the curious incident of the dog in the night-time

i borrowed this book from jason. it's a good book because different parts of it will make you laugh out loud, or want to cry, or make you think about some things differently. it's got mystery, comedy, adventure, drama, all rolled up in one. it's a pretty quick read, too. i recommend it. i think you'll enjoy it.





a definition of love:

"...because loving someone is helping them when they get into trouble, and looking after them, and telling them the truth, and Father looks after me when I get into trouble, like coming to the police station, and he looks after me by cooking meals for me, and he always tells me the truth, which means he loves me."

scott adams

if that name looks familiar to you, it should. scott adams is the
creator of dilbert. i put a link to his daily comic strip and also to
his blog in my links section. i understand if you don't think the
comic strip is that funny. i can imagine it's probably pretty hard to
be funny everyday in only 3 squares. but the blog is hilarious. if
you don't already read it daily, i strongly suggest you subscribe at
least to the blog immediately. did you know scott adams owns 2
restaurants in the bay area? they're in dublin and pleasanton, and
they're called stacey's at waterford and stacey's cafe, respectively,
and apparently he visits them once a week, so that probably means he
lives in the bay area, too. he says he's written some books, and so
i'm going to have to add at least one to my ever growing queue of
books to read.
