I'm a web developer for NOVICA. I'm fascinated by languages, even though I only speak English and a little Spanish. I can count in Korean and have numerous language and linguistics books. I'm living within walking distance of CSUN where I share an apartment with my girlfriend and 2 cats. I'm happy. I write sporadically (I really need to finish that short story), with every intention of making a living at it at an undisclosed point in the future. I taught physics at Emperor's College Winter Term 2008. I love games and stories and music and computers and science and "and." I drink my coffee 100% black 80% of the time and 80% black 20% of the time. Also, there are other things. 7332 42

Civilization and War

Saturday I played Civilization, with some friends. It was an all day event, with much in the way of Thanksgiving leftovers. I had a blast. Jenn won.

I woke up this morning and decided to read the book my cousin had left by the bed. I'm watching his dog while he and his wife are in Mexico. After reading it I decided to update my what I'm reading page. Not suprisingly, I've been reading a lot about go. I still have more books to add. I've read the first four Harry Potter books in the last few months.

The book my cousin left for me was Slaughterhouse - Five, by Kurt Vonnegut. The Tralfamadorians tell us to "Ignore the awful times, and concentrate on the good ones." Ignore the horrors of war past, future, and present, and concentrate on the good times. Of course, they think free will is silly...
