For the raunchy, gratuitous sex scenes. I said I saw myself in her character? Not much. Tramp 101. And she's a good mother to her deaf son. But she threw caution to the wind when this handsome, deaf man appears. It was their first date for gosh sakes! Did your editor cajole you? # sanitizes eye balls # ouch

Moving on, oh wait a minute! The handsome guy is a ruthless killer! He was abused by his father. In fact his deafness is Because of the abuse. But his mom was loving, but the dad killed her. So when this handsome killer meets this mother, he's remembering his long forgotten memories.

Book is concerned with government surveillance. Cameras, tracking devices. They kill some guy by remotely overriding his car. The killer draws on an iPad the murderous route the car will follow.

Tried to look up Snowden, but net is like a molasses chew on these cloudy days.

Tis snack time. Oh, the new yr started. I've lost 7# from last year. # fist pump # back to snack decision. Cookies? Darn, the banana puddings gone. Chips?

If a camel is dehydrated, is the hump flat? Did I tell you they're planning to start some pedi cart in my fair town? Where they bike with you in the back. Don't know how that'll work. Downtown is so crowded. And more so cause they're building housing units. Where will all those cars go? I gotta move from here. It jangles my nerves. I'm looking in vicinity of bro. We can help each other out. But I'll be even further from my beloved Frisco. Not that I ever get there. I can't get over my obsession with it. But it's horribly crowded. Very confusing to drive. All these metro tracks.

Into the hacking book. Tension is ramping up. I like. Also reading mags. The high fashion turns me off.

Oh, interesting article ol. Bj Miller was sophomore at Princeton. After a night of drinking they were near a train. Bj decides to climb it. 11k volts of electricity pass thru his watch down his arm and legs. He had been a privileged boy. Modeled some. Suddenly a triple amputee. He gets his head together and now at 45 is a doctor and overseas Zen hospice in Frisco. Respecting, cherishing the end. And he's the perfect head. He has suffered. There's immediate connection. What a price to pay, though. Those brain cells just don't mature for couple decades. How do you keep youth safe? I hate seeing skate boarders do dangerous stunts and get injured thinking its nothing. That's what evil knieval thought.

I don't mind rain nowadays. It makes things green. They say Cali now having normal winter. Last night the wind was kicking up and knocking over garbage cans.

Yes, Mr w. Mr x is the total opposite of me. I'm a b personality, he's a. He's extremely social. He rides bike around town and chats up everyone. I try to scurry inside so I don't have to awkwardly acknowledge neighbors.

Going to reread the Alzheimer's book. It merits another read. But I'm on a new book. About intelligence hacking. They mention Edward Snowden, but book is fiction. The genius main character is a woman. Seems to have tentative character like me. Lets see how I kick butt in This novel.

Finished another book. Two sisters must face both parents decline from Alzheimer's. Not a cheery prospect. But the book pulls you in. It chronicles the parents love story. They were mad about each other, and for their whole life. They met during world war 2. They courted. They were young!

That's the difficult thing to process, that the old were once young. Cause we certainly can't imagine being elderly. My grandma was always old to me. She was 74 when I was born. I was 12 when she past. My aunt took care of her. She was a nurse. My grandma later would have a hospital bed at home. She had dentures, gray hair, couldn't speak English. I instinctively knew she was different. This was old. I couldn't relate. My mom and aunt had a sister that stayed in Japan, who was much older than them. When I did the math, I realized my grandma had her about age 17! Pregnant at 16! I was aghast. Agog. My grandma was that young? She had had sex?! Then the realization sets in that she was young and now was old. I was young. But that meant I could one day be elderly! I don't know if my psyche could take that.

Anyway, the daughter tells the parents life story. Then the 2 sisters were born. How their childhood was.

Story picks up when folks are 86 and diagnosed. They have such strong denial. Husband will not stop driving. They refuse help. Turns out they were hoarders.

It's a good story cause she documents their decline. I wasn't familiar with the progression of the disease. Luckily these 2 were able to stay together.

Guess its part of life. Not the fun part. By the time the book ends, the sisters are grandparents themselves. And the cycle continues.

Just finished the book. Went out with a whimper, not a bang. No tension, no thrills. She's going to marry the guy. She thought it was just a one horse town. She didn't believe in god.

It had some interesting shades, tho. This was a small town dominated by the church. Potlucks, Sunday sermon, church choir. Everyone knows everybody. Are there still towns like that? Maybe if town is small. I don't know if I'd like to be so known.

Do you know a recluse? Isn't there a recluse spider? I think I may be a hermit when I grow up. There was a hermit, too, on mobion, I think.
