  Saw Planet of the Apes tonight. Pretty pimp remake. Didn’t come close to the original of course. But I liked it. You know the weird part about it? That overplayed line in all the previews that has General Thade saying, “Get the Spaceman!” I don’t recall actually hearing it in the movie! I’m probably just dumb though.

  Ok, Neil Diamond is coming to Columbus two weeks after I leave for school. Later, he goes to Moline, Illinois. Moline!! But no Chicago!!!! Gah.

  Well, since A Brave New World has been completed, I must move on to another tale. I chose the Half Priced Book Store on Lane Avenue as my starting point. In the fifty cent clearance rack, I saw the first two installments of Isaac Asimov’s Foundation trilogy. The cover proclaims the trilogy as the Hugo Award winner for best all time science fiction/fantasy series. Yes, that means it beat out Lord of the Rings. Undoubtedly, my expectations are high.

  I finished A Brave New World last night. Tight book. My quote of the day is:

      "But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin."
      "In fact," said Mustapha Mond, "you're claiming the right to be unhappy."
      "All right then," said the Savage defiantly, "I'm claiming the right to be unhappy."

  Ok, so I’m painting in the 90 degree heat today. I’m painting a fence. Do you know what this fence surrounds? A pool! Those things that are filled with water. Those things that make summer so fun. Those things that make you want to do a cannonball and splash around and pretend like you’re 10 years old again. Yeah, you know what I’m talking about. And guess what? We didn’t finish the fence! So that means more temptation tomorrow!!!! Whoooo!!!!!!!!!!!

  Maybe this is the case across the pond, but I’m pretty sure I’ve gotten dumber after those many many hours of Hexen and Duke Nukem in high school…
