I stayed up until almost 7:00 am finishing up "Perdido Street Station" by China Mieville. I don't know how much I actually liked the novel, but it had been ages since I indulged myself in a good long read like that. I probably liked it well enough to borrow the sequel from the library, but I don't know that I'll become a Mieville fan anytime soon. The story was just a bit too... contrived and inconsistent for me.

I usually like stories where they try to blend fantasy and technology together, but it helps to have some grasp of the fundamentals of the technology. I expect physical explanations of things to make sense, thank you very much!

Whoa.

What IS that odd sensation I just had. Could it have been an impulse to get off my butt and actually DO something today? Why, I think it was. I wonder if it'll be back...

Bad Memes Rising.

I don't belive these results for a moment:

The Resistance Achtung! You are 38% brainwashworthy, 22% antitolerant, and 42% blindly patriotic

Welcome to the Resistance (Der Widerstand)! You believe in freedom, justice, equality, and your country, and you can't be converted to the the dark side. Breakdown: your Blind Patriotism levels are borderline unhealthy, but you show such a love of people from everywhere and a natural resistance to brainwashing, you would probably focus your energy to fight the Fuehrer with furor, so to speak. Conclusion: born and raised in Germany in the early 1930's, you would have taken up ARMS against the oppressors. Or even your friends' oppressors. Congratulations! Less than 5% of all test takers earn a spot in the Resistance! The Would You Have Been A Nazi? Test - it rules -

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 56% on brainwashworthy You scored higher than 18% on antitolerant You scored higher than 56% on patriotic
