Teaser Tuesday

You know it.

Your mission should you choose to accept:
1) Grab the book you are currently reading.
2) Open said book to a random page.
3) Post two sentences from that page (no spoilers, please).
4) List the page number, title, and author of the book.

"That's what Randy knows. When it comes to the details, Cantrell and Pekka are way out of his league, so after a few minutes he feels himself losing interest."

Page 438 of Crytonomicon by Neal Stephenson.

Up next, when I finish this book, will be The Girl Who Played With Fire. I finally broke down and got it!

Teaser Tuesday... A Day Late.

I apologize for that. I got all excited about my first C25K run that I forgot about it. So, here you go!

Your mission should you choose to accept:
1) Grab the book you are currently reading.
2) Open said book to a random page.
3) Post two sentences from that page (no spoilers, please).
4) List the page number, title, and author of the book.

"Waterhouse has completely lost whatever control he might ever have had over the situation and himself. His tongue seems to be made of erectile tissue."

Page 320 of Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson.

Quite a few of these Teaser Tuesdays are going to be from this book. It's a big book. I'll try to mix it up for you.

Hello, August.

August is here. Which means that fall semester is right around the corner. My last fall semester. My last semester ever actually. *dances*

Just some quick updates:

- This no smoking thing. Two weeks in and I've had some lapses. I know, bad me. But, I have saved $20 so far. I know it's not much, but it's a start.

- My knee hates me right now. I figured with the start of a new months I could start doing a couple of things to better myself. The first of those is that I'm going to go running at least every other day. I started tonight and did 1.4 miles. It's small, but, like with the smoking thing, it's a start. More on this topic later; I have a link to share.

- The other thing to better myself is that I'm going to start keeping super close track of my spending and such. Every little bit of money I can put away between now and next summer (or summer of 2012) will be that much more I'll have for the plan to move to Colorado Springs and a graduation trip to Ohio to see my internet besties.

- By the way, I got to meet my internet besties on Wednesday. I had a ton of fun (hope they did, too). And, I can't wait to see them again in December (November?)!

One last thing, a picture for you. The newest haircolor. I might be a week late in posting this one.
