Friday List

ONE

Something about the Healthcare Plan and the budget and it all working out--and Democrats are whooping and hollering and Republicans are getting all conspiracy about it, like the Dems have one set of books for the public and another set for themselves-- well, it cuts many ways here. Republicans are paranoid, by nature (at least your latter day, what’s-left-of-the-party-ones)—but it would make anyone paranoid if all you ever spent your time doing was worrying that someone less advantaged than you got something that they didn’t deserve.

TWO

Sometimes, when you get sick, it is best to relax into it. It has its own kind of Dengue Fever pleasure.

THREE

There are some damn fancy stores in Manhattan.

FOUR

Doing your own laundry is a good reminder of something, of what, I don’t know. But my momma taught me: Just let your good button-down shirts tumble in the dryer for only five minutes. Then, hang them up to dry on hangers, buttoning and straightening. You don’t have to iron later on.

FIVE

I saw a dog in a dog stroller today. I would like one of each.

SIX

As the days get shorter, we have to be grateful. We get to see the sunset even sooner than we did the day before. It’s fantastic.

SEVEN

Why do we write using “we”? There are so many assumptions with “we.”

EIGHT

I read, yesterday, in the NYTimes that after some experiments, they have concluded that evolution cannot go backward (at a cellular level). This is something we all know intuitively. I love, and sort of hate, when something you just kind of know is scientifically proven.

NINE

COMPELLED to get to ten?

TEN

I wish every great movie, show, art thing, dance were not all premiered in autumn. This seasonal stuff seems a little old timey, sheep-like. NO MORE SHEEP!
