Day 68

So Jeremiah is sick, again! I hope I don’t get it, his throat is very swollen and pussy on one side, I don’t know what that means but it looks disgusting. Marianna gave Pignic a blinging pink sparkly collar and painted her tail all sparkly with fingernail polish, its pretty cute. This is so if she does run off people will know she is a beloved pet and not a meal. Um hmm, I raked a ton today, I haven’t for a while, it feels so good though, everything looks nice and it’s a good workout. After work I went to the store and got Jeremiah some liquids and sick pills. We borrowed some movies from Marianna so that has been nice to sit and watch a movie. The weather is overcast and muggy today, as opposed to the extreme heat and clear skies we had the past few days. I started this book called “The Best American Science and Nature Writing of 2009” its really good so far. Here’s some cool quotes from the first article ( I feel like a dork because who quotes sources in something other then a school assignment : )

“We seem to have come to a collective delusion of grandeur, insisting that all of us are “free” to be a conspicuously greedy and wasteful as the most corrupt of queens and kings”

“Our national faith so far has been ‘There’s always more.’” Our true religion is a sort of autistic industrialism. People of intelligence and ability seem now to be genuinely embarrassed by any solution to any problem that does not involve high technology, a great expenditure of energy, or a big machine.”

Anyway it’s pretty enlightening and revolting in reference to our pathetic “progress” as the human race. We also watched the other night the behind the scenes of Man vs. Wild. I remember a while back they are like, oh he’s a fake he has a crew, blah blah blah. But he actually does everything you see, and so do his crew of two, only two, and sometimes they don’t even go with him, it was crazy. Uh, everyday I do or see something and go, oh I can’t forget to blog about that, well I forgot it all again, it must not have been too interesting. So yeah this has been a minimal update. I’m sure there are cool things happening in my day but its slowing down and getting hum drum now. At least today with the cap weather and Jeremiah being sick and all.
