A mere kernel: we got the whole cob later, thank goodness.

I think a good subtitle to Go Set A Watchman might be To Kill A Mockingbird and Zombies. Because when you begin to read GSAW and hear the voice of the 26 year old Jean Louise, you find yourself plunged into an alternative Maycomb. And once Jean Louise follows Hank (Henry Clinton is almost a place holder for Dill and Jem, who are absent in GSAW) and her father, Atticus Finch to a meeting at the court house. Here she hears some horrible, racist and segregationist agendas, all being led by...well, you probably know who by now.

Calpurnia's gone, and Jean Louise's uncle, Dr Jim Finch is the sage she turns to when she's out of sorts and needs guidance in Maycomb. The last half of the novel is almost Tolstoyan, with Jean Louise getting schooled on the social class structure in Maycomb from Hank, a rhetorical lesson from Uncle Jim, and an Invasion of the Body Snatchers' feel for the reader, wondering where all our friends have gone.

This is not a sequel. Jean Louise is being reborn (and there are, significantly, two dunking scenes in the book), and her new ears and eyes are seeing things she has never seen or noticed before. There is talk of her color blindness, since it just the way she is. But those around her feel their way of life is in peril. The present setting is not one where common folk have black servants anymore: Calpurnia does not live with the Finch family anymore, and Aunt Alexandra is the housekeeper. The town is resisting the winds of change. And this is very disappointing to Jean Louise.

Please don't read this as a sequel, or even a prequel. It's the seeds of an idea that eventually became the beloved novel we all know and love. It is a rough cut of that beautiful shining diamond. It is timely.

I had a whole other review I had written and I typed it up and then lost all that information, so these thoughts are not quite as organized as I'd like them. But I just really want anyone who reads this to go into it knowing full well, this is a totally separate idea and story from TKAM. This is not a polished and heavily edited, revised novel. It is a beginning. The ending seems to be speeding downhill in an almost stream of consciousness manner, with Jean Louise running, not knowing where to turn, and I highly doubt the last quarter of the novel would have ended up like that in a published form originally. There would have been more fleshing out of those moments. And I think many other changes would have been made as well.

While this novel was clearly not truly completed, and is not a finished work, I could never even dream of being able to rival anything that Harper Lee dashed off as a rough draft. I am giving this book 4 stars. Not because it is bad, but because I feel it is incomplete. It is kernel of the whole cob of corn we got in To Kill A Mockingbird.

I am the Python Fan, this is the best thing that came after. It should have gone on for years, but too many sticky bits had their panties in a bunch!

I'm so happy right now, I could cry.

Monday started off like any Monday would- I was sitting in my office, looking at all the work I had to do for the week, and wishing it was Friday already.  About 45 minutes into my workday, I saw a facebook notification pop up on my phone.  That led to me scanning through some recent facebook posts when I saw IT.  The Surge Movement was telling me that Surge was back!  I immediately came to Amazon and ordered a case.  I spent the next 48 hours thinking about rollerblading with my cassette player and going to school in JNCO's and babydoll tops.  I lost all ability to focus.

I spent all morning this morning waiting for the UPS guy to arrive at my office.  It was absolute torture, sitting here, reading through mundane documents, trying to focus on anything other than the most delectable soda ever created.  Then he arrived.  The sweet, sweet UPS man walked nonchalantly into the office and set my package down at the receptionist area.  I apparated to the front of the office and grabbed the sodas, packaged so carefully inside an Amazon Fire box.  After taking a few pictures to celebrate the momentous occasion, I popped a can of Surge into the office freezer, daring anyone to touch it.

Once the can reached the appropriate temperature, I removed it from the freezer and took it to my office.  In peace and quiet, I took my first sip of Surge in 13 years.  It tastes exactly as amazing as I remembered, and it is still the perfect shade of green.

Thank you, Coca-Cola and Amazon, for filling my day with all the happiness in the world.

A pretty good number of the nuts were whole.  Luckily I have a chopper.

Since december, paranoia agent has had me wrapped around the tightly woven story. Ive seen all the events and tragedys in this series. Now, it is finnaly at an end. In the last disk, we wrap up the story, and find out the true nature of lil slugger. This disk might not be as creepy or disturbing as the others, but acomplishes its task at hand remarkably. This is a great finish. Some people might not understand what he was trying to say, but search deep and the answer is clear. A grwat feature on this dvd is the commentary by creator Satoshi Kohn. I recomend seeing the other disks of the series first, but don't to get the final masterpiece of this epic series.

Thank you Satoshi Kohn, its been a wonderful ride

My family had just moved to a new residence when my Linksys 11g router arrived.  Everything was still packed with the exception of two computers.  The Windows XP machine that I had setup first so the cable guy could connect the Internet cable because they said that they couldn't support an installation they didn't install (Internet didn't work when they left, btw, and I had to reconfigure it.) I also had unpacked my Linux box that I use for everyday work that I had to have up and running.
I made the mistake of applying SP1 to my XP box later that evening at my husbands behest who could not comprehend that it was unnecessary, which of course, crashed the machine; so I had only 1 working computer, the Linux box, when my router arrived.  I had two choices.  1) Gleefully tear the router out of the packaging and attempt an install via Linux which Linksys does not support or 2)Rationally listening to my husband who told me to finish unpacking to find the proper Windows equipment.  Or 3)Waiting until the XP box finished its reformat, install WIN2K this time, and then try to install the router.  Being less than patient and typically female (I WANT IT NOW!!), and much to my husband's vocal disdain, I opted for option 1.
I hooked her up and connected to the router via the Web.  Configuration was straightforward and any questions could be answered in the book that came with the router.  I was connected to the Internet via Linux in less than ten minutes.  I must admit to being somewhat disappointed the installation was so easy since I was hoping for a few glitches to help delay my unpacking of the house, but alas I had to be satisfied with using the SP1/XP fiasco as an excuse.
After I finally finished unpacking everything, installation of all the other Windows machines were just as easy.  All are up and running with no trouble.
I could only be happier with my router if I could simply order a new husband from Amazon that helps with such things as unpacking and a mute button on the end of his nose.  :)
