turn on, tune in, drop out

One of my great accomplishments of the day was booking my Christmas flight home.  Turns out Thanksgiving isn't an option (I don't want to go home two weeks before winter break so badly that I'll spend $600+ on a ticket), but at least there will be a television available. 

I decided to start a Cormac McCarthy collection.  So far, I have four: Outer Dark, Blood Meridian or the Evening Redness in the West, The Crossing, and The Road.  I'm reading the one I haven't, Blood Meridian.  I'm pretty sure that I should have been, like, born in the 1800s to farmers or ranchers in Texas and I just can't take this modern world.  I want to be Billy Parham. 

I've decided that the following quote from Sin City is an apt description of me:

"Most people think Marv is crazy.  He just had the rotten luck of being born in the wrong century.  He'd be right at home on some ancient battlefield swinging an axe into somebody's face."
