so i had to take a break from "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" in order to pick up another book for my history class. the professor wanted us to do a book report on something that pertains to the curriculum: history post 1945. since we just covered the "counter-culture" of the sixties, i chose "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test". it's about Ken Kesey (author of "Cuckoo's Nest") and a bunch of hippies, bikers, and musicians that jumped on a bus and ran around the country dropping LSD as often as possible. definitely an interesting read, espcially when Tom Wolfe, author, attempts to describe the feeling of an acid trip.

Acid trips suck. I had one where I thought Fester (remember him?!) was Jim Morrison. No bueno!
fester, Jim morrison?!?! wow. haha! did he have hair, or was he a bald jim morrison?
I don't remember, to be honest! It wasn't good, that's for sure. And I think I remember going to some park and thinking all the leaves on the ground were broken glass. Needless to say, I don't do drugs anymore!
