6/6/06

work, just like 6/5/06 and 6/7/06.

though i feel i might get suckered into seeing the omen remake sometime this week.
I've done my part. Just downloaded this:

"Preacher Man" combined a ferocious backbeat, Morricone-esque slide guitar, and hoarse doom metal vocals that swallowed lyrics like "when he talks, connected scars reopen" into one of the best night-driving songs ever recorded. If your day job was in Heaven and you commuted between both worlds, this is the tune the local DJ would kick off your commercial-free ride home with.
I might play along tonight and put on my Satanics CD. Classics like "Hell: It Ain't The Heat It's The Humidity", and by the same guys who are The Upper Crust

The National Mortgage Rate was just changed this morning to…

you guessed it!

6.66%
Strangely enough, after recently having a conversation with a friend about the Masons, when I choose a new book to start reading today, I had forgotten what the date was. When I realized it, I thought it was a bit humorous. In fact, I've already gotten to the part that talks about 666 being the number of the Beast. Since this book is such a beast in itself, I had put it off for a couple years waiting for a time when I was in one of my voracious reading phases. Moving along rather well so far.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm glad that I waited so long to read it because it gave me more time to learn about so much of the background that is needed to fully understand the book properly. Not a book for the young.

Had to put my reading off for a few days for a few obligations but once I got back, strangely enough, it took me 6 days to read the book. (Read the 2nd half in the last day.) It's definitely a book to read during a reading frenzy otherwise you loose track of too much.
