Hey you know what? Unbleached #4 cone coffee filters are 50 cents more expensive than bleached #4 cone coffee filters. That means, I’m paying more money for less work, time, and materials. Crazy!
But I bought them anyway, because I’m responsible, and I realize that even if iI am sane and reasonable and logical, the world is not, and you know? We all have flaws. I can love something even if it’s not as sane and logical and reasonable as I am. I can love the world anyway. We’ll just have to figure out some way to get along. And if getting along means dishing out an extra 2 quarters for 100 unbleached #4 cone coffee filters, well, so be it.
I learned yesterday that 3 squirming, wriggling eight year olds can all fit on my lap at once.
I have no problem lying to small children, and recently told them that I eat babies.
I'm really, really picky about vegetables, and milk.
I watch late night talk shows just so I can scorn them.
Thinking about the book as a response to living through something traumatic, and losing faith is what was basically a religion, make the book far more digestable.
I don't know..I'm no advocate of Mao, but it seems irresponsible. Anyone who uses the [...] in quotations that much is cutting something out.
The problem I have with it is that if I am going to read an 800 page book about anything, I want to be an expert when I am done. And I don't know what is true or not in that book.
