I take back 2007!

I shouldn't have stopped watching LOST. I now feel like I've really missed out. I talk a big game about how I'm over that show and I don't miss it, but I'm lying. All the talk of the season's final episode has got me wishing I'd never given up on the show.

I did finally purchase a tea kettle. I caved in and used my Macy's gift card on a pretty standard looking model. I'm happy with that decision.

Despite being OK with my non-bearded look, I've decided to let the facial hair overtake my face. After one week of stubble, I think my beard is on the way back!

Woo-hoo summer!

Last night I stopped by the central library in Brooklyn. It's a nice walk from there to my apartment.
While strolling past Soda (the bar) I realized that it might be fun to go hang out on the back patio and have a book club meeting with friends. But it should be a book club meeting for books that no one in the group has actually read!

Let's be serious, a good percentage of book clubs are just about getting together for drinking and socializing. A book club should also have a central theme. While wondering what that theme could be I remembered wandering around the non-fiction section of the library.

What if an hour before the book club meeting everyone attending was assigned three random digits. Attendees would then take those numbers to the library and pick out an appropriate non-fiction book with a semi-corresponding call number (the three digit number can be put in any order the book club member chooses).

Once the books are selected, folks assemble for talking about the books they've selected. Fun, right?
