Picked up a couple books at Readers Corner. A Giger book
called “www.HRGiger.com” of all things. A couple random
art books, etc. The odd thing is that two of the books
include a reference to the “I’m overfilling your cup of tea
to demonstrate that you need to unlearn to learn more”
metaphor. The fact that both books are essentially
about creativity, and both reference an old parable
about forgetting old knowledge to learn new struck
me as mildly ironic.

Was watching the ESPN post game show after the Hurricanes
game. While commenting on how some player was extremely
important to one of the hockey teams, the commentator made
the comment “like Thurston Moore to Sonic Youth…”. Weird.

Picked up a couple new cds. A copy of Don Cab’s “For Respect”
on cd (the cassette disappeared ages ago…). An old Trans Am
and a Leo Kottke while I was at it.
