Imitating Life

I came across this one, it's been a relatively relaxed day at work, and I was catching up on my webcomix fix. Immigration and S&M are easily the same thing. I have only experienced getting my wife into the US of A so far, but I just can't imagine any other country's immigration process being so painful, convoluted, and incomprehensible.

Royal Pardon

I'm really glad A royal pardon frees a Moroccan facebook user.

I had nothing else to post. Although I will say dooce's latest post, with some selected hatemail and her responses to each was entertaining and almost made me wish I got some hate mail. On the other hand, I'd have to actually spend time each day posting stuff, and describing stuff, and being interesting to read. The last part, I am working on. I like the way I write and I think other people should too.

Idoru

I know you've missed my book reviews. I just read Idoru, not as heavy as some of the other stuff I've read lately. It's somewhat interesting in the characterization of the Hidden City, and the nanotech that re-builds after earth quakes, but otherwise just simple escapist sci-fi. Author was William Gibson.

Bag

Just realized the word 'orgasm' was sitting at the top of my blog for far too long. How about instead of sex, we do violence? Where can I get this bag?!? It's pretty cool. I was just going to have the picture there on the right, but I guess I'm too dum. However, I can make a link.

Orgasm

I realized yesterday I'm very behind in my entries which neatly recap the books I'm reading. I say neat recap but I mean unsolicited ramble.

Current reading up until yester-eve was The Elusive Orgasm by a Dr. Lesbian Someone or Other. My dear wife doesn't read as quickly so she wanted me to give her the Cliff's Notes. I feel comfortable enough with you, loyal reader, to pass on the same Cliff's notes that I gave the wife: Chapters 1-3 are basically the same stuff you'll read in every "how to have better sex" book, including descriptions of anatomy etc, but the gist was that anxiety and resentment are the culprits. Chapters 4 and 5 start to get into is it this? is it that? maybe it's this, maybe it's that, which I told Wife she'll have to read herself, because being a man I can't possibly know what's going through her mind when nothing but sweet sweet salvation is the only thing going through mine.

Before that book were two self help books: Do What You Are and The Art of Speedreading People both by the same authors Paul D. Tieger and Barbara Barron-Tieger and both heavily built on the concept of personality Type, as described by Myers and Briggs. I think I learned a few things I would've like'd to have had come naturally, and am only just catching on to the idea that one can be successful in communicating with serious people.
