37) "The Liar," Stephen Fry - Fun book, full of twists and turns. I had put this one off for ages because I wasn't sure I wanted to read a book where you don't know what to believe as 'the real story,' but then again... yeah, it works. Although there's quite a few points where I was going "What?? What!?" - rather in sympathy with Adrien's friend who calls him a bastard at one point after tugging hard on their heartstrings just for the fun of it. I think I may already have mentioned that it was fun seeing what things from his own life he included in the life of Adrien. What do you think - does Adrien define himself as gay or bi at the end?

ETA: Odd side note - As I was sitting at the lunch table at work yesterday, reading, a paper fell out from between the pages of the book, whatever someone had been using for a bookmark. Turned out to be an empty prescription form with the dr's stamp on it.

"Hey! We could fill this out for whatever we want!" I said, handing it to the girl across the table.

"What do we want? Oxycontin?"

"No, I already have a prescription for that, for when I get out of surgery."

I should go get that filled, now, actually.

some random interesting looking things gathered from my flist this morning

Someone who locked their post pointed out RescueTime, which looks like an interesting way to attempt to make myself more productive. When I went to install their application, however, I was confused by the way they call it a Windows app and use the little flag logo but when it's getting ready to run the installer mentions that it's not signed by a known source. I don't like installing applications from sources I don't know. Who has used this, liked it, and can vouch for it not gobbling my computer's resources or reporting back to Microsoft on everything I do? And anyhow, will it help me if I always leave my email and LiveJournal logged in while my computer is on?

Completely unrelatedly, innocentsmith pointed out Fanlore, which I haven't perused as yet, but have added to my favorites under 'writing.'
