Dieting.

My pal Will and I got lunch at La Sirenita yesterday. Good burritos. Will said he really can't (for aesthetic reasons, I think) eat the same meal more than once a week. I said I could probably eat the same thing all the time if I had to. I wondered which one I'd like more: 21 different meals in a row, or 21 of the same. So I gave both of them a shot. I don't know which is better. All I know is that I'm REALLY FULL.

A warning sign.

I'm pretty sure that Nova Scotia used to be tilted more north-south than it is now. Anyone else notice this? Nova Scotia is tipping slowly to the right. Watch out.

That money stuff.

I don't understand a lot about economics, and I found this short explanation of the current crisis to be very helpful. It was geared towards a 14-year-old. It was just about right for me.

(Indirectly brought to my attention by my good friend and a smart fellow, Christian Neal McNeil, who keeps a much more scholarly blog than I – it is this: The Vigorous North)

About me.

Blah blah blah things about myself that I wonder if I have in common with other people blah blah blah trying to explain myself in ways I can't in a face to face conversation blah blah blah wasting time blah blah blah trying to make people laugh blah blah blah at me or at themselves blah blah blah.

Websites that aren't about me:

• The Mason-Dixon Line
• The Devil's Dictionary, by Ambrose Bierce
• Purple

Websites that aren't about me either:

• Menthu, Egyptian falcon-god of war
• The Fourteen Holy Helpers
  
• Curcubita maxima
• The Saint Elias Mountains

Second thoughts.
