I can’t say that I ever new Watchmen Motion Comics was available for free download on iTunes until tonight.  Check it out!  It’s free and it plays awesome on my new toy. 

Oh the joys of scheduling a 2 leg day with a four hour sit getting paid only per diem with no crew lounge.  Contemplating where to adventure to around the CVG airport, I find myself sitting her in the McDonalds in Concourse C with a brand new book that I just bought at the airport Borders Book Store.  I guess I shouldn’t complain about that though because I got 10% off for being an airport employee and the #1 at McDs was just as I imagined it would be. 

The books that I picked up by the way at by Atul Gawande entitled, “Complications: A Surgeon’s Notes on an Imperfect Science” and his second book called “Better: A Surgeon’s Notes on Performance.”

Today’s scheduled block pay (flight time) consists of 3 hours and 8 minutes.  Our total duty time though is 7 hours and 58 mins.  That means with our minimum duty rig of 2:1, I should get paid for almost 4 hours.  Oh joy… =)  Now with the weather slowly starting to roll into the Columbia, SC, our next destination and with more weather forecasted to arrive in ATL tomorrow, just makes sense that the last day of a 4 day, prior to me getting back to San Diego, should pose these anti-on-time hurdles.  It’s going to be nice though once I’m on vacation. 

I have just finally finished Jacques Lusseyran’s Collection of Selected Writings called “Against the Pollution of the I.” For everyone out there that thinks that they are the shiznitz (sorry for the slang) and / or believes that they are more important that the other person ordering a tall, non fat, half-caff, 1 shot of vanilla and hazelnut, latte with an extra shot of espresso coffee drink in the local Starbucks while dangling your precious keys and purses, this is a read that should humble you. I say humbling because it talks about someone’s journey that puts our plights to shame. Of course, if you are more into yourself than the average Joe, then maybe it might not.

I can assure you though that coupled with his amazingly written autobiography, “And There Was Light,” both these works will make have you understand that there is a lot more to life than what’s inside of your head. Please read them so that we can all just love one another already and just get along. Maybe we can also meet up and have a book club. =)

Unhappiness, I saw then, comes to each of us because we think ourselves at the center of the world, because we have the miserable conviction that we alone suffer to this point of unbearable intensity.

Poetry in Buchenwald, Against the Pollution of I p.179

I will write a more thorough review at a later entry. Hope that you look forward to that.
