Reaction to Random Catalysts

It was not too many years ago I remember seeing a commercial stating the wonders of plastic. Of course, it was sponsored by the Amercian Plastics Council ( I do not remember the name precisely). Now plastic bags are so politically incorrect, that I suspect such a commercial would make not positive... Sign in to see full entry.

Yesterday on the computer I was surprised and annoyed with was happened when I was looking at my blogs. Gobbleguke dotted itself in my blog texts only. Where there were supposed to be spaces in many of my texts there instead were "A" letters with upside down wings overhead. Where there were supposed... Sign in to see full entry.

I overheard in a news report today referring to a Muslim suicidal bomber as a 'martyr.' That is a warped definition if you ask me. This is very different from a Christian who stands up for his or her beliefs and is even willing to be tortured, lose limbs, and suffer an excruciating death. That is... Sign in to see full entry.

My moving situation alone entails many factors, so I cannot pretend to address and breach all the factors that go into moving in general. I am moving from one apartment to another. Downsizing.

My weekend routine has been to listen to CBC radio. But when the Jonathan Goldstein program, Wiretap, comes on, I turn it off. He annoys me. He makes me just want to say "Oh, shut up." Why? A book I was reading today helped give me insight into my annoance. The book, The Anthologist by Nicholson... Sign in to see full entry.

Many people, I am sure, would feel at loss if they didn't have TV. They watch reality programs, cop shows, sit-coms, talk shows, etc. But I know people, including myself, who never converted the TV set to digital. We are a group of people who use our TVs as a monitor for DVDs. Then, of course, in... Sign in to see full entry.
