Libraries of Death, and the Profession of Summer Break
I'm trying out a library of my own. Yes, I ripped the style off from Sohmer. But his is way cleaner and more useful. Which begs the question: if you copy someone, and do it worse, is it still some sort of infringement?
George Carlin, dirty comedian, died last night at the age of 71. I'm pretty sure it was negative energy that killed him. Funny, yes. Positive outlook on... anything? Not a chance.
That's fine, I think Lewis Black is a pretty good stand-in for "funny pissed off old man." Lewis is quite a bit funnier, but I try not to talk smack about the recently-deceased.
I grabbed a couple of books at Borders tonight, in an effort to kick-start my own creative juices: Lies of Locke Lamora and Fool Moon. I have started the Hero project, but I haven't gotten very far with it. Funny how hot summer days can just kinda slip by reading webcomics, playing Civ IV, going to the pool, walking the dogs, and working part time.
I am a professional time-waster.

I saw George Carlin perform a few years ago. He was hilarious, but he did look a bit creaky. He sort of went from counter-culture icon to an angry crank, ala Don Imus.

Sounds like time well-spent to me :-).
