I've been carrying around a pocket full of pebbles all week, smooth largish oddly-shaped ones I found by the barn while I was helping Dad put the roof on the new chicken coop. I've been keeping them in the pocket of my sweatshirt to fidget with, I love the feel of them in my fingers. One's elongated and bumpy, like the handle of a bicycle, one's

I absolutely sympathize with your plight in finding good reading material on the elements. If you can find anything, please let me know. I haven't had any luck yet...
One of the things I love about Jim at the Trading Post was how casually he slips into conversation statements like he wasn't thinking about something because he was "out there walking with Grandfather (the Sun)." He's such an Old Soul. ::sigh:: I really miss him and Beth.

I love solid things. This past semester I found myself gripping desk edges and textbooks just to reassure myself that they really exist, let the solid objects convince me that there is such a thing as reality and that, furthermore, all is not one. I love what's concrete, what's genuine and rock-solid and firm, strong and enduring things. The Law of Conservation of Matter makes me happy.
That Albert Einstein action figure sounds pretty rad. Was there a movie in Spanish about Like Water For Chocolate? If so, I saw it for Spanish class my senior year of high school...

Isn't it funny how sometimes you just seem to crave certain textures like that? I had a phase a while back where I was massively obsessed with corduroy, and then there's those buttons that just feel really good to push, so you end up turning the TV on and off over and over again just because the feel of that button on that particular remote control is so darn satisfying.

(...how dare you call me obsessive compulsive.)

Yep, I believe the movie's based on the book. Although I don't see how they could make it into anything but a soap opera; the book was good, but I wouldn't've thought it'd translate well into a movie. How was it?

Y'know, that might be why I used to like video games so much. Press button: get button-pressing sensation: get feedback: press new button. I think I like the feel of pressing buttons for console video games more than with computers...the feedback system feels different, the video game often feels much more responsive...
The movie was pretty good. I don't remember much about it, though, just that it was a decent movie. Sorry I can't remember more.

AHA! I do believe we've found the answer to the mass-male-video-game-obsession.

I vote we type it up all pretty with lots of footnotes and send it in to the nearest sociological academic journal, posthaste, before somebody else comes up with the same idea....
