Tantalizing tidbits galore

It's amazing the things you can learn while not writing a paper on the nature of the self and the phenomenal world.
Here's a sample, no particular order, and in a nested list because organization is key:

At first, Horsley laughed and said, "Just because it's printed in the media, people jump to believe it."

"Is it true?" Colmes asked.

"Hey, Alan, if you want to accuse me of having sex when I was a fool, I did everything that crossed my mind that looked like I..."

AC: "You had sex with animals?"

NH: "Absolutely. I was a fool. When you grow up on a farm in Georgia, your first girlfriend is a mule."

AC: "I'm not so sure that that is so."

NH: "You didn't grow up on a farm in Georgia, did you?"

Seb. I am in germany and reading "Kafka on the Shore" by Murakami.
I cannot describe this book. Pretentious at times, Yes. Painfully Japanese in thrust, Yes. (you know, the whole lonesome, cherry blossom world full of gnomic, concrete phrases that are still hopelessly vague. <-- maybe that bordered on it, but i aint japanese so i cant do it right.) lots of talk of philosophers. far from subtle, but still strangely appealing.
uebrigens, i'll be home from deutschland in 1.5 weeks. let's get-down with our bad selves then.
im incoherent. and would like to read that paper of yours

So is that a recommendation for "Kafka on the Shore"?

I will be home from the 20th to the 1st-ish. That looks like just the right window.

I'll see what I can do about this paper (it really wasn't very good, and missed the point of the assignment. Also, I didn't have time to proofread it, so there might be some extra idiocy). It's long, but I'm thinking of appending sections of it to future -ive-ournal entries.
