relief and stuff you didn't know.
my Mom gave me some money, so i actually got to eat today. i've been eating the past couple days, but a few eggs, rice, and potatoes for a body that usually needs 3000 calories or more to maintain itself makes for a nasty situation. but i ate meat today, and a $3.75 (after exchange rate) pizza. it felt real good.
talked with the German who reminds me of my old high school friends and the Czech at length during a birthday party - it was really just a standard grill, but on the foundations of celebrating someone's birthday. good times.
and i decided to look up Richard Stallman's controversial personal site, and found two things very interesting:
it's too late for the most of you to participate in the encouraged boycott, but J.K. Rowling's lawyers believe that "There is no human right to read." what really gets me is the preceding sentence: "One sympathises with the reader from a non-legal point of view, but property rights often trump civil liberties." smells like capitalism!
speaking of capitalism, i buy Citgo gas because it's cheap and i don't know enough about cars to think that Shell is inherently better for my engine. turns out there's a sound political reason to buy from Citgo, too! their gas comes from Venezuela!
and in case it wasn't clear, i'm really not very political. i'm NOT encouraging you to boycott Rowling's works like some out there want you to - but i should hope you're as outraged as i am about the laws governing written thought these days. and Citgo... man, i've ALWAYS bought from Citgo! i just like their gas stations! haha
ya, so... i should go to bed or something.
3 days until i walk on the asphalt covering American soil.
