Recently finished "Persuader" (a Jack Reacher novel), which I believe is the book that Season 3 of the show will be based on. Currently reading "Burn Book" by Kara Swisher, a long time tech reporter since the early days of the internet. The book basically dishes on all of the one-time wonderboys of the tech world who are now by and large a bunch of d-cks. After that, I have the "3 World Problem" trilogy on deck...not sure yet if I'll read them all back-to-back or take a break with something a bit less dense in between.

So take a look at me now, oh there's just an empty space And there's nothin' left here to remind me Just the memory of your face Ooh, take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space And you coming back to me is against the odds And that's what I've got to face

Well, I guess it's time to roll out my usual "Hey, look! New uniforms!" reaction...

Here I am again in this mean old town And you're so far away from me And where are you when the sun go down? You're so far away from me You're so far away from me So far I just can't see You're so far away from me You're so far away from me, alright

Saw my picture in the paper Read the news around my face And now some people Don't want to treat me the same When the walls Come tumblin' down When the walls Come crumblin', crumblin' When the walls Come tumblin', tumblin' Down Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah

You can surrender without a prayer But never really pray Pray without surrender You can fight Fight without ever winning But never ever win Without a fight

I am made from the dust of the stars And the oceans flow in my veins Here I hide in the heart of the city Like a stranger coming out of the rain The evening plane rises up from the runway Over constellations of light I look down into a million houses And wonder what you're doing tonight

Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer Came down upon her head Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer Made sure that she was dead

Don't let the sun go down on me (Don't let the sun) Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see I'd just allow a fragment of your life (Don't let the sun) to wander free But losin' everything is like the sun goin' down on me

What happened here as the New York sunset disappeared? I found an empty garden among the flagstones there Who lived here? He must have been a gardener that cared a lot Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop Now it all looks strange It's funny how one insect can damage so much grain

When logic and proportion Have fallen sloppy dead And the White Knight is talking backwards And the Red Queen's off with her head Remember what the Dormouse said Feed your head Feed your head

Panacea, passion pure I can't resist your gentle lure My heart will lie beside you And my wandering body grieves Another endless day Silhouettes of grey Another glass of wine Drink with eyes that shine To days without that chill at morning Long nights, time out of mind

Like a pair of vagabonds who wave between two passing trains Or the glimpse of a woman's smile through a window in the rain I can smell her perfume, I can taste her lips I can feel the voltage from her fingertips Net boy, net girl Send your heartbeat 'round the world Let your fingers walk and talk And set you free

Johnny told his mama, hey, 'Mama, I'm goin' away. I'm gonna hit the big time, gonna be a big star someday', Yeah. Mama came to the door with a teardrop in her eye. Johnny said, 'Don't cry, mama, smile and wave good-bye'.

Wilderness of mirrors World of polished steel Gears and iron chains Turn the grinding wheel I run between the shadows Some are phantoms, some are real
