red eye
Long and interesting weekend with a bunch of good topics to write about, such as Xavier Rudd, Ishmael by Daniel Quinn, and perhaps Chinese family dynamics. However, all those will have to wait until my brain works again.
Some quick stats…
- number of red eye flights this weekend: 2
- hours slept (over past three days): 15
- hours I will spend at work today: 8
- productive hours at work: 0
- number of cousins I never knew I had: 8
- current IQ: ~84

I read Ishmael a couple years ago and now I can’t view those starving-children-in-botswana television ads with any sympathy. I like his natural rules thesis, but it wasn’t enough to make me crack my copy of “The Story of B”.
I did however get real sick of the Ape’s use of separation anxiety as a weapon. Opposable thumbs and a real self-righteous I’ll-run-away-with-the-circus threat.
