Random stuff

This is a collection of random ideas and thoughts, which I will probably post when I'm bored or procrastinating.

boredom

So dudes.

I'm at work and I'm bored. I've written 2 blog entries, but deleted them before posting. They weren't any good.

Now I'm sitting here writing an even worse one about the ones I deleted. Maybe I'll delete this one too. But then you'll never know that I wrote this, will you?

Of course it would help if I wouldn't finally drift off at 2am only to wake up at about 7am. Never mind - tonight I will sleep well.

I have to clean my room. You have no idea what an arduous (did I spell that correctly? it looks wrong!) task it is. If you keep it clean in the first place, you don't have to do cleaning marathons.

I want to read a good book. Can you recommend any?

    Depends what genre.

    Fantasy, Sci Fi - Dune by Frank Herbert
    Comedy Fanatasy - Anything by Terry Pratchett
    Amazingly Over-the-top-can't-put-down Action novel - Anything by Matthew Reily

    I've also heard memoirs of a geisha is cool, hopefully you've already read The Screwtape Letters & Surprised by Joy, other than that, I can't think of anything.

    Hmm... There's this book I liked, it's called Spare Parts, can't remember the author but its set in the future when you can buy a new body or something... She could only afford to get this new body to become an astronaut by selling her young body to some old fart, or something like that. It was cool.

    Sometimes Luke, you're just odd.

    But that's ok.

    Go read something by Brian McLaren, you won't regret it.

    You probably forgot that I'd be reading this post, so I'll be kind and resist the temptation to post the tremendous list of books that I would love to tell you about. Instead, I'll try to just pick one: Worlds in Collision by Immanuel Velikovsky. This is one of the extremely rare books I don't have in digital form. If anyone can find the entire thing for me, I'll be very happy! It's out of print now, for obvious reasons, and the one I'm reading is borrowed from someone who'll kill me if I scratch it. Basically, the book goes through a whole bunch of stories from different civilisations (elaborating mostly on the ones in the Bible, but he treats them the same as the others) and finds that they are so similar, that he has pieced together a solar system of events which he then used to predict many things about our solar system. For instance that venus would spin in the opposite direction from the other planets. The predictions were later found to be true, but his conclusions which generated those predictions are absolutely incredible. Too incredible for most to swallow, especially if they're not a Christian (Velikovsky himself was an evolutionist). I won't tell you what he found, just read the book!
    Aren't you glad I only recommended one?

    SE QLD was good... spent the last week or so in an apartment over-looking the Roma St parklands... that's a nice place.

    Will be back again in a few weeks (mid-Feb) and then either there or Sydney in May. It's one of those years where I get to fly & travel much more than I normally would, which is good 'cause I enjoy it.

    Keep behaving SE-QLD, from FNQ.
