Crazy busy

So the past week was just non stop it seems. My dad went in for hip surgery on Wednesday in Pensacola. He made it fine and came home on Saturday. However, I got really ill Wednesday while at the hospital and that just wore me out for the rest of the week. So much interesting stuff occurred while I was in the hospital and ...ooof its just too far back in my head to retrieve all of it now it seems. Maybe I should take a recorder with me.

I finished the book A Cat Named Oscar while at the hospital. I bought it back in Sept of last year and just forgot about it. The book is really less about the Cat which can tell when people will die in a nursing home in RI and more about how dementia alters a famiily. You can imagine, it's scary, heartbreaking, and also fascinating, I had to fight back tears in the surgery waiting room when finishing the book.

I've been hungry for another sci fi adventure and finally started my next book called Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester. People love this book, with many saying its THE ultimate sci fi book. It starts off with a scientist accidentally figuring out how to teleport himself. In an effort to reproduce the teleportation, they get suicide volunteers becuase it seems you can only teleport when you're in mortal danger. It's a crazy beginning. Teleportation suddenly changes everything, economics, crime, property, and sports. However, you can not go further than 1000 miles. hahahaha I love that!

Anyway, this week should be very busy. My running slacked last week, so hopefully I can get back on it this week.

oh see now I remembered something, in my daily reading of everything Prometheous, there was discussion on an imdb forum about some script saying the space jockeys force two men to have sex for experimental reasons. Someone decided to flex their uber knowledge and said no no no, it was "Male rape by telepathic proxy!". To which someone responded, "Isn't that a punk band?". I totally think someone should pick up that name! Too funny.
