Oso, i just saw this. And oddly enough, just finished reading the Poisonwood Bible. Beautiful read although the sense of desperation would leave me all suicidal at the end of each reading bout. I will indeed try to find some clever way of doing this on flickr, although I must admit I don’t read as much as I would like to.

EMC,

I only read a lot because I’m so bad at watching television. I don’t know why, but I get frustrated after about 5 minutes of TV so I wonder off and grab a book.

Derek,

Looking good. I gotta get a smile on my gravatar. I like music.

Bobbo,

If you’d ever like to become a buddhist poet and would like to garden with me in a Bezerkeley cottage, you just let me know.

HP,

Have you read the new Freakonomics column in New York Times magazine? Last week there was a pretty good article about monkey prostitution. I heard an interview with Steven Levitt on Weekend America that asked him what he’d do if he was president. He said he’d make abortion illegal to see if his findings on crime were accurate. Portate bien in TJ.

Cindylu,

You should have heard the way Robbins describes the “peach fuzz on the soft peachy skin of her slender thighs and plump breasts.” He was killing me.

Gustavo,

Jelly Bean Bonanza is a character of Even Cowgirls Get the Blues. She’s the revolutionary leader of a band of femenist cowgirls who take over the ranch of a millionaire who earned his fortune by selling harmful vaginal spray. She’s got some spunk. I sincerely hope that every californian our age listened to The Chronic and Nevermind in high school. Warren G, Pearl Jam, and Sublime were, of course, also requisite.

Looking forward to reading the memes.

Where did the Jelly Bean come from. Anyway, my comp/iPod is filled with too many music categories…how can someone (me) know every Jose Alfredo Jimenez lyric and also listen to stuff like Molotov and Nine Inch Nails. Como que no va, o no mezcla pero asi es. I am also into a lot of 80’s music like Duran Duran, The Police and Depeche Mode. Oh and also during high school I listened non stop to Dr. Dre’s the Chronic..and Nirvana’s Nevermind and In Utero. Ay te veo!

I would have a crush on someone named Jelly Bean too.

I just finished reading Freakonomics by University Of Chicago economics professor Steven Levitt. It’s a pretty good book actually, and abortion is among many of the controversial topics it covered. It proves that legalizing abortion in the 1970’s was one of the primary causes of such a drastic reduction in crime in the 1990’s. For some reason, several of my pro-life friends seem to find that conclusion troublesome, and others have even tried to argue against his findings. I, on the other hand, find it overall to be common sense.

As far as Music, that is a no brainer, I like what all conservatives like, Gansta rap, especially that Compton rap dawg!!! Of course, I try to switch it up a little and also listen to oldies and always have to have a CD of Los Cadetes De Linares close at hand for them drinking sessions…

I’d put more but I’m about to go to Tijuana with my roommate and celebrate the finishing of my finals.

The Dharma Bums is an excellent book. I think it hit closer to home for me because I could picture the exact streets they were walking down/living on in Berkeley.

Ah….Berkeley….

I should be embarrassed that I do not read as much as you do. In fact, I’m making it a goal to read some of the books you mentioned. Starting now. Well, as soon as I finish that Iowa Workshop book I bought.

I still owe you a packet of xeroxed stuff for you to read. It’s sitting on my desk. It will get to you soon.

Oso, keep an ojo out for mine.

Those two memes are two of the few I’d answer as they’re about music & books. It’s interesting to see what has affected people in different ways. It’s also a damned good way to get some new ideas on books to read and music to listen to.
