giant book of the awesome

so - andy bought a book tonight - 'a fortress of solitude' by john lethem - sounds real damn interesting -- covers class issues, poverty, gentrification et cetera et cetera in a fiction story. anyone who knows me and knows me well understands that i revel in fiction.. i take baths in its frothy goodness. as well, anyone who knows me the least bit understands that i dig social issues... so, these things - together - praises the LORD with my soul. good stories just make me breathe better. honestly. i breathe with sweet nectar lungs when i'm reading a great story. so - in a round about way, what i'm saying is this.. i can't wait to read it.

tomorrow - we are going to pensacola beach to maybe get bit by a shark... and other things, too.. but hopefully the shark thing will fly. also, i wanted to say this is my first out of three vacations i'm taking this summer - and even though i'm a jobless bastard - i know you all are jealous..
