working and reading
so i had my first *real* day of work today... and it only lasted for two hours. but that's ok, because it only took me that long to decide that i love this job. really. it's already rocking my face off and i've only barely begun. but more on that later... probably not for a while. i got the last installment of my order from amazon so i'm taking a brief break from my absorption with a couple of truly fantastic books and am instead enjoying some new tunes and typing this. or rather, copying and pasting, because here's four links worth reading:- RIAA Bans Telling Friends About Songs (from the Onion). clever satire is oh-so-funny
- keepmanny.com. you can sign an online petition to keep manny in boston, or just read what people say they would do in an effort to retain him. have i signed it, you ask? of course. he's my favorite player on my favorite team... it'd break my heart to see him go
- opening paragraph from moby dick. thanks to luke who brought this gem to my attention... never discount the powerful draw of the sea. i need to read that book. soon.
- the art of drowning, by billy collins. an equally profound piece of literature, recommended by another good friend (thanks kristin). please take the time to read it... poems like that deserve to be read, need to be read. it's in your face, it's real, and it makes you think. not many poems do that
that's all. books are calling me. i'm a bibliophile, i admit it.
what can brown do for you?
