Room 1408

I'm adding shout outs to the blog despite the suspicions that nobody even reads the thing, so they probably won't do anything.

Life in the program is getting to become a wierd mix between fun filled activities and dull moments when I'm waiting for lights out.
It's strange, isn't it?

I've burned through 3 books in the process so far: Orson Scott Card's Shadow Puppets, The Fifth Harry Potter, and Stephen King's Everything's Eventual. They were all very good books, though I have to say my opinion of Harry Potter is diminishing. I don't know why, but it just is. So sue me. Puppets was a very good ending to Card's Bean saga, though it is a bit sad- poor Achilles, nobody really loved him. Stephen King was as always entertaining, I think some of the stories in it were the most "scary" I've ever read. *sigh* What to do, what to do....

Ok, life at Stanford is getting along with me fairly well, though it could be better. The weekend is fun, we went to the beach on Saturday and were given the freedom to roam all Sunday. Stanford is actually a pretty neat place. One of their prime attractions seems to be Jambajuice, a place that sells smoothies boosted with your choice of nutrition. "Jambaism #5: Your body is a temple, littering is prohibited." Next to the bountiful smoothies, fountain hopping seems to be popular- it involves dunking yourselves in as many of the 22 fountains on campus as possible. This may take a while, as Stanford is the 2nd largest campus in the world- next to Moscow.

More later.
