some monologue.
ir's a sad day for politics when they decide to cut funding to education without attempting to streamline bureaucracy first or cut 'legal corruption'
Heidegger's Being and Time and his darling karzein and other strange german terms that cannot be translated without losing its real meaning.
oh my god the obscurity.
what the uk is experiencing now is blatant, blatant corruption. MPs using taxpayers' monies to take out mortgages of multiple homes -- after this fiasco the rule now stipulates that they cannot take out mortgages on second homes.
principally, what's the difference?

"how old sarah palin thinks the earth is"
"the number of times you have to break a mirror to get that many years of bad luck - 22.5. Math baby!"

" I tried to remember ordinary details, the sheet music beside Bella's bed, her dresses. What my father's workshop looked like. But in nightmares the real picture wouldn't hold still long enough for me to look, everything melting. Or I remembered the name of a classmate but not his face. A piece of clothing but not its colour.
When i woke, my anguish was specific: the possibility that it was as painful for them to be remembered as it was for me to remember them; that I was haunting my parents and Bella with my calling, startling them awake in their black beds."

"I listened to Athos's story of the origins of islands, how the mainland can stretch until it breaks at the weakest points, and those weaknesses are called faults. Each island represented a victory and a defeat: it had either pulled itself free or pulled too hard and found itself alone. Later, as these islands grew older, they turned their misfortune into virtue, learned to accept their cragginess, their misshapen coasts, ragged where they'd been torn. They acquired grace -- some grass, a beach smoothed by tides."
Fugitive Pieces, Anne Michaels.
i've decided that i'm too posh for straits times. i do >$5 newsweek, times and economist. they're clean, easy to carry around, and definitely better for the brains. and they don't make me sneeze.

"Living together means that we sometimes have to manufacture our own kind of happiness, because the world’s idea of it is out of sync with our reality."
