Multitasking

Still trying to read, while waiting for my new video game to install. Found the ultimate nerd paragraph:

"I imagined that the stack of magazines under his bed was equal parts Playboy and National Geographic. I saw him playing Xbox before beginning his shift at the helm of a high-powered radio telescope. I pictured him pursuing the latest Spiderman comic book after giving a lecture on the untapped potential of inert space gas as an alternative fuel."

Wow. That pretty much says everything. Thank you, Libby Street!!

It gets better. The heroine is thinking positive:

"I am super sexy and fun. I am carefree and sowing my wild oats. I will admire your scientific exploits, and won't make you burn your collection of Star Wars action figures. . . . . I am easygoing and vivacious . . . and would adore your Lord of the Rings commemorative coin collection."
