As it stands...

There's something terribly lonely, these days, about watching the sunrise, through a basement curtain, alone. That, and i don't have a good book, to keep me up/fall asleep to... That's so sad...

"Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid," while interesting... well, it requires all of my faculties. I wouldn' understand it, enough to dream in it. Gibson's certainly not "dumb" reading, but there's some.. quality, there, that i understand, no matter what. Some of the concepts in Hofstadter's stuff are completely new to me...

Anyway. Sleep.

Dream Well

I stole this copy from my dad. He stole my copies of Insomnia, Cryptonomicon, and some others, for a while. I have his copy of 2001, and many many Asimov books :) I think we're even, overall. heheh

Don't think i'm familiar with Dushamp. I'm... oddly cultured...

not many are familiar with him :)
Duchamp has had a major impact on art, whose very nature he challenged and redefined as a concept rather than product by questioning its traditionally privileged optical nature. He mostly challenged art during the Dadist and surrealism period in the early 1900s. He's quite a genius.
