Fallen Leaf
Daily Photo kitt decided around 01:01 on 29 May 2016 to publish this:
From my adventures with Liza and Maeryn and Andy and Blue and Tilly.
Hello, Portland!
Blog Written with a loving hand by kitt some time around 11:13 on 27 May 2016I arrived this morning in Portland for Matthew's birthday. I am so way excited for this weekend! Friends! Birthdays! Portland! Really good friends! Really really really good friends!
So, in the airport, I, of course, found the carpeting, including some of the original! Hot damn!
The Peripheral
Book Notes Yeah, kitt finished writing this at 20:09 on 26 May 2016
ANOTHER BOOK NOT RECOMMENDED BY MOM. I know, shock.
Rob recommended this book, after I mentioned that I have been reading The Knowledge 10 pages a day in the morning while trying to absorb enough sunlight to make a dent in my vitamin D levels. He had just finished it, and mentioned that it's an entertaining read.
It is.
Imagine a future where only the rich survive some apocalyptic event, where everything around is a power game, and you can talk to the world 75 years in the past. Essentially, go with the assumption that subatomic particles can be be sufficiently quantum entangled that information can flow both through time both ways up and down stream, and that the game you're playing isn't really, let's say, a game.
Both Rob and I agree that the story takes a bit to get into, but once the action starts happening, it's a ride.
I enjoyed it. If you like Gibson's work, of course read it. If you don't know who Gibson is, wait a couple years, this will surely be a movie.
