No idea about the US, but in the UK libraries are shutting at an alarming rate. I wouldn't be surprised to see a "for profit" model develop in the next 5/10 years with punitive fees and memberships prices comparable to a gym.


Oh yeah, they shut down 2 of them in my town alone. And we tend to float through poor economic thingies because of the oil.

Funny thing about that though. My mom's cousin moved here from Serbia. He was planning a 3 month trip. A few weeks after getting here he called his wife. "Will you come to America," he asked, "No," she said. "Ok, goodbye." He said.

Anyway, he used to be a drunk, but gave it up for weed. He loves Alaska, says "What else is to do except...weed...and pornography?" I tell him I am leaving the state soon. He says, bad idea, those people down there, they will starve to death.

Yeah, our food supply at any given day totals about 4 days worth. If the economy well and truly tanks I think I would prefer to live in a place where food grows in the ground instead of just crying when you lay it down in the soil.

Tangent out of nowhere. Wboooooo!

Hello, everyone.  I have a few minutes while I'm dropping off paperwork at the office.

The eye is apparently saved, though complications have made it a little untrustworthy in the short run.  But I won't lose my vision in it, at least not permanently.  Right now, for example, if I close my left eye, I see normally.  If I close my right eye, I have what appears to be a shoggoth superimposed over the world.  HAR HAR!  WHERE ARE YOUR GREAT OLD ONES NOW? 

Foolish mortals.

In any case, I expect to be gone for at least another week.  I'll try to get online when I can.

Love & Kisses,
Cyclops
Congratulations on not losing your eye!

One weird thing since switching from weed to nicotine: I am hungry and enjoy eating.

Weed affects the area of your brain concerned with digestion, it is used to help anorexics and such sometimes. But I am now fairly certain that it can easily inhibit the natural function of that area. I want to eat, this is not very usual for me.

I like it!
Part of it, I think, is I trained myself to enjoy weed more than food. Every time I have fasted, I smoked.

While waiting for my son's bus I saw the Bing mobile drive by.
So I'm expecting to turn up on a street view sometime in the future :/

And so Sita became another faceless thing, these entities lining the streets of our future, less real than a photograph that's disintegrated and shot through the air. A shapeless blur barely noticed against endless miles of pavement and strip malls.

I have noticed that for me personally, in spite of the "munchies" trope, weed is most definitely an appetite suppressant. Booze, on the other hand, will cause me to eat a school bus.

Oh, yeah. There are some studies that show that people who smoke pot regularly have a thinner average than people who don't. It probably has some sort of regulatory function.
