Greeting little monkey :p You are late today. Did you order your dimmocks :p Well I am not sure myself what my job is :p But I am told by BC housing that I work in a non-profit senior housing, independent living. But they still need alot of things arranged for them, but they are still independent 8) mostly I just deal with doctors and home support and the odd good looking handy dart driver. Also I plan their meals, as there is a community dining room, and they love having guest speakers come in, life fireman, police, things like that. I would like to get some playboy pinups for them, but I have not be able to find any...would you like to vounteer for the postion? :p

Kinda late I know ... woke up around 6:00 to go to school ... school starts around 8:45, but I had to eat first, and than the bus, and the train ... when I arrive, it's still a bit dark ... bad for my mood ... anyway, had lessons to 11:30, than we didn't have any lessons up to 15:45! So we went downtown, wanted to catch a movie but the movietheatre opened only around 13:30, which would probably mean we didn't have enough time to get back in time (we wanted to see Shark Tale) ... so we just went stumbling through the streets, doing nothing .... enjoyed the sun ... got very bored ... the lesson was actually FUN after such a dull day ... was back around 20:00, had to eat, than went watching a movie (Small Soldiers, I switched it off after twenty minutes, didn't like it, it was just really bad) .... and now I'm here! ... and how much does it pay to be a playboy pinup? :mrgreen:

Ah...I thought I remember that :p I have read a few of margaret mead's books she is awesome. Have you ever heard of chad oliver? his latest book combines SF and antropology. I have it but have read it yet. You might like him, here is review of his latest book A star above it. :)

This volume of the late Oliver's short fiction and its companion, Far from This Earth and Other Stories, strike a truly heroic blow for the cause of restoring classic sf to print. During a 35-year career begun in 1952, Oliver specialized in short fiction, much of it sharing the common device of a society being observed, which reflected Oliver's other occupation as a professor of anthropology. "Blood's a Rover" features human military observers and aliens. "The Ant and the Eye" has a misfit observing his society and it observing him, each trying to see whether they can fit the other. "Any More at Home Like You" is one of several stories about aliens coming to Earth or being marooned there and groping toward understanding. Oliver believed that intelligence of any sort, though inevitably fallible, would grope toward understanding enough to prevent gross crimes and total disasters. He also believed in human expansion into space and to other worlds, and that faith adds further to stories already distinguished by graceful prose and good world building. Must-have volumes for thorough sf collections
