mama said to knock you out

i've been really impressed with the FX show "Lights Out." awesome drama about a former heavy weight champion boxer who is losing money and trying to figure out what to do. FX just has really good shows. USA cranks them out as well.

Baseball starts up again very soon. FC Barcelona has been doing well. all is well in my sports world.
well, warriors are pretty terrible but that is to be expected.

i've been watching the last movie in the "Millennium" series. soooo good. eventually i will get around to reading them.

bookmania

I started up "Swann's Way" by Marcel Proust again. Whose full name is somewhat audacious and pretentious: Valentin Louis Georges Eugène Marcel Proust. Either way, it is a wonderful book. Im about 50 pages in. It is a trilogy. "In Search of Lost Time," respectively.
Most lay people may recognize the name from the delightful film "Little Miss Sunshine." Steve Carell's character, Frank Ginsberg (perhaps an allusion to Allen?), is, as i recall, the "preeminent Proust scholar."

also i have misplaced a considerable amount of my philosophy collection. about 3 nietzsche texts and 2 kant texts. only 5 books, but in the scheme of things, they are pretty significant.

and the oklahoma city friends of the library sale is coming up. it is amazing. it is a piece of heaven in the hell that is oklahoma. i am quite positive that it is the vacation spot for pestilence.
i plan on adding some nice new materials for my book collection.

mostly i want to write about space.
i want to write something that is a mix between "the fountain," "the reasons i wont be coming," and "sunshine."
