After waiting . . . Oh God, when is it?

My stuff is supposed to arrive today. Finally. I’ll believe it when I see it. Maybe not even then. Hard to say what sleeping on the floor for a month does to your beliefs.

I’ve been wearing the same two pairs of pants and three shirts for  . . . I don’t know. But yesterday, the neighbour came over to find out if we had a bed and I answered the door, barefoot, holding a Chihuahua, wearing a wife-beater and bathing-suit. At 3 in the afternoon.

All my life, I’ve been hearing people say shit like ‘it’s just stuff’ or ‘simplify.’ Easy to say when you have your stuff. As for simplify, Thoreau can go to hell. Complications are what make life worth living. The dead are simple. And they stink.

Research finds our social skills may be defining difference between humans, apes: I wish we’d give up this search for a ‘defining difference.’ We’re apes. Some of use have less social skills than your average shit flinging chimp. Make peace with it. Have a banana.

Curing depression and super-charging cranial capacity with deep brain stimulation: A small current of electricity passed through the brain will make you smarter. Try it at home.

UF professor’s project allows people to feel the moon’s pull: While this is a nifty project, I’m sure the usual collection of flakes are already thinking about how the moon has gravity, influences the tides therefore astrology. Seriously, fuck astrology.

Robots Will Soon Assemble Your Ikea Furniture for You: Let’s just hope the robots aren’t from IKEA cause, if they are . . .

I’ll leave you with this. It’s pretty.
