La Vie En Rose for 2005 March 20 (entry 0)

(4) Sun Mar 20 2005 19:28 PST Reading etc. : I was really productive today. I did a lot of things I've been meaning to do for a long time, like file my taxes and register my iPod protection plan. My filing basket it all organized. Me & Leonard also went to Russo's to get a paycheck I had forgotten I had (which I promtly put into my nest-egg savings account with my birthday money) and I also bought Paris 1919, even though I really need to stop buying books until I read all the ones I have!

Yesterday I read Angels and Demons, which I thought was ok-ish. The only part of Dan Brown books I really like is the art symbology imposes upon city geography, and that could have been summarized in about 20 pages, which would have taken me a lot less time to read, but I guess it wouldn't have been very exciting. Anyway, for pleasure reading now I've started The Sixth Lamentation which I read on the elliptical machine at le gym, and once I finish Lies and the Lying Liars who tell them I'll start reading The Middle East by Bernard Lewis, in between spurt of The Stricken Land: Serbia as we say it (getting paid to read is a beautiful thing). I also finished listening to POA; next up is the Sorceror's Stone.

I'd be interested in "Lies and the Lying Liars who tell them." What's it about?

Also, I thought you were going to Mexico.

Don't you love when you get stuff done?

"Lies" is by Al Franken, its subtitle is ""A fair and balanced look at the Right." Still interested? It's mostly about the media.

I didn't go to mexico, more's the luck, I got to work instead! (My job has been very exciting recently).

I'm still interested--after graduation, which, incidentally, is one month from today!
