I may have previously called Crush my girlfriend and ruined the mystery of our internet and trivia romance. Damn. Sorry about that. In my own defence I was slightly delirious. With love.*
Work is fucking fantastic with a slight temperature though. Nothing makes sense in a kind-of drugged-out way. Wicked.
Zeitgeist sucks today. Sorry.

- Lind on current Middle-East crisis. Lind is one of the US analysts that developed the theory of Fourth Generation War:
For the first time, a non-state entity has gone to war with a state not by waging an insurgency against a state invader, but across an international boundary ...
I think the stakes in the Israel-Hezbollah-Hamas war are significantly higher than most observers understand. If Hezbollah and Hamas win—and winning just means surviving, given that Israel’s objective is to destroy both entities—a powerful state will have suffered a new kind of defeat, again, a defeat across at least one international boundary and maybe two, depending on how one defines Gaza’s border. The balance between states and 4GW forces will be altered world-wide, and not to a trivial degree. - And while we're there: Marine Small Wars Manual.

How many drugs were involved in that Butterfly Ball! I remember that from the 80s, but had no idea about LSD when I was 6. I have been troubled by the fact that no one except my brother and I seem to remember a whole lot of 80's cartoons - when Star Blazers. came out on DVD I finally was able to prove that I hadn't invented it!
I would have been in the market to sell my Yamaha DT200R dirt-bike until a few weeks ago, but my partner has got a job in a town that is dirt-bike heaven so I think I'll be getting it going again and re-kindling my love of playing in the mud with a 2-stroke.
The same thing happened to me with Star Blazers! I was obsessed with it but noone else knew what I was talking about.
Dirt bike, eh? That's an idea.
I once wrote a 2500 word essay on The Communist Manifesto in 2 hours and got an A.
It was complete bullshit.
(Essays I'd spent five weeks on always got Cs).
