Woo hoo!

I have found, at long last, my holy grail of books. It's a book that I read 4 decades ago. It had a profound effect on my, but I can't say why because I haven't really looked that deep. I found the book a few years back after years of searching (I think it was when capi was here), but then it disappeared. I thought I had loaned it to some one, but couldn't remember who or when. It was a situation made frustrating because I could remember the first word of the title and the last word of the title, but that was about it. "The *something* man" doesn't help on google search, let me tell you. I even remembered what the cover looked like, but it just wouldn't focus for me when I looked at the title. I have been searching for this book for over 20 years. Why? I still don't know, but it's something important to me.

and lo! in the midst of moving my multitude of paper backs, I awaken to find it sitting on the top of the stack. No. Seriously. I woke up and I must have put it on the very top of a stack of books while I was working. Or maybe..... it was the pixies! Darn those magical kid!

Anyway, in case I lose it again, it's The Artificial Man by L.P.Davies. A story about love, life, how we perceive ourselves and the lies we tend to believe out of convenience. I tend to remember that parts seemed kinda cheesy - like the end, but for the most part I enjoyed how the story was put together.

I'm gonna go read it again, and may just give a review on Wanderradio ... 109.9 - almost on your radio dial. (I just love saying that)

YaY, it's always a good thing when lost things present themselves to be found. Does this mean you are moving?

[joegoda.livejournal.com]

It means I am moving things from my place to Bartlesville. Slowwwwly, slowwwly.

As for this book, it's the same book that has come and gone twice in my life. That one that just bugs the heck out of me when I can't remember the name of it.

You gonna be at pub tonight?

I don't think so. I need to save my money for this weekend, plus it's been a really aggravating day and I'm not very sociable at the moment. I'm afraid I'll end up picking a fight with anybody just to blow off steam more rightfully aimed at a copy machine! Either that or I'll burst into tears and sob hysterically and neither scenario appeals to me. I've just been as my Mom used to say "out of sorts" for awhile now.{HUGS} I'm just gonna take care of me tonight.

I'm with April, but at the same time I certainly understand that taking care of you! I think we should have to share a table and a drink at Con this weekend.

Woo hoo!
