Ah extroverts, spending their lives walking all over introverts and in their sublime self-satisfaction never even noticing.

In movies and TV shows when someone is kidnapped and tied up for hours and days they never seem to need to go to the bathroom.


How realistic is that?

This morning when I was getting ready to go out I was trying to match a sweater to the shirt I was wearing and it occurred to me that if you have light coloured shirts it helps to have dark coloured sweaters.  It just simplifies the whole process.


Why has it taken me so long to clue in to this?

Lately I've come to really hate food preparation and cooking.


I spent quite a bit of time today looking online for simple easy healthy recipes for one person.


I don't know how these people define "easy" or "simple" but nothing anyone has produced on a website matches my definition by a long shot.


I try to avoid prepared frozen entrees because they tend to be full of salt and fat and they also, even the "healthy" ones, invariably include things like peppers and onions and garlic and unspecified "spices" all of which tear apart my digestive tract.

If you're frustrated because there's no solution:


become part of the problem.

Movie: The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951)

I just rewatched this film.


Every time I do that I'm impressed all over again with just how good it is.

As I age I come to believe more and more that being conservative politically (Conservative in Canada,  Republican in the USA,  Conservative in the UK,  etc) is actually a form of mental illness.
