Octopus Appropriately in Bowl

Calamari has just been taken off the menu.  Octopus utilizes coconut shell.

PS: I just realized calamari is squid. But I'm still convinced not to eat the cousin of the octopus or the octopus.

Not All Business

You can't run a government like a business because people are not commodities.  And here's a little secret: they're not (primarily) consumers, either.  We have a social structure comprised of many smaller social structures and they require management and coordination, but there is so much more to human existance than the exchange of goods and services.  When you make people into commodities, when the market crashes, the people have the experience of being devalued.  What a cruel hoax.

Sedementary Formations

I'm a romantic at heart, but deep down I'm a cynic.  The good news is: deeper down, I'm an idealist.

Precisely Why I Don't Care to Twit:

Miley Cyrus said it best:

"My reason [for shutting down Twitter] was because you write what you're doing at that moment, but at that moment, what you write is never what you're doing because you're too busy tweeting about it." (Quoted in Seventeen magazine, 2009)

About Holiday Shopping

Sunday.  Post Thankgiving Sunday.  No Black-Friday for me; I'm not interested in shopping when everyone else goes.  Christmas is coming, yes, and shopping is a requirement because the only people who truly appreciate the need to make small pacts to forgo the expenses are the ones with no kids. 

But, as soon as the pre-holiday dread passes (usually mid-December), the holiday focus will shift to spending time with friends.  When the shopping fairy comes, I will go with her and shop during the dinner hour on weekdays.  That's the time to go - when everyone else is hungry you can get the jump on the lines.  Another piece of advice: avoid the mall.

Ho ho oh!
