Achieving Happiness

11:30am  Flexing my synapses…there!

Right now only banalities come to mind. How extreme is this — politics on one side, silliness on the other.

Okay, so maybe not silliness, but they’re certainly not things that would hog the front page.

My husband keeps hoarding books. It’s like a disease with him. He’s like that demented house-elf Kreecher in Harry Potter. Kreecher keeps stowing away mementos and soveiners (did I spell that right? heck, I bet I didn’t) of the Black family, a clan of pure-blood wizards who favor Voldemort and his dark campaign to cleanse the magical world of half-bloods and those of Muggle-descent.

But my husband is not demented. He’s just an overly enthusiastic reader. For the last three weeks our conversations have been punctuated with exclamations and praises for Isaac Asimov and his contributions to science-fiction and literature in general.

Right now I’m thinking of apples and mangoes and strawberries and that wire-basket of rambutan I finished off last night (yep, I feel a little ill. That was a lot rambutan, man).

Then it’s back to work.

The next day. 1:09 PM

The national govenrment will serve noodles to school children.

What about the parents? The children go hungry because their parents are without the means to buy food for sufficient meals.

How can one not HATE this government that keeps projecting itself as a caring and compassionate institution when it truth it’s doing its darnest to make sure that the people are kept starving and destitute? A shocking 80% of next year’s budget will be automatically appropriated yet again for foreign debt servicing!!!

Noodles?! Aaaaaargh!
