Two Hundred Ninety-Ninth Entry

All weekend I was busy. I hate being busy doing crap I don't want to do. I wanted to fill out applications, redo my resume and clean my room. Instead, I helped clean and paint my Tia Luisa's house in preparation for sale. Tiresome work. The previous residents decided to leave used heroin needles and crack pipes in the house and saw fit to graffiti the walls of nearly every room with beautiful sayings like "fuck your moma", "fuck the world" and "RIP Victor"so and so. Ah yes 'twas a beautiful sight.

I got free lunch and dinner on both of the days. So that was kind of ok. And plus I was helping out family and that is a reward unto itself.

I took Monday off and decided to just veg and do absolutely nothing productive. So I picked up the copy of "The Da Vinci Code" that I bought a month ago and read it from cover to cover. Talk about great book! I felt proud of myself for deciphering the book jacket code before even starting reading. I was also proud of myself for seeing the Fibonnaci sequence in that set of numbers, for determining that the text on the Rose Box was English backwards and for guessing what Isaac's orb was. But I think Dan Brown threw the readers a "frickin' bone" with those ones, just so we wouldn't feel out of the code-cracking loop.

Now I know that it is fiction, but it does kind of give a plausible explaination as to why the "Holy Grail" is or was so sought after. But then I guess that is why this book is so good; the ideas sound very non-fiction. I was talking to my aunt about it yesterday and she said that she wanted to buy it, but needed the Portuguese version. I don't think she would like it. She is a devout Catholic. Not that the book is anti-Catholic, in fact, I found it to be somewhat religiously neutral. But she is way old school and might not like some of the things it talks about.

Lemme know what you thought of it. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
