The 2nd book is where it really starts to get good. Took years before I got to it and once I read that one I was hooked.

Try The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle or Hard-boiled Wonderland and the End of the World. Also liked

um... I have no response to this...

I can remember a few years where the sun barely peeked through the clouds to warm the day over 80, if that. Not to mention wind storms all week. Makes for a very messy, was supposed to evaporate pond, that we now have to figure out how to get off playa.

Umm.. sure not a problem at all, because the weather is sooo predictable.

Anyone who has been to BM knows that hippies are considered the bottom tier of the BM social scale. So not a hippie event really. I do find it enduring though when those who have never been to BM have opinions about BM, use hippies as their reasoning as to why they think BM sucks.

first off, alot of people say Burningman sold out this year, well I say it sold out years ago, but that's neither her nor there... er something.

Well if I could watch it without having to download it from the internets, it would have at least one more viewer. Just saying

Saw these guys with Rancid at the Warfield some years ago. At one point the lead singer says, "I see alot of kids out there in the audience tonight, I want you all up here on stage right now, because I'm going to help you have a rock moment" The kids all get up there, about 15 of them. The lead singer then says…

We were early adopters and until recently grandfathered in on a great deal. Then the "you should switch up your plan and add streaming" emails came along. We thought about it and decided we could save some money as we tend to have alot of NotFlixs on our shelves. So we went to 1 disc plus streaming giving up the good…

My favorite. Love playing this stuff when my mom visits. That moment when she realizes something isn't right, the look on her face is priceless

We have ants that stink like Raid when you squish them(Is that ironic or coincidence???). We hate them and have lived and dealt with them for 10 years now. They just keep coming back. Worse than the smell is the fact that they like to nest in electronics equipment. Don't let me tell you the Laptop of Doom story of 07.…

I always liked this planet classification: If an object in an orbit around the sun is larger in total than the sum total of all other objects in that same orbit, it gets to be classified as a planet. Accounts for why Pluto got demoted and why Vesta doesn't get promoted.

Would need to find this place right after the zombie apocalypse occurs.

I think the proper way to segue into #4 is to have the group find out that the outside of the matrix world is really just another layer of the matrix. As in, a place for the folks who figured out the matrix to dwell and to think they are outside but really are still inside providing some battery power.

Awesome! Now I can attend Motorhead shows without earplugs again!!!

Yea, needed a gigabit Ethernet cable, so went to frys and bought a 25 footer for some insane price. Really needed one immediately, so had no choice. Went to monoprice a little later and bought a 25 footer and about 10 other Ethernet cables of different sizes for about a third of the price of the original 25ft fry's…

I thought the show was pretty dreadful. About 15 minutes in, my wife said "I'm out of here, this really sucks". When I finally got to bed after watching the whole thing she asked if I watched the whole thing. I said "Yup" she said "Why did you do that?" Really couldn't think of a good answer.

I'm really hoping they don't waste a cool name like "Vulcan" on this crappy planet. Let's save it for a planet later, like one where we can actually see the people and we see that they have pointy ears.
