I do have an original 10-sentence description of the main character: Fat. Obese. Slutty. Stupid. Spoiled. Whiny. Damaged. Uncaring. Innapropriate.

Heres the breakdown.

He's fat, because he constantly eats.
He's obese because I needed another word like fat to truly describe his utter magnitude. Also, he doesn't even try to excercise.
He's always spending time with hookers, or at least paying someone to do him.
He's stupid because he doesn't even understand how low he is.
He's spoiled because he's the 1,238th richest man in russia, and he spends extravagantly and even throws away the idea of a charity.
He's whiny because whenever he's hurt he just calls up his therapist in NEW YORK and tells him he's been undercut by a comrade.
He's damaged because he had a very unhealthy relationship with his father.
He's uncaring because he constantly beats his servants.
And he's just plain innapropriate because HE JUST HAD SEX WITH HIS MOTHER IN LAW!

Eww!

Eww! Eww! Eww! Eww! Eww! Eww! Eww! Eww! Eww! Eww! Eww! Eww! Eww! Eww! Eww! Eww! Eww! Eww! Eww! Eww! Eww! Eww! Eww! Eww! Eww! Eww! Eww! Eww! Eww! Eww!

I told you I was going to suck at this.

I told you

Alright: I messed up, but I have completely forgotton what day I'm supposed to write up the blog on.

Furthermore, the book is absolutely disgusting. I'm going to be blunt: He spent an entire chapter talking about the sexual experiance of eating food, the next chapter he spent singing some sort of rap with his drunk, fat american friend and his mother-daughter prostitute girlfriends, and in another chapter he wrote about a botched circumcision (he's jewish) he had under some high drunk hasids from new york. As a matter of fact, he has used the word khui over 50 times now, especially when referring to his obese and drunk sex acts with his prostitute girlfriend.

Do I have to keep reading?

(I'm not very good with blogs)

So I've started reading "Absurdistan" by Gary Shteyngart, a story about the 1,238th richest man in Russia in the year 2001, and his oddysey in getting a visa to go back to the United Staes, which he loves. He is a whiny, obese and depressing lump of lard, so the story better be good.

It's before midnight somewhere...

So now... The mother has the girl named valentine in the way of her son gaining her vast fortune from the paralysed father Noirtier, who in turn does not appreciate what the family has been up to in terms of planned marriages and has withfrawn his bill. Meanwhile the count of Monte Cristo has appeared and written a perscription for the mother, whom he reminds that the medcine can also be a poison. Also, during a ball he met mercedes again, who is dropping ints that she knows who he is. During this same ball, the grandmother and grandfather of Valentine both fall ill and quickly die. The local doctor suggests murder as a possibility. Drama, death, love and revenge: the best things from France.

These are some notes for when I get back home.

So my reserach project is going to be on the ethics of laying off hundreds of workers and replacing with our soon-to-be robot overlords.

ReasonTV. "Mexicans and Machines: Drew Carey on Nafta". June 25, 2008. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9csCerjfdE

In this video, Drew Carey explains how we blame job loss on Mexicans, even though the greatest job stealers are actually robots. He notes that all of the media is focused on exported jobs, while the real cause is at home. According to Carey, people wrongly blame NAFTA for allowing tis to continue. He claims that many more jobs were created by NAFTA than lost. He claims that the real threat lies with a worker that requires no sleep or pay. Factory and agricultural jobs are lost while their outputs increased. He also mentions a ninteenth century revolt against machines.

Anonymous. "Industrial robot". Wikipedia. December 7, 2008. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_robot

The Wikipedia article accurately details the history of a robot's use in industry, from patents of the 1950's to definitions and graphs of today's modern working man. The article also gives a sample of programming used in today's machines, and a small abridged article (with a link to the main article) on the future of robotics.
