… sucked?

Filed under: Miscellaneous

you know what sucked?
here’s what sucked.

I like apples cut up. I eat them w/ a bit of peanut butter. nice filling snack, healthy.
That’s what I’m eating right now.

I ate two yesterday. One in the afternoon, one at nite. Well, second time around. I cut them up using the knife I used before.

Except it wasn’t the same knife after all! It was the knife I had used when making dinner.
Chopping onions! So my apples tasted all oniony.

Now I like onions, but … yuck. That sucked. (more…)

… do I live here for?

Courtesy of weather dot com.

Current temp: -6 F. Feels like -27 F with the wind chill.

For you foreigner types, that’s about -21 C and -33 C respectively.

You ever bite into a chunk of really hot pepper or something and it doesn’t taste spicy, it just hurts? This is the tactile-temperature version of that. It doesn’t feel cold. It feels painful.

Forecast for tonite says dangerous wind chills approaching -30F. Low -12F. That’s -34 C and -24 C respectively. Tomorrow’s the same windchill. High -2 and low -15 F (-19 and -26 C).

Christ on toast.

Continuing to haphazardly reread bits of Foucault in line with the last few posts. (more…)

… is the exercise of a right?

Filed under: Miscellaneous

Or, what in the hell is a decision? Or necropolitics, for that matter? Keeping on following, although erratically, a thread from this discussion, I finally got around to reading Achille Mbembe’s essay “Necropolitics.” (Still need to finish that earlier set of Foucault notes; like those these too will be incomplete for now, just jotting so I don’t forget.)
