Me I like to think that life is like a drink, and I'm hoping that it tastes like Bourbon

If you live in Britain at what point do you stop thinking that we just have changeable weather and start thinking that it's personal ?

It was lovely sunshine all morning, so when I made my dinner I thought I'd take it outside into the garden. I'd barely started (I'd only got through half a bagel, or two pages of Prisoner's Dilemma depending on your preferred metric) when it began to rain.

I scuttled into the kitchen, finished my dinner and observed that it was brilliant sunshine again. And it still is. Bah.

That's surreal. No rain here whatsoever, and we're what, a mile from you at the very most?

Whose Prisoner's Dilema book is it?

[venta.livejournal.com]

Depending on how you meant the questions, it was written by William Poundstone (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Prisoners-Dilemma-Neumann-Theory-Puzzle/dp/038541580X/ref=sr_1_2/026-4285683-5963607?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1183990104&sr=8-2) and belongs to wimble.

That settles it, then. It was personal.

Damn you! I can't get that damn song out of my head now.

My apologies. I don't even like Bourbon.

Me I'd like to risk it, if life is like a biscuit, then I'm hoping that it tastes like Bourbons....

If it's any consolation, the weather decided to have thunder, torrential rain and scary looking hail just _after_ I'd lugged a very heavy suitcase all the way back for the station.

And it's just suddenly stopped as I write this, maybe I've angered it...

Maybe it depends on your lunch.

You think rain gods disapprove of bagels, avocado, tomatoes and cream cheese ? Or worse, maybe they like avocados and were jealous ?

I really like his books - 'Labrynths of Reason' is good too.
I like the way that the dry humour - not sure which book it is where he talks about colours and as part of the argument describes a world where everything has been coloured differently (blue grass, green sky, etc.). He then just throws in the fantastic aside 'presumably with the extensive use of non-toxic dyes' - I love the idea and the understatement of the task.

All the best gods like avocados. Or, at least, they should.

If I'm carrying an umbrella, should it look like rain, it doesn't rain. If I have no umbrella, it tips down. I control the weather. QED.

Ah, it's a novel, nothing to do with Mr Axelrod.

Looks out of window, 'hmm, think I'll go home in about 20 mins, looks like it's cleared up'

<< Thunder >>

It's personal.

Looks out of window. Prods weather forecast.
What is this 'changeable weather' of which you speak? :-)

If you will insist on living in the outskirts of the Sahara.

[leathellin.livejournal.com]

As far as I know the Sahara hasn't quite made it across the Mediterranean yet :-p

Unless the wind is blowing in this direction and even then not in large enough quantities to form any sand dunes :-)

Assuming the anonymous comment was you - no, it's not a novel. It's subtitled "John von Neumann, game theory, and the puzzle of the bomb". So it's about the precursors to Mr Axelrod.
