I Never Liked You
I just read through the graphic novel I Never Liked You by Chester Brown. It was a pretty quick read for me, and what the New York Times described as a “troubled youth” was – for the most part – a typical nerd youth. Although the story ended on a low note and left me feeling empty and depressed, it did leave me hungry for more of his work and I’ll be checking out Louis Riel from the library as soon as I get a chance.
Goodbye Twig
We hardly knew you.
The Twig will be closing Monday, September 3rd, at 10:00pm. Although I wasn’t able to visit as often as I’d have liked, it will be missed.
Solemn thanks goes to Karl for pointing this out to me.

It’s been on the blogroll for some time now, but if you haven’t checked it out already, take a look at Jenny’s blog, Book Embargo. It’s generally updated several times weekly and contains news on books and the book industry.
In the interest of transparency and full disclosure, I should let you know that Jenny is my amazing, wonderful and perfect girlfriend.

Harrison and Ford House Gymnastics
Harrison & Ford House Gymnastics is a cross breed of yoga, breakdancing, climbing and gymnastics in a domestic setting. House Gymnastics can be performed by anyone, at anytime, anywhere.
I’ve spent days searching for that site, because I when I came across melovescookies flickr account[potentially NSFW], I knew I had seen some of the crazy stuff she was doing somewhere else, but couldn’t remember the site name.
Rubik’s Cube
The obsession of the week is a blast from the past: Rubik’s Cube. I don’t actually own a Rubik’s Cube, but I’ve put one on my masterwish and kicked up its priority to I must have it.
I’m not saying that I want to play with a Rubik’s Cube more then I want to play WoW, but between calls at work I’ve been playing with a flash version. I’ve even tried to cheat, but I still have problems with the last couple of steps. I’m sure my skill would improve more quickly with the shiny plastic version.
Serenity this Friday
A bunch of Browncoat’s from the Plymouth area are going to go to Concord on Friday to see Serenity. Contact me through the usual (or unusual) channels if you’re interested in going.
