IOU A Post Internet

Arrived an hour from SM. Withdrew some cash, bought my vitamins, a can of powdered milk, and two books. One is a biography of Woody Allen by Eric Lax. The other is a novel by Norman Mailer, The Gospel According to the Son.

I was thinking of filing some articles this evening, but I don’t feel like doing it. I read Watchmen instead, which goes without saying is much greater than the movie. Cripes, I should have read the graphic novel first, then watch the movie. But I keep doing things backwards. A handicap.

I was not reading much the past weeks. Except plenty of comic books. I finished one fine book though, which I think deserves a whole post. The book is called Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. Don’t be discouraged by that title as I was when Louie told me about this book. It took exactly a month before I picked that book again, and read it till wee hours in the morning.

If you are like me, you should read the book. It can do you good. It has done me some good, to say the least. Because we all deserve better in life. And because of that book, I now have a plan, which I am now really hoping to achieve, one day at a time. But these things are best for another post.

I still did not finish reading Look Homeward, Angel or rather I stopped after reading half of that thick book, and put it back to the bookshelf. Speaking of bookshelf, I fail to mention it in my last post that I have a new bookshelf. I finally have a decent shelf for my books which some of them were damaged by dampness and pests (sigh!).

That’s that for now. Need a smoke outside. When I get back, I’ll watch A Clockwork Orange. If I like it, which I think I will, I’ll go find the book. Also saw The Bridge of San Luis Rey last night, and have yet to read the book. Yes, I am doing everything backwards these days.

Miscellaneous: Quick Shopping, Graphic Novels, Books, Centrum & Magic Potion Cup

This should have also appeared in the previous post, but it had gone too long. So I decided to make a separate one. Because I want this blog to appear like I update it regularly, and also because I was in a hurry that time.

The thing is I wrote A Boned Life, Books, Comics, & My New Job (Yay!) in Neotopia, an internet café you usually found in malls. I was in SM that time where, after I published said article, I had a quick shopping. When I said quick shopping, it means buying these sorts of things below that have kept me going as a poor wordslinger.

If you are like a doomed-souled troglodyte like me, a Hierophant of the Church of Awesome, an epitome of Machiavellian proportion if you will, your existence will not be as closer as living in The Sprawl or tasting a life of a well-off Coruscantian, and your life will be cut off short, without a regular supply of these great lores, or at least it is in my case:

Yes, kids, aside from my nightly glass of milk, I also take Centrum after breakfast. I bought 3 graphic novels (or so I thought they were all graphic novels) at discounted prices. Two novels at 15 pesos each. One written by Louis L”Amour, the other is by E. M. Forster. There’s a green neat cup right there which was purchased at only 82 pesos. Also just click on the picture to see it bigger, and awesomer!

These are three graphic novels. One of them I found out at home is not. Guess which one? It’s author is one of my latest discovery. Although I’d always heard of his name mentioned with great reverence in the nerd world, I’ve just started to devour his great tales of awezomse.

Say hello! to my water-slash-coffee-slash-gin cup I now use in the office. Isn't it a beauty? Will drink my daily dose of magic potion from it. Especially when the Boss is not around. Now, maybe you want to tell me about some special things that have kept you going everyday, or maybe about your cup too?
