Philip K Dick...

I bought a book of short stories by Philip K Dick, called The Philip K Dick Reader. This book has the stories which became the movies Paycheck, Scanners, Minority Report and Total Recall. I read the first two stories and they're good. I'm hopeful that this will make me want to read more.

wow, i might have to check out a little P.K. Dick...I love all of those movies. Well, except for the one with Ben Affleck. I almost always love the other kind of paycheck in my life.

Miss you E!

I assume by "the other kind of paycheck", you're referring to Johnny Paycheck who sang the following words.

Take this job and shove it.
I ain't workin' here no more.
My woman just left and took all the reason I been workin' for.
Don't you try to stand in my way as I'm walkin' out the door.
Take this job and shove it.
I ain't workin' here no more.

Originally written by Mr. David Allen Coe

Actually, there's some truth in those words...
