I haven't been to Berkeley in decades!

Other Change of Hobbit still there?

I was more down on Telegraph and got distracted by Korean food, so I didn't get around much... I think all the Korean places are new since the 1980's. Good though! The area has hardly changed, really.

Maybe slightly less freaks per square foot... if they leave, there goes the neighbourhood!

"Hier werden Bewußtseine gefordert, die sich am Abgrund des Gattungsbewußtseins fest etablieren. Beruf: Politiker. Hauptwohnsitz: Unübersichtlichkeit."

(Peter Sloterdijk, t: Im selben Boot, Versuch über die Hyperpolitik, p: 56)

--------------

Well, you asked, Argent,..., since my main language is german, it is a german sentence, from the philosopher Peter Sloterdijk. This book lays here on my desk since ages for unknown reasons. I am too lazy to translate the sentence.

Chobits Vol6, p56, panel 3 = "I just knew he'd end up comparing me to her"

(arguably the phone book was closer, but I'll be damned if I wanted to guess the correct sentence numbering)

Books? None here.

Pep (They are *so* twentieth century.)

PS Instead I typed "book page 56 fifth sentence" into Google and the first thing it found was "Log in and register using the META links to the right." Kinda self-referential actually.

But is Aardvark's still there? That's what I want to know :D

Or moving on to Portland, please tell me Powell's is still in existence. What a slice of heaven.

";(3) The original Chinese character (or kanji) from which the hiragana in question is derived."

It's an incomplete sentence because it's part of a numbered list and not part of a paragraph.

Edit: Oops! Under some papers, nearer to me than "Remembering the Kana" was "Childhood's End", but page 56 is blank :(

I am at home now. Page 56 is empty :(


What, you have Childhood's End near you, too?

Edit: This was post 1000 for me. I've never posted 1000 comments anywhere. Not even close. Time to move on :)

From the Book of Useless Information:

(page 56 is blank so I went to 57: The name for Oz in The Wizard of Oz was thought up when the author, L. Frank Baum, looked at his filing cabinet and saw A-N and O-Z, hence Oz.

Truly useless information.

Just goes to show you that first impressions aren't always the best choice. "The Wizard of An" just doesn't sound...right.

I would have thought Brann's would have said something about Spot, Dick, and Jane. :D



Just teasing Brannie. :)

When using RepliStor 5.x, always perform a full synchronization before attempting a switchback, do not use the incremental synchronization feature. The use of full synchronization is strongly recommended. RepliStor 6.x improves the synchronization process and this recommendation is not applicable to RepliStor 6.x.
