I'm in a fickle mood with books these days. Gave up on 'The Fabric of Reality' by David Deutch because his writing style was so debate oriented and circular...I never felt I was going FORWARD. So I probably missed out on some good parts but so many other books I wanted to check out that I couldn't sit any longer with that one. On to NONZero: The Logic of Human Destiny by Robert Wright....which seemed so promising as the intro dealt with game theory and Teilhard de Chardin and the Omega Point AND Richard Dawkins..but what happened? I can't tell you...halfway to the altar (somewhere in chapter 2) my enthusiasm dwindled and I ran off revelling in my freedom.
In the meantime I devoured Annie Dillard's little book 'The Writing Life' as artist angst therapy or at least commiseration.

So now where are we? Inter-library loan granted me with the book 'E-topia' by William J. Mitchell, author of City of Bits...so I'm reading that..since I'm more than a little interested in emerging architectures in cyberspace. I'll probably get through it soon, it's not very long, but I'm not incredibly hopeful that it will be much new information...I couldn't even remember reading City of Bits, though I did. Most memorable were the gorgeous illustrations of urban planning through history...

ANyhoo, By the way I did get my blood back to coursing at the gym that day,running, weights, etc. twas good, yeeha I will be so BUFF;).

Then yesterday LO and BEHOLD it's the SUN!!! So I was manic all day again and felt great. Walking outside, hammering in the studio, spraypainting small artworks, dragging huge bags of leaves to the dump...going for a slice of pizza mid-day with a good girlfriend. Reading at night. a 'good' day.:)

Now it's time to give today a chance.!
