Hummm, real paper = motorcycle ones, gun one, gift subscription Mom gives every year, wifs garden stuff and catalogs, junk of course, droped some, never do PC house type things, and am very jaded about some of the so called info pages put up on the net too. I am so suprised that so manny peoples are so busy lieing their heads off. You would think that at least the winners who are writting history would at least ‘try’ to be ------ ahhhh — honest!

I have to hand it to The Economist for their talent at pissing off major world figures: This week’s cover features a puffy-faced Kim Jong Il delivering one of his classic full-arm waves to a adoring populace (or maybe an empty runway).
The headline: “Greetings, earthlings”.

I don’t really get much of my information from periodicals. I like Headline News, CNN, internet news feeds, and the occasional local broadcast. For specific information, I use search engines or sites I know to give good info on that topic. Checking out a book every so often (perhaps even buying one) helps me stay informed, but the things I need to know largely come from trusted web pages.

The cool thing is, some magazine distributor got our office address mixed up with the campus health service, and we’ve been getting an eclectic set of mags meant for the waiting room. We get Reader’s Digest, ESPN, Opera News, Atlantic Monthly, Shape, and some other mags I can’t even recall. Thanks to worktime bathroom reading, I’m quite well informed.

But not much in the way of magazines
My gosh, you all are well-read! I’ll expect erudition in GD and definitive responses in GQ from all of ya now.
Hard:
Cemetery Dance (semi-monthly horror fiction)
Biography – gift from mom – I always toss it. The articles are boring and the writing has no energy. And if I notice bad writing, that means it’s really bad.
Book – my Sunday paper stopped doing book reviews (!!! what’s a Sunday paper without reviews???), and this magazine is a life-saver. Not too snobby – but it doesn’t cater to the Grisham-Steele-Collins crowd either.
On-line? Shoot, I’m spending most of my time here. Hey! Some of your knowledge is bound to rub off.
