I want to intern with the Amish, seriously. The process of making things has become so fractured, the labor so divided, that I really have no idea how a lot of things are made. There are processes, textures that you can't get by any automated machine process that are going to become extinct. It's like losing a language, you can't mimic something with a faster process if it is gone completely.

I use the amish as an example, other machine aided craft processes are being lost as well. Jesse James is so amazing to people because, it's something we have forgotten. We no longer take personal responsiblity for the objects we use. what can you say "I made that" about. It doesn't happen, things come pre-packaged, homes for example, look at the suburbs; food - frozen lasagna?; We use objects and throw them away when they break. They function as magic boxes, push the button and it works, with no real idea of what goes on inside.

It's Thanksgiving and I've been hanging out with my family. Here are my conclusions, my brother and sister may be in the same gene pool, but we're definitely doing different strokes. As compared to, Diff'rent Strokes which I only know about because of I love the 80's. From what I can tell, it was about two black kids and a rich white guy. This, however, is about three middle class white kids. A slightly less interesting plot structure, but I'll do my best.

I'm pretty much the least succesful person in my family, and I'm alright with that I guess. My sister is graduating high school this year, the valedictorian, lead in school play, senior of the month, etc. My little brother is in seventh grade and is the quarterback, for the seventh and eighth grade teams (eighth, by the way is a really weird word).

...I played football, by played I mean I weighed 120 lbs and got to run the plays in once in a while. That's what recievers do in middle school football. They recieve information to jog in and tell the quarterback, not brown leathery things with white laces. And as for musical talent and public performance, they pretty much scare the shit out of me.

ah, and that is about that.

The way this semester is going, I should buy more hooded sweatshirts. There's just something about it, when you've been up till four am, walking the 4 blocks to class seems really hard, your head is pounding, and a nasty flu is creeping down the back of your throat, the hooded sweatshirt is there for you man. Rock it with a hat to hide the unwashed hair and bleary eyes and some birkenstocks or flip flops if laundry has been falling a little low on your priority list and you don't have any clean socks. No need to put on clean pants, you passed out/slept in the ones you had on yesterday. It'll save time, they already have the wallet, keys and belt in them.

You're Colombia!

You do a lot of drugs, and these have kind of distorted your view of
reality, to the point that everyone looks like an enemy.  You keep trying to restore
order over your schizophrenic world view, but you don't even know which goal is your own
and which is someone else's.  You're pretty sure someone needs to be punished for all
this, but who that is changes all the time.  Things would be a lot better for you if
you switched to coffee, or even to decaf, but all this money would be hard to give up.

Why Katie is wrong: We should not wipe out all males and start over with a female dominated society, because . . .

"However imperfect society may be, we should measure it against the cruelty and deprivation of the actual past, not the harmony and affluence of an imagined future. We are fortunate to live in a society that more or less works, and our first priority should be not to screw it up. [ . . . ] And since no one is smart enough to predict the behavior of a single human being, let alone millions of them interacting in a society, we should distrust any formula for changing society from the top down, because it is likely to have unintended consequences that are worse than the problems it was designed to fix. " - Steven Pinker, The Blank Slate

His argument is a somewhat better than mine, which was a little more along the lines of "that's a crazy feminist thing to say."
