendulum. A few quick moments on Amazon.com brought me a hardcover copy of each. To get my order above $25 for free shipping, I also picked up a copy of Quicksilver, to start my journey along The Baroque Cycle. I liked Cryptonomicon, so it only made sense.
