Well, folks, that was me. . . I"m all logged on now. Anyhow, I noticed that patlogi asked "Who's Albert Fish" at the very end of pg 1 - - and I missed it, and I don't think anyone answered. IF I already did answer, then please forgive me doing so again. Albert Fish was one of the first serial killers. He butchered and ate children. Here is a link with more information than you probably want to know: www.prairieghosts.com/fish.htmlFor the real in depth story, and if you like True Crime books, Harold Schecter's DERANGED is indispensable. |

Nice rockkid. I'm just now reading ON WRITING, by Stephen King. It's a blast.

I've read On Writing 5 times now, Thorn. It's one of my favorites. I love when he discusses some of his books, like The Stand, The Dead Zone and Carrie.

Life is strange.
Took a while to pick up Buick 8 again.
Bud of mine was killed, his cruiser hit by a semi.
If you've read the book I don't have to tell you why I had to put it down for a bit.
He was buried on Friday.
Don't know if I'll finish it, mixed feelings.

I can't blame ya for being freaked out . . . ...but the book is worth finishing, imo. Rockkid: I'm very sorry to hear about your friend. My condolences |

New issue of Smithsonian Mag arrived this week. Great article on Matisse and his models. Read it on the commode. Great bowel movement material. Besides Smithsonian the only other one I read is RollingStone magazine. Also great BM material...  |

Am reading the October 2005 issue of HIV Plus. It's a good read for up-to-date info on HIV treatments. Filled with lots of self-help info. Just got back from the Doc's office. My latest labs are very good. Viral load non-detectable (again) and a 650 t-cell count. Theres a HIV vaccine 'study' going on for HIV + people that I plan on participating in in 2007. The study was originally developed by Salk (the polio Doc') and has recently re-immerged as a new trial. 2006 will be the year that I undergo the HEP C treatment. Hopefully that will be a success. |
