a collection of books penned by the author jim butcher about a wizard, "harry blackstone copperfield dresend"
- a modern day one. taking up residency in the big windy city of chicago. it has all the grit and grime of anu crime novels. fast paced and great character building. including a wonderful weaving of sci-fi into a plausible real-life, explanation and application.
i agree absolutely with other fans of the series that express enjoyment about the narrative style. and realness of jims. its has insightful fantasy references and a touch of humor here and there like a good anime would accomplish. makes the books a worthwhile read. storm front, the first novel. is a must read for anyone trying to broaden their horizons. and if the his style hooks and reels you in, as it did for me, the next book follows suit and flows well. i happen to have read the first three paperbacks in a quick months time, and now onto the fourth..
well just have to see how they plays out..
they come in sets!!

thought - 420.2 - Carl Sagan
carl sagan! is a person noteworthy for many of things. which now include, a random thought of my own! i urge those who appreciate the world of intellectuals to take a moment and read the wikis.
i recently stumbled upon a article regarding the award-winning 1980 classic television series cosmos: a personal voyage. with my hot date sensimillia. we gawked, laugh, cried, and were equally struck with sagan-like brilliance. finding ourselves on similar journies, riding the edge of our lifted state. and then we realized this guy had to be lifted and on our level.. right?
researching commenced and the results were paid in full after some googling and pandora'n. the excerpt below is from the 1969 personal account, that was used in the publication "marihuana reconsidered" (1971). where he wrote under the pen name of "mr.x" sagan was in his mid-thirties at that time and he continued to use cannabis for the rest of his life.
"the cannabis experience has greatly improved my appreciation for art, a subject which I had never much appreciated before. the understanding of the intent of the artist which I can achieve when high sometimes carries over to when I'm down. This is one of many human frontiers which cannabis has helped me traverse. "
i equally feel the same, and rest assured by most i know, can express a similar appreciation. and if luck would have it, the following short below will have you feeling just like "mr.x" and me, again.
