I have some regular readership from that town.



I don't think too much of the E.U. either. Just the possibility of being in the E.U. has had adverse consequences for Croatia.

Oh a funny story on NPR 'Punk Shuei' I love it! I consider Fung Shuei to be a load of hooie! I don't mind a neat space but the beliefs that the placement of furniture is going to affect your future in some way is just nutty superstition. I don't think it's brilliant to have things in a mess, BUT I get a little annoyed with the Western uncritical fad for all things Eastern. Almost nothing annoys me as much. There are legitimate European traditions that get rejected in this process. I know I come off as anti-Western sometimes, that's not entirely accurate, I'm anti- corporate modernist. I don't like badly designed stuff, whether it's clothes, furniture or dishes, but anything that's brilliantly designed is wonderful.
For example, those brilliant interlocking plastic plates! Trinity turned me on to those, they are a really ideal place to put leftovers, The fact that there's never a problem about lids or plates is brilliant! They are recycleable plastic, so I reuse them over and over again. I haven't thrown one out yet! They are great for carrying things to parties too, or from parties. They come in a lot of different colors, there's bowls too.
So when someone designs something new that is useful, I like and use it. What I don't like is anything that adds to the sum total of uglyness and impracticality.
The guy who started 'Punk Shuei' said people actually come to him to find out how to be DISORGANIZED! Hey I should ask him if he's selling franchises! Especially lately, while things are disorganized as I get rid of stuff I no longer need or want.
School contributed a lot to it, there are only three things you do if you are a student, homework, eatting and tasks associated with eatting, and sleep if you have done all the homework. Even with online classes, you wind up with a LOT of paper you hadn't counted on!


It has been very hot, and I have to get up very early to air the house and do kitchen things like wash the dishes. Soemtimes it's really hard to wake up that early because beign that hot makes it hard to sleep. I dont' like being cold and I don't like being this hot.

Comments:
I found it interesting too. The British have some of the most efficient police in the world. Having visited there too, I think they have pretty good Customs and Immigration service too.
Probably he lied to people about himself. It's not that rare a thing. Happens in post war situations all the time, and only a real insider might suspect something being off.
 
In most cases the assylum seekers are a better bet than the criminals, the U.S. does a TERRIBLE job on that schore.
I felt that I personally was dealt with in a good way by Customs and Immigration at Heathrow. The guy helped me with my landing card and was perfectly professional.
Targets on stuff makes for ineficiency. Sometimes 'goals' and 'targets' are a VERY Bad thing. It's all part of modern Western magical thinking and superstitionj.
 
insurance has done the same sort of thing here, and anyone who is on welfare has shortsighted care. acrross the board there is a REAL lack of preventative care. Quick fix phoney baloney stuff like that pisses me off too! I think your hobby horse has a bit of company!
 
yes it is nice, but it's too hot for me here! I used to handle heat a lot beter when I was younger!
