• Real-Time Workout

  

  Y’know, I’m starting to think various bookstores
  are attempting to get people into shape. They do so in very subtle ways, but it
  becomes apparent when you look around. For some examples, I will mostly focus
  on the Borders bookstore near my house, but I have seen other examples. To
  begin with, you have the doors. I don’t know when it happened, but at some
  point stores began putting in big, heavy doors. The doors at my store are only
  a little larger than the Brandenburg Gate and are composed of wood-paneled
  lead. You need to put some serious muscle into opening one of these doors. If
  you failed to eat your Wheaties that morning, you would probably lose a lung. The
  next item to note is how the store is arranged. They put all of the workout
  and… lewd books in the front because they figure the people who read those
  books get enough activity in their lives. They save the more intellectual
  (geeky) books for the back of the store. I generally enter the store and start
  walking, and about three hours later I can finally see the shelves of manga,
  computer books, and science textbooks appear on the horizon. Clearly, they
  think the people who read these books could do with the extra exercise. I
  should protest these abominations, but I don’t feel like getting up.

  This just in! The release date for Rune Factory has been (sort of) announced. It is currently set for a July 2007 release. More news as events warrant!
