Great Gaming, Disappointing Book

I’m buzzed from gam­ing with Bren­da and sam­bear, which is always a rush. It just works so well. But I have a PC to rebuild for a friend in the morn­ing and I need to get some sleep so it won’t take a ridicu­lous amount of time and I’m less like­ly to do some­thing stu­pid. So I need to get con­trol of the rac­ing every­where brain and go get some rest.

Oh—I fin­ished The Free Lunch by Spi­der Robin­son yes­ter­day. It was okay, although I have some­thing against any book with a pre­co­cious kid as the main char­ac­ter. This one was­n’t as annoy­ing as some, but—well, some­times I feel like Spi­der has fall­en into just hav­ing one plot that he uses over and over again. Peo­ple with sucky back­grounds with­draw from soci­ety, find oth­er peo­ple like them­selves, and being to heal their hurts while sav­ing the world. And hon­est­ly, it got too self-ref­er­en­tial at times.
