You know you're a Rush fan when you honestly believe that the people selling Rush merch at the show are manic Rush fans like yourself, purely because they are selling the stuff regardless of them having to work there no matter what band are playing

QUOTE (PassTheAmmunition @ Dec 1 2008, 06:55 PM) I wasnt able to watch this game as it wasnt carried in my area and I couldnt make it to the local bar to watch it. I was watching the scores and then was watching the ESPN gamecast of it. At 10-10 late in the second quarter, I actually left the house right before it seemed NE would score (1st and goal at the 9, I think) but then came back later and it was still 10-10? I read it was a shanked field goal but that surprised me a bit considering its NE at home and the Steelers just seem to have a knack for collapsing late, especially after grabbing some momentum. And then 23 more unanswered points - I was in some disbelief. ESPN didnt show too much of the highlights but from what I did catch there were some decent throws by Ben and the defense came up big, forcing more turnovers and capitalizing on them. Did anyone see the absolute crusher on Wes Welker? That was some hit boy. I'm glad I managed to catch that match from all the way over here

YOu have got to be kidding me! That was so cooool! I'd love to be able to program that thing for myself

For me, McEwen is as good as anyone writing in the UK at the moment, but this book is not his best. What I enjoyed most about his early works was how lean they were. it was reduced down to the structural architecture required to carry the plot and character. Enduring Love is however flabby. For the first time in his work you get taken down sideroads in which he explores things not essential to the plot, but interesting to him. for example when he goes to the British Library (I think it is) and discussed how the non-fiction is not given as much weight of respect as the fiction. For the first time you can hear the voice of the author and his interests in the work. The first chapter is of course fantastic and condensced is everything that makes McEwen good. The slowing down of time and the exploration of every nuance of emotion and inflection of word. Just fantastic, but it loses it's way after the first chapter. Far better for my money, and the best book I've read for years is 'On Chisel Beach'. Back on form, doing everything that is good in his (the exploration of self deceit, economy of language, breathtaking emotional insight) without any of the flab. Disco Although you do have to realise that quite alot of the unreliable narration is Joe Rose speaking and he, as a character, is a science journalist and his mind is more driven by facts and the logical, rather than emotion. Therefore, there will be some of Joe's thought process that rises to the forefront of the writing. This makes Clarissa and Jed Parry quite strong counterpoints.

What is it about?, I'm intrigued

I saw Kamelot when I went to see the support act Threshold at the Astoria in London. Needless to say I decided just to talk with the band memebers of Threshold than to watch Kamelot. They were much better than the headliner in my opinion

You mean Ian McEwan. I've never read any of his stuff, but was given half-a-dozen of his books by my in-laws. They retired and moved to Scotland, and love everything about the UK... including literature. They keep pushing Ian McEwan and Iain Banks on my wife and I. Yep, I knew that I wasn't thinking It's a wierd book
