"In accordance with the principles of doubthink it does not matter if the war is not real, or when it is, victory is not possible. The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. The essential act of modern warfare is the destruction of the produce of human labour. A hierarchical society is only possible and the basis of poverty and ignorance. In principle, the war effort is always planned to keep society of the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects. And its object is not victory over Eurasia or Eastasia, but to keep the very structure of society intact". - George Orwell's 1984

LIFE - Updates

I have fallen off the wagon when it comes to coffee...:-( I'm basically back to having a cup a day. 50% of the time it is because I simply enjoy a nice cup of coffee and the other 50% is because I need it for a perk up. So at least I'm not having three a day.

Additionally, I have now done some pretty ruthless culling against my RSS feeds. I have chopped out a bunch of them that were funny when I found them, i.e. lolcats, etc, but have become too much work to keep up with the flood with little reward, i.e. the signal to noise ratio in these has tended towards the noise side as of late. I've kept the Failblog because it never fails to entertain. What remains is some of the heavy hitters though, e.g. MSNBC's Countdown and Democracy Now! which are basically an hour each, each day. Who's got time to watch two hours of news each weekday (Let alone regular NZ news on telly)? And when to I watch The Daily Show? Never any more really. Now When BSG starts up I will make the time! Hopefully when we move, Margaret and I will have a little more time to watch some of the programs we used to watch. We got so used to the telly being in the bedroom, that since it was moved back to the dining room, we don't really watch anything in the evening.
