comrade napoleon

i finished george orwell's animal farm last night, and it was exciting in more ways than one. first reason being that this is the first book i've finished out of the seventeen or so that i've started since my birthday. second reason being that reading it this time around i captured the bigger picture of the story, rather than thinking it was about a bunch of not-smart animals doing farm things (which is all i got out of it when i read it in fifth or sixth grade). and third it's about pigs which my fat ass can relate to. anyhoo it's a good one that i recomend. i also called to wish a happy 25th to peter, the ol' bastard. and i put a call in to the talbots to say hi to derek and josh (no more font colors to piss josh off) and talk about our disneyland family merry-making plans of '04. it was really good to hear from them but it made me hate the fact that we all live so far apart. all of us in different towns, blogging to keep in touch, and maybe calling here and there. we say it all the time but we need to start an animal farm of our own. a commune where we are all equal, all together all the time. location suggestions? it would be a fantastic time you know. think about it.

p.s. our friend lindsay is in l.a. for the week, meaning amber wants to go visit with her on thursday evening, meaning i may have an extra ticket to owen. i believe dirty was looking for one so he gets dibs, but if not it's up for grabs. let me know.

if dirty don't want then i call dibbies! let me know.
and if we all decided to move to the north west we could some serious acreage and live like hippies (without the dreds and dirt)

so you've read animal farm. and just a few months ago i read animal farm. so when we get together we can talk about animal farm. that means (you guessed it) you're in the book club! you'll be receiving your laminated membership card within 7-14 working days. Welcome to derdum. or is it cooldum? you know, I think cool people are actually a lot more dorky than we think and nerds are much more cool than we’ve imagined.

good call. the ash could catch the book on fire. and we all know what happens in 451ยบ. beer is fine. so is wine. and a tobacco pipe. everything else is off limits.
