That man is the richest whose pleasures are the cheapest.
- Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)

To imagine the unimaginable is the highest use of the imagination.

Holding onto anger is like grasping onto a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else. You are the one who gets burned.

Most people are bothered by those passages of Scripture they do not understand, but the passages that bother me are those I do understand.

If you have any doubts that we live in a society controlled by men, try reading down the index of contributors to a volume of quotations, looking for women’s names.

There is a panic going on. Everything that should have been done a week ago is still not done yet.

I wish I wasn’t a last-minute sort of person sometimes. I know my belief that time is stretchy can drive my friends, family, and even me, sometimes, a bit mad. But it’s a bit too late to start worrying about that now.

Also, I think I need a haircut.

I’m not blogging right now — barely using the internet as I try and finish my assignment — but this deserves a mention, I got a new HP 2133 mini laptop.

Will post pictures of it tomorrow (must clean table…to look presentable).

And I’m thinking of getting a iMac to decorate my already crowded table of laptops and second monitors. More importantly I think I need to get a new IKEA table top. There is only so much weight a cheap chipboard table can take.

My complaints to Amazon were heeded and I finally got my books. Let me say this now, Alex Ross Rocks! Period!

I’ve just spotted that this is my 1000th post since I started this blog all those years ago. Wohoo!

Who knew I would be still at it? Must have something to do with my absence of a social life. Oh well, back to work.

Almost forgot, thank you folks for wasting your existence on this blog.
