once I get you up there where the air is rarified, we'll just slide, starry-eyed

Geh. It's snowing. I have to leave for work early, bleh.


But first, a question: Has anyone read any Neal Stephenson, and if so, did you like it and why? He's listed as a fantasy/steampunk sort of writer, but when I look at the books in stores, it doesn't seem that way to me. I know I'm missing something, and he's got a great reputation. Also, people who read what I read seem to like him. I'd like to give his work a try, but as I usually buy my books I want to make sure I'm actually going to read it.


Also. I'm becoming minorly obsessed with Frank Sinatra. Not that this is a bad thing. The man invented syncopation, I'm convinced.

it's got quite a few noirish elements and the world he creates is just so fantastical, but yet recognizable

On that note, I shall try it. Yay!

And, while I love The Chairman, gonna have to give the syncopation nod to Scott Joplin.

Let's give one the voice award and the other the woahbaby!ragtime award.

Oh, to live in the fantasy world where one sings and the other plays. *bops*
