    I went to the gym Tamin but I didn't do much.

    My back sucks and my left hand has the grip strength of a wee babby.

    UGH.

    Jaqen H'ghar is amazing.

    I have Dance with Dragons right here in front of me. I have no idea why I'm not reading it right now. My bookreading habits aren't in the peak condition they once were. 8(

    ...and of course, as always, Kill Hitler.

    I need to upgrade power supply as well and RAM

    current power supply has been whining for six months and will probably explode soon

    actually now that I'm remembering I think I just have the onboard working for me right now

    I'm so bad at this

    After a long exercise break, I did some cardio today. It was only 30 minutes, but man I am feeling it now. I'm excited to be back on my exercise schedule, I just hope I stick to it.

    very vauge information about crypto (no specific info)
    Of all the Neal Stephenson books to be cursed by a a shit ending, crypto is about the worst. It is the typical case of Terrible Ending Syndrome against which all other shitty books are measured. Even worse than Diamond Age which is pretty far up the all-time worst endings list.

    There are a couple decent short stories worth of content in the rambling, pointless mass of the book but as a whole it is not a good book.

    I would also like to start lifting, I have a book on it and everything, but it's just so much to read. I guess I should start with one move at a time and work my way up to understanding.

    the phrase "nerd cool" makes me shrink back and hiss like a repulsed vampire

    i was feeling like getting some Dan Simmons but all of the books in his series after the first ones are unsatisfying

    Get yourself some Poul Anderson. Like "Trader to the Stars" or "The Earth Book of Stormgate" or "Ensign Flandery".

    I don't know the brand name. It is a nice office chair my coworker was selling because he is moving soon. It is very clean and he did a good job cleaning it.

    in that it was preparing us for the next one, which was even worse, yes. it was setting us up for the inevitable failure of his series, as all series of such length tend to fail.

    it's accurate. And the book is from way before the term was ruined by the movie of the same name.
