My appetite is back, cum a vengeance.

Got new windshield wipers. The back one still isn't meeting the surface of the back window. Gonna try fiddling & then maybe get professional advice there.

I don't mind Hugo Chavez saying "Go to hell, gringos!" That thing about calling Condi his "little girl" was a bit irritating. But this grab of expanded executive powers is troubling. I'm not saying it's more troubling than W's. Just that it's troubling.

What else goes on. Pfizer to lay off 10,000, closing 3 sites in Michigan. Antidepressants linked to increased fracture risk. Leftover chicken chipotle refrieds in Lisa's fridge. (Hongry.)

Of all the foods never served in the home of my nuclear family of origin, refried beans must be right up there on the list of comestibles most often consumed by me since. You got any of those? Something you eat often that was unheard of in your childhood consumption? Others of mine include asparagus, tortillas, and garlic. Though I guess I don't eat a whole lotta garlic. And tofu and soy milk and stuff like that, of course.

Back to work. (It's a long work day.)

i wouldn't pretend i haven't benefited ( <--- dang, that really looks like it should have 2 Ts) from our happy Disney isolation, at least in some personal psychological ignorant bliss. nor would i deny that i still have a naive sentimental desire to believe in high concepts and big ideas about some aspects of what you might call "freedom" in living here, and in some certain parts of the history of govt here. i am vaguely and uncomfortably, but not painfully, aware of my own inclination/desire to delude myself, and thus less surprised to think of how that might come about in some of my fellows. nay, in most.

to face the injustice we perpetuate, even simply economically, is not a happy thing, presuming you're hoping to keep some version of a conscience intact. though i imagine stupor---comfortable, busy-consuming stupor---is even more a contributing factor in our heads-up-our-butts way.

wonder if anon is still reading along here.
