On peanuts and kings

Made the routine trip in the middle of the day to the local book store in search of Applied Cryptography, but yet no luck. I was told it would be arriving early next month but something tells me I might make a few more trips during the week. Just in case the shipment arrives a month early. I've always wanted to own a copy of AC and had even skimmed through the said book several times on my routine visits to the same bookstore without ever having bought it. Looking at the bright side, at least I get to obsess over something for a month or so. There has been a dearth of stimulating books/activities to obsess over lately and I fear I'm losing touch with my obsessive self.

On the subject of obsessions, I have been listening to cannonball back to back since morning. Its only a mild form of obsession so it doesn't really count.

This was intended to be a post about AC which somehow got spiralled into rant about my obsessions. The vicious obsession with obsession continues to pervade every aspect of my existence. I also notice that I have used the word "obsession" way too much in this post. From now on, I shall refer to obsession as peanut.

That's my never ending peanut with regexes coming into the picture right there. Please forgive me, for I am a weak weak man.
