Been almost a month. Since the last post I've tried starting The Wounded Land, another in the Thomas Covenant series, but left it alone a short while after starting it, and didn't feel compelled to start something else. This seems to be a trend. I lose interest in books after a bad experience. Since my last post about books, I think, I have read A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. I listened to it because my wife is reading it, or was, for a book club she belongs to. Not great, but not terrible either. I have started into Bad Money by Kevin Phillips. He also wrote American Theocracy, a book my wife gave me, and one I started but left off early to read something more interesting at the time. That is where the book reading is .... well actually, there is one other. Over at Deus Ex, a blog by a former tv producer, the author has made a book he's written available online, for a price. He writes well, so I bought it and put it on my Nokia to read.

School is over. What a joke it is. Most of the last tests were take home, which of course don't require any studying because the resources are available. Classes were cut short because one of the instructors had to endure some kind of surgery. We still have clinical, but 2 weeks of classes were canceled. The instructor announces this, then has the audacity to get pissed off when she gets the notion the students think they get little out of the class.

Since the semester is over, I have more time. I was fortunate enough to get a vocabulary word list from next year's instructor, and I have started in on that to get ahead just a bit. Only problem is, while doing my self imposed 'homework', I get drowsy just as I do when reading and feel as if I need a nap. I don't spend all my time on that though, I've started messing with Linux again, and have Ubuntu on my tablet convertible, on an older laptop my wife uses, and I'm running Yellow Dog on the playstation 3. Well, I was until I tried getting the wireless working and it fucked the system up. It's not a big problem, Sony has set up the system so people could do shit like that and not really ruin everything.
