Happiness Day 15
Well, I got a good night of sleep last night after some good conversation. Peaceful.
I awoke today still kinda sore from the run on sunday, but well rested. not a bad way to start the day.
pretty slow at work today. I'm back doing trading for a while, so my stress level will probably go down some. Still working on the options stuff too, feeling pretty darn productive. There's something about getting in a couple hours with a spreadsheet, that just makes it feel like I've accomplished something.
Double stamp day at maki means yummy sushi and miso soup, plus I almost finished my second freebie card!
Some prarie home companion to wind down the evening tonight.
Yummy indian food for dinner, probably not great on the calories, but the taste buds are thanking me.
I finally found the full text of that dali quote from a couple weeks ago, it is from an essay on the paranoiac critical method called 'the rotten ass' or 'L'Âne pourri'. Will share more on this later.
Until then I'll throw in a couple Paul Erdos quotes that have made me smile:
"God has a Book where he maintains the best proofs of all mathematical theorems, proofs that are elegant and perfect... You don't have to believe in God, but you should believe in the Book."
"I hope we'll be able to solve these problems before we leave."
Oh, And I've been totally loving this cheever quote I found on a marsh sign through facebook:
"Advice to my sons:
Never put whisky into hot water bottle crossing borders of dry states or countries. Rubber will spoil taste.
Never make love with pants on.
Beer on whisky, very risky. Whisky on beer, never fear.
Never eat apples, peaches, pears, etc. while drinking whisky except long French-style dinners, terminating with fruit. Other viands have mollifying effect.
Never sleep in moonlight. Known by scientists to induce madness. Should bed stand beside window on clear night, draw shades before retiring.
Never hold cigar at right-angles to fingers. Hayseed. Hold cigar at diagonal. Remove band or not as you prefer.
Never wear red necktie.
Provide light snorts for ladies if entertaining. Effects of harder stuff on frail sex sometimes disastrous.
Bathe in cold water every morning. Painful but exhilarating. Also reduces horniness.
Have haircut once a week.
Wear dark clothes after 6 p.m.
Eat fresh fish for breakfast when available.
Avoid kneeling in unheated stone churches. Ecclesiastical dampness causes prematurely gray hair.
Fear tastes like a rusty knife and do not let her into your house. Courage tastes of blood. Stand up straight.
Admire the world.
Relish the love of a gentle woman.
Trust in the Lord."
