instead of posting this blog last night, i chose to be fully immersed in watching the Olympics. I HAD SUCH A FUN TIME watching Alysa Liu's free skate. it was genuinely so inspiring and warm.
i saw a rainbow and snow in the mountains on my commute home.
i've been reading The Hacker and The Ants by Rudy Rucker. I really dislike the main character so far, but i'm finding this a fun read because it's a "near-future" (having been published in 1994) "cyberspace" novel. so there are some really fun descriptions of VR and imaginings of how the 1994 near future looked like in regards to the internet and technology.
Here's a quote for the flavor:
"Anyway, I kept meaning to go get a fake keyboard, but physically going places and buying material objects for my computer was not something I was into. I mean walking into a place like Fry's Electronics was always a downer, everyone sucking down Jolt Colas and munching candy bars, no women in sight, just males--pitiful bewildered larvae from under a rock, or pompous bearded lawn-dwarves with tenor voices, or square-forehead Frankenstein monsters, or sweaty strivers with no fingernails--lumps and losers to a man. How had I ended up associated with this class of people?"
and i almost forgot! one of my coworkers posted horsegiirL in our music chat & i lost my damn mind. So i got to gush about her for a moment.
