but i'm sure at least that he WILL be after i finish earning 200,000 neopoints. then i can buy the stupid baby paintbrush. gotta love capitalism. it exists even in the fantasy settings i languish in.
oddly enough, i don't like it in my science fiction. it tends to corrupt my vision of the future as an anarchy. i like living in the now, this is the peak of capitalism. from here on it can only decline.
am thinking this is the best time to air my grievances about the local textbook industry. antonio go is hitting the media again.
i want to polish this and send this as a letter to the PDI editor. i know i should try to do more with it, but my priority is speed. the deped already promises to fix the textbook errors, and as the link above says, the partidong manggagawa is already urging for a probe... but i never had much faith in government machineries.
however, i wonder if this is still necessary information. need other people's input first. is this saying too much, should i be anonymous, should i not send the letter? please help...

here are links to some of my all-time favorites, discovered through the comm:
my current favorite poem is "Sweetness" by Stephen Dunn. Dunn has also employed one of my all-time favorite ways of describing poetry:
[...] Laugh at yourself, laugh at this poem, at all poetry. Come on:
Good. Now here's what poetry can do.
Imagine yourself a caterpillar. There's an awful shrug and, suddenly, You're beautiful for as long as you live.
in addition to these i discovered richard siken recently, though i'm not sure i can count him in with my all-time faves just yet. his "A Primer for the Small Weird Loves" simply affected me like wow.
the powerful first stanza is what most people often quote, but i personally love these two:
keiohwai texted me this last night while i was sliding in and out of delirium:
Bhex's AoA fansite was able to obtain original art used for one of the covers of Unbelievers Unlimited in an auction held at the 5th annual NWA event last Oct.
psychic press release, what? i'd sure love to see this gorgeous original cover art bhex was said to have obtained (and to know exactly how much bhex apparently obtained it for :P)!
