It isn't so much that I read daily. It is more that I get nervous and irritable if I don't have anything to read, regardless of whether I'd read it.

I refuse to eat Pringles on ethical grounds; potato flakes are an abomination. Their tortilla chips, though, I thought might make sense. Alas, they are oversalted.

The US government returned my tax payment, simply because I thought it was 2003. Cruel, making you look at lots of forms that all say 2003 on them, and then expecting you to know it's 2004.

Still not sure about this whole exercise thing. Rode my bicycle to Bedford and back again yesterday, and all day today I felt uneasy on my feet. Though, it must be admitted, I slept well. And it was easier than it was the week before. Same endless pageant of small children, dogs, and other people who aren't quite sure about this whole exercise thing, along with a scattering of healthy people wearing silly clothes. The healthier they were, the sillier the clothes. Perhaps because they're going fast enough that they dont really interact with the rest of us. They probably have their own fashions, their own culture, their own civilization, only accessable to people who can keep up a certain velocity.
For some reason, I am particularly well disposed towards the children who totter about oblivious to the dangers that surround them. They are generally accompanied by a harried, high-strung parent. I don't know why I find this so cute, but there you are.

I feel an irrational surge of jealousy whenever I hear of or from anyone in New Zealand.

Doonesbury was quality once, as the lovely online archives revealed to me one month, when I was sadly underemployed and undermotivated. I sat down and read the first 7 years. This was the closest I've ever come to grasping the scale of things, of the relationship between ordinary, everyday time and History. It's a bit like trying to keep a beat that's longer than your attention span.

Strangely enough, I made it all the way thought Black Hawk Down, but stopped Three Kings halfway through. Apparently I prefer my visually ostentatious political propaganda to be official. Or perhaps it is simply part of my growing aversion to anything that agrees with me.

The phrase "go peck a rock" came to mind today. I have no idea where it came from.
Edit: Later, I realize that it is almost certainly from that farmyard non-Garfield cartoon that Jim Davis did at some point. Someone used it to dismiss a chicken.

I am no longer pleased with the hidden title, so now it's just mergansers.

Ling now has a blog. The disease spreads. For those with more bandwidth than they know what to do with, I second his animation recommendation.

I am somewhat at sea. Middle-Earth references are now acceptable; people assume that non-geeky strangers will understand them.
