    i accomplished my goal of reading 2 books this year.

    1) the picture of dorian gray by oscar wilde. Awesome ending.. kind of dull at parts. The novel is driven by interesting character developments.

    2) i love yous are for white people by lac su (very quick / interesting read) . i read it in maybe 5 hours. it wasn't what i was expecting, which was maybe a chronological story of the author's life. The book turned out to be some defining moments of the Lac's life up to grade 11, and the authors reflection on these events. Without really spoiling it, it involves escaping communism from vietnam, life as a refugee in LA and life as a gang member in LA.

    i planned on finishing great expectations as book#2 before starting i love yous, but after flipping through the first few pages i just finished the book.

  • and the darwin award goes to .. me

    As i packed my food for work this morning i remembered that my office coffee bean stash has been depleted. So i roasted some more beans, waited a while and poured the (unbeknownst to me ) still hot beans into a ziplock bag for transport. while holding the bag up, coffee beans started pouring out onto the floor making a huge mess. It took me a few seconds to realize that the hot beans melted the freakin bag.

    in the headlines today..

    Creba killer was police tipster

    "The man convicted Tuesday in the Jane Creba murder was a police informer whose tips helped kick-start a massive sweep against gangsters in the Driftwood area of Toronto."

    way to give this guy a death sentence toronto star / tony wong. Now all his gang banger buddies know he's a snitch. and what do you think will happen to him... hmmmm i wonder.

    unless... this is some sort of trap the police have set up to get teh creba killer to confess by setting him up as a snitch, and then the cops will set him free and the gang will take care of him... oooh i think watch too police themed tv shows.

    collapse:

    i suggest everyone check this film out

    Collapse

    i remembered studying fiat money and our monetary system back in university (oh gosh ... so long ago... ). I was taught that some how the way the money system works, that there'll be more and more money. it  will , in theory, just keep growing and growing infinitely. I didn't really understand how that could possibly work in the long run but i didn't question it back then. well this film answers that question, it can't possibly be sustainable in the long run because we live in a finite world with finite (natural) resources.
