Picture: Curiosity keeps the cat alive!
I am currently re-reading Bill Bryoson’s A short History of nearly everything. This is very much in the list of my top 5 books of all times and genres. I love to CONSUME it. So far I have read it in these forms: Illegally downloaded Pdf. file version of the book, the real book, the illustrated version of it, wonderful audio format of this book read by a great narrator… and soon I will get an abridged version of audio book, read by Bryson himself. Long live the public Libraries of Christchurch.
This book is the product of immense curiosity and delightful humor that Bryson has. In short this book is a layman’s guide to almost ALL fields, history of Science and origins of life on earth. Another great thing is since this book packs so much information and humor on every page, you can open it at any page and start reading any bits. Here is a little snippet from the opening of the book:
”Welcome and congratulations! I’m delighted that you could make it. Getting here wasn’t easy I know, in fact I suspect it was a little tougher than you realize. To begin with for you to be here now trillions of drifting atoms would somehow to assemble in an intricate and curiously obliging manner to create you. It’s an arrangement so specialized and particular that it has never been tried before and will only exist this once… Why atoms take this trouble is a bit of a puzzle. Being you is not a gratifying experience at the atomic level. For all their devoted attention your atoms don’t actually care about you. In fact they don’t even know that you’re there. They don’t even know that they are there.”
I chucked away a long intricate novel. Meaning of life dud. I suspect any author who writes LONG fiction and does not bother to edit it nicely and precisely is wasting readers’ time. But then I know MILLIONS of Harry Potter fans skip across 700 odd pages of typing… err. I mean writing. Ah, such devotion…. I’m such a bitch of a reader I’m afraid. Forgive me gods of knowledge and publishing industry.
Planned reading for this weekend: ”Mozart and Whale: an unexpected love story”. This book is a true love story of a guy and a girl who have one thing in common: Asperger’s Syndrome. Hmmm… 
CLEAVAGE– Let’s get it over and done with. I wonder and wonder WHY in the name of whatever sooo many (if not most) women on the internet post their pictures with special shots of their exaggerated and purposefully naked cleavage and boobs etc. In all fairness, most of my few women pals on 360 don’t do it. Maybe that’s why they’re ”few”. lol
So… anyhoo… I mean these profiles are not about wanting sexual meetings… they are normal profiles and then there are these graphic or quite suggestive cleavage shots thrown in the mix. But wait…. this is not the whole story…. these women actually complain about and blast men wanting sex? For the love of gawd why would they have dandy display of their booby trap in the first place. To remind men of their mothers? 
By the way, I asked the same question politely to a seemingly nice girl on the internet. She wrote back, ”Ummm… for fun…” and also promptly took off her boob picture.
So, I had to write to her, ” For fun? Oh Ok… I’m sorry to see that you’re not having any, anymore.”
