Break all the Locks

Is a person lost if you know here they are? Missing her already!

Work has been steady. A bit below what I would like, but better than expected, considering the circumstances of oil gushing into the gulf.

I have finished "The Girl Who Played With Fire" by Stieg Larson. It was a hundred times better than the first. It really focused on Lisbeth this time, and the reporter took a back seat, thankfully! It was so refreshing and unique to me to experience a character that has heroic tendencies while possessing the qualities of a person who 'might' be considered autistic.

Since I have finished that and I have nothing else that has tickled my fancy, I have picked up 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl. This is a book I have been tackling for a little over a year. I can only read it in short spurts as my brain feels like it is being...well, pushed beyond it's capacity, but in a good way, when I read it. A small quote:

"If we were to conclude, after careful consideration, that our modern world is based upon fundamentally flawed conceptions of time and mind, that on these fatal defects we had erected a flawed civilisation - like building a tower on an unsound foundation, that becomes increasingly wobbly as it rises - then logic might indicate the necessity, as well as the inevitability, of change. By closing the gap between science and myth, rationality and intuition, technology and technique, we might also understand the form that change would take. Such a shift would not be the "end of the world," but the end of a world, and the opening of the next."

See what I mean? Only in small doses.

I wonder if anyone else has been experiencing sharp pain in their ear canals. It's very distracting and painful. Is barometric pressure to blame? Things that make you go "hhmmm".
