i love a good story

today i started reading haroun and the sea of stories. salman rushdie has got to be one of my favorite authors in recent memory. i first heard of him as the guy who had a death sentence placed on him thanks to the satanic verses, but listening to the ground beneath her feet (i love audiobooks!) made me a big fan of his graceful and imaginative writing.

the berkeley rep actually did a small production of haroun a few years ago, and although i was bummed to miss that, i was excited when i picked up a used copy of the book a few weeks ago. so far, i have not been disappointed by this tale haroun, the son of a storyteller, written by rushdie, a fantastic storyteller himself.

in other news:
- pillow fight, then nap. only in sf (which is why i still miss it)
- anyone else want to go to this 826nyc event?
- survey says more girls on the internet than guys
- trouble brewing at in-and-out?
- stanford core mission of "of rocking out and bringing funk to the funkless"?

oh no, that in-n-out story makes me sad. (although it would be wonderful to have them out here...)

yeah, i personally think it should be left as a west coast thing. i'm all about the family owned business.

so julia, what's the deal with the stanford mission? (not that it applies to you, since i'm sure you always rocked out and never were funkless)
