Here is a topic that never gets old in blogs or in real life. That is the topic of rearranging a living space to better suit your physical and emotional needs. A certain anonymous companion found it hard to believe that you can rearrange dorm room >10 times but in fact Rocky and I did just that and them some.
I interrrupt this broadcast with some breaking news : PASHA MY CAT IS LITERALLY BUGGIN OUT @ ! She is an indoor cat, former pet store queen , who has little experiece with nature. SHe 's now crying because she chased a fly around the room SMASHED it on the wall and doesn't understand why it won't move anymore....ISn't this an important stage in a every young being's development( when they learn MORTality and maybe even MORALITY - ok maybe not applicatble for cats) ?
Back to rearrangements , they took place big time yesterday in my apartment and where a big success. A more open feel for summer and the couch now at an angle to face a redwood tree outside instead of an apartment wall. by kojak

Brideshead "Revisted"
Recently my woman-friend came home with some materials lended to her by a friend. The materials were: 1 (one) novel "Brideshead Revisted" by Evelyn Waugh (a man), one (1) feature length movie: "Brideshead Revisted", 4 dvds comprising the box set of the television series "Brideshead Revisted".
My first thought is: what a bizarre name. The name implies that this might be a sequel so I was wondering if we were going to have to watch Brideshead, just "Brideshead" after all this. In fact no. This was just the real title. The story concerns a... well. Actually its really long and epic, so I can't say much about it here. Other than that there is a teddy bear called Alloicious that is in the TV series and not the movie. The other observation is that Brideshead is a huge huge huge palace that supposodley ( I know that is horribly misspelled, but I don't have time to go back and change it) this one single family lives in. The message of that last sentence was supposed to be that THEY USED THEY SAME HOUSE IN THE MOVIE AND THE TV SERIRES> SO IS IT A REAL HOUSE OR DID ONE JUST BITE THE OTHER ONE"S STYLE> STICK THAT IN YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT.

Things that give me "Mixed Feelings"
Things that give me "Mixed Feelings"
1. The arial font
2. This is serious. Mockingbirds. I am by nature an animal and nature lover, yet the many sounds of mockingbirds are tumultuous to my ears, most especially when they occur in early morning hours. I admire the ability of these birds to mimic other species, but are they also not "Nature's Car Alarm" which will not be shut off, and screams out, pay attention to my infinite variation, I am truly a master of all voices?
3. Receiving free printers from people. I have befallen into this subtle trap many a time, and do not doubt that if you are a friend or acquaintance of mine and you have gifted me a printer I am surely grateful. And yet, let us look at this issue a little more deeply. Why, I wonder, was this printer being disposed of in the first place? Surely there was something at least remotely unsatisfactory about it. I have no printer, yet who is to say that this particular printer will make my life better. If I am made to believe that "it functions just fine, it may just need some ink" I will avoid its use until a key moment, when rushing out the door, I need it to work. And lo it does not work even after many downloading of drivers, various USB type cables and a multitude of efforts and high emotions exuding from me
4. Twitter. I joined this, and... I think the thing is about these 'social networks' is that by agreeing to take part you are agreeing to split your self into different pieces. Twitter makes this especially evident in that it eternally poses the question: "What are you doing?". Obviously if you answer the question you cannot be doing anything but typing, unless you are en route somewhere and still able to mobiley access, but still, you are typing. So if you answer the question you are implicitly lying. The eternal question becomes rhetorical and it must be replaced with answers to "What have you done? What will you do? Or more accurately, What do you think? These answers are then pasted into a history. It is understood that this history reflects at best tangential and limited tidbits from your life, but it still forms a picture of your identity. There are those who post only helpful links, those whose personality whims reign supreme etc. Each person must adopt a philosophy of self-representation in response to the ever looming anti-question "Why should we care?" And yet there is some sort of potential for unregulated discemination of information that seems good there too..

it doesn;t matter how often we post
'cuz you're either with us or against us at this point. This is not a blog that is looking for short term hype "WE AINT TRYIN TO HOP IN AND HOP OUT , KNOW"W"IM"SAYIN***LONGEVITY**WORD" If all my post are getting too META well too bad beacuse that is just the plane I"M On right now . IT:s all about reflection and not too much about bricks and mortar phenomena for the time being (Maybe nexttime)
That said I would like to note the passing of a blog that is close to my heart. Being EASTERN in stlye means they stay closer to buddhas word about not being PERMANENT with these final words. As for the truths impermance, it is not yet clear if they apply to this blog ^(*&^I'll get back to you on that
