I Love My Icelandic Nurse Practitioner

Even if we often spend the whole 30 minutes subjecting both recent anecdotes and longstanding issues of a befouled socioeconomic state to scalding socialist critique (a.k.a bitching) and forget to talk about how the meds are going.

Two Thoughts: One General, One Personal

  1. Why are we not now civil always? For what good reason?
  2. I am at war; physicality brings me peace.

Raffi on Money: ‘Beyond a certain point, what good does it do?’

From Raffi’s autobiography:

One day when our coffers were full and I was given another large bonus, I had a talk with Mike.

“Let me see if I get it,” I began. “If this money is invested, it’ll get more money, right?”

“Right.”

“And then? If I invested that successfully, there’s more money, right?”

“That’s right. Raf, what are you driving at?”

“I’m not sure. It’s just . . . what’s the money for? Beyond a certain point, what good does it do?”

I wasn’t really going anywhere with this. I was just frustrated with the idea of capital accumulating toward no apparent end. It was a concept that baffled me.

[I hear you, guy.]

To The Urinating Guy: I Meant It

Just passed a man peeing fairly discreetly (I didn’t have to see his penis, for one) up against a locked gate a little ways up my block. “Sorry,” he said. “It’s okay,” I said, and then called back, “but I appreciate your saying so.”

Why I Love Radios

The content you get is unique to each place (even in different parts of the same city), and in many cases you’ll find live persons/personalities (from college goofballs and community activists to LiteFM’s advice czar Delilah, a strong candidate for my next nemesis) all doing and saying different things for an anonymous, un-quantifiable audience. And you have to hunt for it with a dial and radial using a safe-cracker’s touch.
