Egads! I've committed blasphemy!

Who would have thought a BOOK would get me so riled up!

Despite knowing full well of the typical reviews on a Mr. Salman Rushdie, on the recommendation of a colleague at work I decided to delve into this novel which examines the life of one Saleem Sinai, and his trials and tribulations surrounding his life. Let's just say that after reading about 1/3 of the book, I enjoy Rushdie's emphasis on detail, but loathe the dismissing of religion and what I've seen so far as a demeaning of the Pakistani nation.

To be fair, I've only read one-third of the book so I'll give it a shot, but things ain't looking to rosy! But I must say, if you're not Pakistani or of Pakistani heritage, Midnight's Children is a pretty decent read (so far as I can tell!)

Yes I know I've been neglected my precious blog peeps (if there are any left, are you there?). Laziness prevents me from being my best, so I guess I'll have to pull up my socks and kick things up a notch so I can get my ass in shape for the coming school year!

To summarize what else has transpired over the course of the last two weeks, here it is in abbreviated form:

1) Thought my iPod was defective and panicked for days until realizing it was only a bad USB 2.0 port. After dropping another 30 to get a combo USB/FireWire port, Me is content and loving Podcasts (I highly recommend the CBC radio 3 podcast!)

2) Little brother got a job! Working at Island Inkjet filling up old ink cartridges. He isn't in love with the job, but it pays well, and can't be that bad when the biggest complaint he has is the fact that his hands stay black for a while after work!

3) I love my part time job! Not sure if I get on people's nerves with my talking, but I think I get along with pretty much everyone there! And on top of that, it seems like I'm actually well-liked (so long as I'm not Willie Lohman, that's a damn good thing!)

4) Kuhlaaa!!!!

That's all for now folks!
