The Summer Reading Club 2014 held by Burnaby Public Library was over. Time to summarize. My 5-year-old read 245 books during the period of June 16th - September 5th. He only missed one day not reading, the day we returned from China. The goodreads stats showed that he had completed reading 501 books/40540 pages. I've set this year's reading challenge as 600 books, he's at 84%. His recent interests are world atlas encyclopedia, "Weird but True" series and some random history reads. Good job, Hanno, keep it up!

So my mind was seriously blown by this, but as I'm trying to regain my mental faculties, I start wondering about the book. See, there's no note in the box. The name on the box is first initial and last name. I wonder...maybe it's a favorite book? Maybe it was on my Goodreads "to read" list? But it wasn't. Then I thought, maybe it's not another gift, maybe it's a message. In the Internet Ancient Times, back in the days of Gonads and Strife and Drudge dancing and taking off every Zig I was a Morlock. themorlocks.com is super defunct now, though you can still see the front page in the Internet Wayback Machine. I flipped through the book and there wasn't a note or anything. So now I'm wracking my brains based on the last name and address to figure out if I know my Santa, or knew him (I admit I'm assuming a "him" based solely on the writing of the address on the box) back in the day. But the thing is, I didn't know EVERYONE's last names. Santa, does Bomberman mean anything to you? Mega Man? Did I ever send you a parcel of meat? :D I'm trying to think of people I knew who lived in that area, against a list of people whom it could not be (since I know their names) and some who may have but I'm not 100% sure. But since it's been you know, a decade, maybe they moved there from some other area of the country, in which case I'm never going to figure it out, but I feel SO BAD not being able to figure this out considering the COMPLETELY BADASS GIFT you sent me.
I have also considered the possibility that The Time Machine is just a book, it doesn't mean anything, or maybe it means something else, like maybe the person's forum avatar has something to do with it and my Santa has never heard of Lum the Mad or ever went through a period of time with a kitchen appliance with evil eyebrows for an avatar (I had an EvilStandMixer for a while) and it's just a coincidence or it's just nothing and I'm just seriously overthinking this in which case I'll be quite embarrassed.
Well, either way, thank you SO much, mysterious Santa! This is completely awesome. <3 And I'll keep thinking on it, unless you want to reveal yourself. But I think my husband is going to get annoyed with me if I spend any more time fine tuning this post and trying to reverse stalk you (nice looking house, btw). In fact he just came in and said to me "are you ever going to be done with what you're doing?" Soooo I better go.

Do you need a spider web? Do you need this photo?
This week's quote is "An Artist is somebody who produces things that people don’t need to have." attributed to Andy Warhol. It appears from WikiQuote with a bit more context:
"I really believe in empty spaces, although, as an artist, I make a lot of junk. Empty space is never-wasted space. Wasted space is any space that has art in it. An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have but that he, for some reason, thinks it would be a good idea to give them."
Aside from the assumption that artists are male, Warhol does seem interested in space. Spider webs are really just space — progressively wrapped up as they age, gathering dust and detritus.
I’ve gathered some of my previous images in Rolling along….

Kebnekaise är en lika personlig som fängslande skildring av vårt mäktiga fjällområde. Författaren känner detta massiv som få och låter oss i ord och bild uppleva det både vertikalt och horisontelt. Framställningen bygger på samspelet, motsatser och jämnvikten i alla de skiftningar, som årstidernas och dygnets växlingar erbjuder den som kan se, höra och lyssna till naturens eviga rytm, Hans språk blir lyriskt, nar han med sällsynt inlevelse skildrar de silvervita dagarna och de blonda nätterna, vars ljus "kan höras" och vars vind "smakar", eller den kala tystnaden i december, med "gryningsdager som en blåskimrande slöja, flor över stelnade bränningar". Ur hans fängslande färdberättelser, kompletterade av ett utsökt bildmaterial i färg och svartvitt, som ställer honom i främsta ledet av fjällfotografer, kan också utläsas väsentliga fakta om dalgångar, toppar, sjöar och jåkkar med deras fauna och flora. Härtill bidrager en specialkomponerad karat i ett nytt maner. Ett särskilt kapitel ägnas åt människan i Kebnekaise, vad man gjort där uppe och vad man bör göra i fratiden. Man behöver inte själv ha gått i Kebnekaisefjällen eller efter Kungsleden för att ha glädje av denna bok.- den vänder sig till varje fjäll- och naturvän

"The purpose of life is to watch and experience living. To enjoy living every moment of it. And to live in environments, which are calm, quiet, slow, sophisticated, elegant. Just to be. Whether you are naked or you have a golden robe on you, that doesn’t make any difference. The ideal purpose of your life is that you are grateful - great and full - that you are alive, and you enjoy it.”
