It's exactly the same here in Alabama. A proposal was made about a month ago for a new library to be built in an empty Kroger building, but this isn't going to happen. The city's money is going to increase the size of the Sportsplex. Which isn't at all necessary. |

I'm reading Greil Marcus' Mystery Train for the millionth time.

That's a decent book. On a related note, I'm reading Carla Ricci's Mary Magdalene and Many Others: Women Who Followed Jesus (1991). |

![]() for probably the 8th time. i just go about reading bits and pieces since it's not really in a novel/linear format. |
Holy crap, what edition is that! I've never seen that cover, and it's called "The Naked Lunch" not "Naked Lunch."
One of my favorites, it gets funnier each read. |
i don't know, i googled it looking for the cover. the one i have is a really obnoxious bright yellow.
it is pretty hilarious. dig the signature by the way. love that album. one of the best parts of Fear and Loathing in las vegas is when they're playing the album in the vegas airport and hunter thompson is describing it...the part where mick goes "i think i busted a button on my trousers, hope they don't fall down. you don't want my trousers to fall down, now, do ya?"...you'd have to read it, unless i can dig up the paragraph. |
Ah, yeah, I've got the yellow edition, too. It's so people three blocks away can see you're reading the dirty book with all the male homosexual graphic passages and shit about drugs.
I don't remember that in Fear and Loathing but it's been a long time since I picked that up. I'll have to check it out. I'm currently obsessed with the Gimme Shelter movie, too, but I can't stand the Altamont footage anymore. But the stuff from the American tour before that and the Mussell Shoals scenes are priceless. |

i love how keith tunes his guitar AFTER he's done playing prodigal son. and if you ask me he jacked that top with the sparkles he had on at altamont and at madison square garden from anita. |
Yeah, that is a pretty bizarre top. I love the shirt he wears in the studio, too. And I lust after that see-through guitar, whatever the hell it is. A gibson of some kind.
|
the marilyn shirt?
the snakeskin boots are killer. gtr made by dan armstrong/ampeg. they're very heavy. |
Quote:
Love the boots. Totally Keith. The Marilyn shirt's good, but I was thinking more the pastel flowery one he wears before that in the scene wear he pulls the Cousin Minnie coupon out of the pocket. |

Can someone recommend a book on the origin and/or the evolution of language?

Quote:
anything by steven pinker should do --- edit: i just saw his stuff: http://pinker.wjh.harvard.edu/books/tli/index.html i'd stick to "the language instinct", though that is not a book on evolution per se. however, th book's got a schweet bibliography that should feed you for years to come |
Looks interesting. Thanks.
His book The Blank Slate seems good, as well. Have you read it? However, I shouldn't be too quick to buy two books by the same author without having read anything else by him. |
