Stranger than Fiction
Jul. 23rd, 2007 10:49 pmI just finished watching Stranger than Fiction and wow. That was really good. I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did.
Turning y'all on
Jul. 18th, 2007 07:54 pmOK, maybe not totally turning you on, but I just found this website. It's called Zafu and supposedly it will find the perfect pair of jeans for you (and the perfect bra.) So I just went through and filled out the info to find my perfect pair of jeans and I'm intrigued. I've never tried any of the pairs suggested, so I think I might have to give it a whirl.

I love the internet.
Being without internet makes me sad.
Lots of things have happened in the time I didn't have internet.
Will post later.

I <3 Books!
Aug. 10th, 2005 12:32 pmSo one of my errands yesterday was to go to the library. I still need to get my own library card, so I'm using RTL's for the time being. I forgot to take a piece of mail addressed to me to prove that I am a Berkeley resident. I'll remember when I return the books I checked out.
I love reading. I also like not having to pay for books that turn out to be no good. When I lived in Richmond, I went to the library all the time. The library was right across the street. The library here is a wee bit further away, but not by much. I forgot how much I like the library. Yay for the public library.
The other thing that I got to learn about yesterday was the new check out system. Berkeley has installed a RFID system to make checking out books faster and easier. However, this has caused an uproar among Berkeley residents. I can't decide if it's good or bad. After waiting in a long line, it took me 2 seconds to check out my book choice. However, do I really want to be riding the BART with an RFID sending out a small radio frequency? I think it falls into the same line as the government having access to my library records. Just because I check out Catcher in the Rye or The Anarchist's Cookbook does not mean that I'm up to no good. Knowledge is power. It reminds me of the place in Berlin where Hitler had all the books he didn't want other people to read burned.
OK, off that rant. I love the library (RFID system be damned) and now I'm going to go read while I fix my Season Pass list.
