ThingsOnMyPlateYou are on the archive wiki. The new wiki is here. so, now I'm a vegetarian - for rational, ethical reasons this not being the result of a miraculous vision, I'm still considering veganism, vivisection, conscientious consumerism, and other things beginning with v, on a case-by-case basis, possibly over french toast, even if the eggs are not necessarily free-range it's all craig d's fault, as his provocative biltong-eating while I was visiting that side of the office reminded me of some provoking essays on the topic, which I later discussed with katherine, who prompted my realisation that there was no longer an excuse to put off my decision the upshot of which is that my growing dissatisfaction with Stuff has evaporated, along with any plans I had of ever getting round to posting a guilty rant about my lack of agency (stamps out vestiges of angst regarding decision versus obligation, eliminating convoluted paragraph in the process, with minor nod at distractions, and yes I know that obligations and distractions are still a choice, but, dammit, angst... die... filthy beast...) anyway, in a kind of carnivorous summary of things I meant to post at the time:
and that was just one weekend - all the rest is what-I-(did/couldn't do at the same time)-next (e.g. fell asleep to live christian heavy metal, so I couldn't make al's toga party), soon to be lost by my phone datebook's four week memory, or news about other people, which you can find out for yourself (now that I've remembered I have it, I'm still figuring out my phone's camera - it's shoddy in low light) in addition to fry's burgers, I have work to do, a krakatoa concert to miss, again, a campaign LARP whose player count finally seems to have settled reliably, a UCT project to defeat, and a low-end ibook on which to do it all! with a power cord! (now that was an agonising wait) it's like a flash drive you can type on, although working in Mac OS (9) is like visiting a not-quite-parallel world, one where they haven't discovered the right mouse button
Comment: TMBG (by SynKronos? on 2005-03-04 13:07:51)Meh, they're alright. Super poppy. They get played on RadioKoL? all the time. One of the staples, along with Cake and Richard Cheese Comment: See! SEEEE!!! (by AndieMoore? on 2005-03-04 14:23:16)And you try to deny that you are a hippy goth. On a side note, ever mac I've tried (I can't remember if any where OS 9) plugging a two button mouse in results in two buttons. Ditto roller mice. Comment: No Surprises (by DrunkLove? on 2005-03-05 02:08:45)Somehow your vegetarianism doesnt surprise me. Next you'll be joining Greenpeace. :) What kind of camera phone do you have? And anything below OS X was apparently crap... :) Comment: Never Mind (by DrunkLove? on 2005-03-05 02:22:02)Read back through your blog and found out what the phone was, so no worries there. How did you manage to procure such a nice phone? ;) Mine is also crap in low light, but Sony Ericsson have just introduced a new 2 megapixel camera (the K750i) which looks pretty cool. Comment: Yay to the Vegies (by FuzzyTeddy? on 2005-03-05 14:54:48)We got another one ;-) Comment: whales are vegetables (by d@vid on 2005-03-07 16:38:21)well, I've decided that I deserve at least one more sushi outing; smelling bacon might prove painful but not tasting sashimi one last time would leave me emotionally hollow I procured the phone after an encounter with a salesman, nuff said and I think it's unfair to lump ibook users with goths, unless they dance the shiny quarter dance at mac conventions? and it's officially my sister's anyway (I'm lucky it's not pink) |
