Hmmm. Wrong song

Did you see the pictorial spread in the Times about the College Point printing plant? It's quite amazing.

Apparently I am out of free previews on the times site this month, so no. Having driven by it thousands of times, yes it is quite impressive.

Careful, first comes cosy defence, then bitter hatred, then death.

Don't be old. Winter is the enemy of the old.

An Argentinian once told me that there is an expression in Argentina which pretty much states that old people have no concerns in summer. It's the winter that will kill them. Oh how I wish that I had thought of asking "so, what about the tropics"

Surgery recovery is fun...I have a vacuum strapped to my waist to help heal the hole in my tailbone area by sucking all the coagulated blood and stuff that wants to build up in there. And I can't sit. I can only kneel, stand, and lay on my front/sides. And I gave up the web for Lent which is why I haven't been on in a while.(Sundays don't count)

Have to live the next two days without my smartphone. Fell in a tub of water. Soaking it in dry rice to get all of the moisture out for the next day or two.

God, I really need my phone right now. Not want. Need. I use it for work.

My NS stats are not indicative of my OOC views. NS stats are meant to be rather silly. My OOC political and ideological inspirations are as such:
The Republic, by Plato | Leviathan, by Thomas Hobbes | The Confucian civil service system of imperial China | The "Golden Liberty" elective
monarchy system of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth | The corporatist/technocratic philosophy of Henri de Saint-Simon | The communitarian
ideological framework of the Singaporean People's Action Party | "New Deal"-style societal regimentation | Kantian/Mohist/Stoic philosophy

The way I've heard it is that it would be disrespectful to continue your Lenten fast on Sunday as every Sunday is considered a feast day in honor of Christ. Or something like that. And that's coming from a priest. Whereas Google has mixed opinions. Some Catholics say it still counts, others say it doesn't, I'm just going with what a priest tells me.

Also sleep is hard. I'm so used to sleeping on my back that I can't fall asleep easily when I'm on my sides or front...this recovery sucks...
