... of the year. The truth will out though, as if you watch these people fill their bins on the day after Boxing Day you will see them dumping loads of this food into the bin uneaten.   The west gorges itself at this time of year. It is like some obscene binge where everyone eats far too much high fat high salt high sugar food all in the name of celebration. It is an orgy of consumerism. While ...

Vivid dreams day 4

"River of the Four Gorges". Starring Russel Crowe and Michele Phiffer. It's about these four survivors of an ill fated campaign into perhaps Scythian territory?

Tis the season

...the religion that is Capitalism: Xmas! When an old man in a red suit (a fat man, no less) somehow squeezes his fat ass down a chimney 1 (something most people don't even have anymore), gorges himself on cookies and milk, leaves behind shitloads of Stuff for good little girls and boys, and flies off in a sleigh pulled by his magical antlered minions.

I miss fiction

...Shra -- and when it started snowing heavily, Mommy had to drive Shra and me somewhere, while Al, Erik, and Daddo stayed behind and would leave separately. I was terrified of the snowy drive across the gorges... I woke up and was surprised and so thankful to find Erik with me. :) Not only are these my usual vivid dreams, but they're also dealing pretty heavily with fear, escape, threats, danger,...

Feeding timidly when he first set foot upon his crooked path, he now gorges freely as a leech might upon a hapless herd animal. Bloated in both ego and wealth as he has become in body, his appetites have equally grown apace. Having become indolent and complacent in his avarice,...

... for truly apocalyptic accidents; the usual example is Egypt, where a majority of the population could die if the Aswan dam ever goes, but a repeat of the Banqiao Reservoir Dam with the Three Gorges Dam would also be highly undesirable. It's interesting to watch the rediscovery of dirigism in the US. I am not as concerned about nuclear weapons proliferation as some (every nation should have a ...

Ignorance is still adored, All through these hard times

adfjkladsfjklasdfj BRB - just failing out of grad school because I would rather stay up late reading for pleasure than about Adaptive, Reuse, and Renovation for Historic Structures. Or write a 20 page description of the A.D. White House. (In my defense, I have been waiting for this book for like two fucking years. And I live in a place where I have to walk over a fucking gorge to get to class.)...
