on craziness

in breaking news, my favouite book of 2006, the road, wins the pulitzer.

after reading steven johnson's 'everything bad is good for you', i decided to try my hand at gaming. as a child ive played a bit of pacman and mario and prince of persia, but that's about it. maybe 15-20 hours of my entire life.
i have one major fear of games: i have enough solitary obsessions as is, books, music & movies are alienating pursuits when carried to the level of mania that i take them to. and i am scared that adding games to the list might be dangerous.
but nevertheless after reading johnson's convincing arguments on how popular culture makes us smarter, i have decided to try a strategy game and was recommended age of empires 3 by a friend. so i have it installed on my comp. i will play it one day soon.

meanwhile, how do guys live with beards? i have been tryign to grow one for the last two weeks and it itches like hell. so off it went just now. two weeks of being stared at and questioned, all gone.
