a sentence or two on a few things:
1. i saved a kitten today, and i felt like a fireman. i've always resented firemen, but i never had any real reasons until i read
this slate article about them a while ago. then i adopted all those reasons as my own. (interestingly enough, i saved it while delivering pizzas, a job which is at least 5 places more dangerous than firefighting.)
2. there are a lot of bugs in the house where i live. bugs of all kinds. just before i sat down to write this, i was in the bathroom taking out my contacts, before which i washed my hands. there were a couple bugs in the sink. i drowned them, but right after that, i saw in the mirror the strings on the scrubs i was wearing, and i thought they were bugs and jumped. earlier, a spider walked by my face and creeped me out. something has to be done. but what?! (the perfect place for an interrobang)
3. i switched to a new web browser the other day, and while doing so decided to clean up my bookmarks. the main point was to add some sites dealing intelligently with economics. i spent more time doing this than i meant to, but with poor results. most of the journals i read in school are no longer available, and, to my surprise, most people who write online about economics are either conservative or just don't know enough to be interesting. maybe the former wouldn't be a surprise to others, but economic theory is the basis for the rational leftism i do.
4. havana splits redux has taken a beating the first two weeks, yesterday at the hands of two of the meanest women i've had the displeasure of meeting.
