Mad Hatters and Firemen

The last week has been a blur of job searching, school applying and surfing. Oh, and also reading. I finished reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Fahrenheit 451. Pretty interesting books. Multiple times I've heard people talk about how Lewis Carroll must have been on some type of drugs to have written his Alice books. Although they were a bit bizarre, the story was a children story. I read a short biography on the dude and the story was written for a little girl named Alice, not a drug lord named Jaberwocky. I'm glad I cleared that up.

Fahrenheit 451 was so interesting that it's no wonder that it's a classic. If you haven't read it I won't spoil it for you but you must go out and read the book now. No, I'm serious go out and read it. Although it was written 50 something years ago the book hasn't aged badly, it applies today if not more than the past. mmmmm sweet butterscotch.

I think as Americans we spend way too much time being or trying to be entertained. Also, I made a deal with myself that I have to strike up a conversation with at least one surfer every time I go out. Plus every time I eat ice cream I have chosen to salute humble Toves.
