I'm very close to finishing The Kite Runner. I should be done by the end of this week, and maybe this weekend I'll post reviews of both that and Diablo Cody's memoir, Candy Girl. I feel I should, since this blog is supposed to be book reviews and to date, I've posted one.
Ah well. No sense dwelling.
I've been slacking a bit at work this afternoon, for no real reason. I mean, it's not like I don't have mountains of work to get through. But I'm being lazy and unmotivated. It has to end.
Anyway, I was browsing the internet, and I cam across the loldogs website. How did I not know about this sooner? I'm completely addicted to lolcats. People think I'm crazy because I sit at my desk and laugh hysterically at them. And now? NEW ones. Never before seen (by me)! How exciting!
Frank Warren of postsecret has brought his project to facebook, and the general response has not been good. People are pissed because comments have been enabled on the uploaded postcards, and that messes with the anonymity. Which I agree with, but my sympathy lies more with the poor schmucks who leave a comment expressing their true thoughts without realizing that on facebook, you're not hiding behind a screen name. You're out there for the world to see. As is your hometown/high school/college/whatever. It takes a lot of guts to publicly lash someone for a secret when they can see your name but you don't know theirs.
Thoughts?

It is hard to be anonymous on FB, probably not the best outlet for his project. Stick with good old fashioned mail. That is what I say.
