Heh – if you like that, check out Stephenson’s Snow Crash – it shows the dark, seedy underbelly of the ‘Dark Ages’ Asimov talks about!

I just read The Foundation Trilogy by Isaac Asimov. It’s really eerie how science fiction written decades ago is delineating out what’s happening on the planet now. Definitely recommended.

I am SO TIRED of Reality TV. I used to get so excited about television in the evenings, all the stories about people I’d never meet, and places I’d never see. But now it’s all people who might live down the street from me, and whether they can dance or sing or lose weight or eat a plate of bugs. And I HATE it! I thought about trying to start a letter writing campaign, but when I told my coworkers about it, they didn’t seem to understand why I wasn’t addicted to the shows like they are. Are there other people who feel the same way that I do? What can we DO about it?
