Read a book or watch a ‘how to’ video on something you want to learn more about.

Street food in India. Fascinating and at the same time revolting. So much oil and deep fried food, sugar, white flour, really zero nutritional value stuff these poor men (and that’s all I’ve seen so far, no women) have to cook up. Makes me wonder how people eat healthy there – not on the street apparently!

 

 

Just got back from Costco. Long lines, no toilet paper, paper towels, organic canned beans and on and on. Outside, long lines at the gas pumps as people not only filled up their cars, but also their portable gas cans. People are stocking up big time.

Had a dream last night about Chess. Don’t remember much except a visual of lanes that were open and pieces that were undefended in a light blue highlight.

Want to remove stains off a plastic toilet seat? Soak it in bleach for a few hours. Done!

People are being born and people are dying ALL THE TIME! — that’s just the way it is. Perhaps it’s just shock that the news of a celebrity death compels so many to hit the forums and Facebook to express their “deep condolences”, “so sorry for your loss,” “he will be missed,” and other cliche phrases comment after comment. Does anybody care, really? I doubt it.

It’s the same for all the “He will not be forgotten!” posts (uh… yes he will). There’s only a small percentage  of extremely famous people — all who have had some lasting impact on our culture, that are “not forgotten” — i.e. Shakespeare, Bach, Einstein etc. If you’re not in that club, good luck.

Every year seasonal allergies kick in here. I get sneezing fits that usually start with an itchiness in my nose followed by an immediate need to blow my nose to get rid of the mucous. Not fun.

If you don’t know what you’re talking about, then please don’t pretend that you do.

You kick a cat, they’ll probably never let you near them again.
