... but you can't have Goldberry...
Feb. 4th, 2003 12:52 am"Sure, sleeping suits some,"
scoffed short, secular sovreign,
"some schmucks seek Somnus."
This was a haiku I wrote a bit less than a year ago, while I was taking French French Revolution. That was quite a class. I was, a moment ago, going through my files, looking at old stuff, and realizing that aside from journaling, I haven't really written anything in a while... freshman year, I spent a whole lot of time doing silly haiku, and before that, I was a lot more prone to writing poetry and the occasional bit of fiction... but now it's all about me. Hrm.
"I've been sleeping recently. It's upsetting..."
... I haven't been in the habit of sleep deprivation as much as I had been in past months this semester... perhaps it seems like it hasn't been necessary. I've been finding "don't want to get up" to be a much more common thought and ... almost worrying, I suppose... about when I'm going to fit in some time to pass out. Naps are common. It might have to do with the fact that on most days, bedtime's been pushed back until almost 0300. I think... that it's time to reclaim my non-sleeping self, to always be at every class, to be wired up as often as possible, and to organize time a good deal better than how it's been organized. Move zig.
I enjoyed this past weekend... we ate Really Excellent sushi at Ru San's, explored Piedmont Park, roller-skated, watched Shaolin Soccer at the Heathen Center, hung out with some friends, went back to the Heathen Center for church, explored Target, wrote some ( haiku... )
... talked about a whole bunch of different things, explored ... who people are and why they do stuff... and then early this morning, we headed out to the airport.
... so that was fun :) *laughs* I have a hickey... I'd never had a hickey before. Lisa (and Corey, on a separate occasion today) pointed it out, and she was amused.
I gave away more jelly today at our recitation... I think... that this is going to be a thing for every week, and I'm doing this ... because it amuses me, and because I can. No more, no less :)
I didn't run today, sadly... it sounds like a stupid excuse, but my foot hurts. I don't know why, just yet, but it's been hurting for a few days -- it's actually somewhat painful to step on it, if I put my weight down a particular way. It'll either heal, or it won't, and if it doesn't, then I'll ask somebody who knows stuff about feet to help me figure out why, and then it'll be good.
Ah, and we went to Publix, because I was out of Everything. But now we're all stalked up, and this time I got slightly more interesting coffee than I'd had before...
... and I was thinking about the whole deal with organic foods. This definitely merits some thinking and writing. Alright, so clearly, on an individual level, it's ...
Marty just came in and we talked about Mr. T for a bit, and about doing push-ups... he did 100 of them tonight. This is now part of my training regimen -- I'd been meaning for it to be, but now it's Official.
So it's clearly better for an individual to eat organic foods, produced by small farmers or even in one's own back yard. The problem with this is that there are six billion people on the planet. Can we, using organic methods, produce enough food for everybody? *blinks* So it seems like, how we're doing it now, if we really wanted to, if it were a priority, everybody could be fed. This would, of course, lead pretty quickly to a seven-billion-inhabitant planet, which would kick up our population growth another notch. So ... eh. Okay, exponential population growth aside, it seems like natural food becomes a luxury item... although I suppose that "organic" and "produced in large quantities" don't need to be mutually exclusive. I don't know. I really don't. What I do know, though, is that it takes a lot more than a calorie of vegetable matter to produce a calorie of cow, and there are Children Starving in China.
I should know more about stuff like this.
Okie, off to Squeak and possibly not sleep for a while... ah, and push-ups.
