Because the Dalai Lama says so.

Sleep is the best meditation.
-Dalai Lama-

Hell yeah! It is even approved by The D.L. To all of you who say that sleeping is a waste of time, SUCK ON THAT!

The things that affects us stand outside us.
Change your attitude and then, as a
ship entering harbour, you shall find calm.

-Marcus Aurelius

Yup, so I am at home eating porridge with fried eggs on Valentines Day because I got stood up for dinner. But that's okay, really. After a while you kinda get used to it. I'm not sure of what to write really, since I wasn't planning on doing any of it tonight but, life's like that, you know. so, anyway I was reading a book by Gwyneth Lewis about sailing in a yatch.

For those of you who don't know what 'parking' a ship is like, here's an idea. Bringing in a ship to 'park' is called marine pilotage and the people who do it are called Pilots.

Consider the folowing:

• The marine pilot is trying to manoeuvre the largest movable man-made objects on earth.

• He drives them down relatively narrower channels than the driver of a road transport is required to do.

• It is not uncommon to have a 80,000-tonne displacement vessel powered by as little as 8,000 horse power. This equates to one horse power per 10,000 kg. Its a bit like having to drive a Mack truck and a semi trailer powered by a lawnmower engine and then park it in a parking place with a meter clearance at each end.

• Now to make it interesting, let's simulate leeway drift [the effect of wind on a ship] by making the truck slide sideways at one km per hour, and the current by making the parking place move along the road. We'll give you two smaller side-on lawnmowers to help push the truck sideways into the curb but, like the truck they too are slipping and sliding.

• Sounds too easy doesn't it? Lets add one more dimension: we won't give you any brakes, we'll make you slow the truck down by causing the wheel to spin backwards, and when you do so, you have to let go of the steering wheel, because large ships do not steer when going backwards.

• Finally if you mess up, we'll throw you in court and make you justify why you should have a job.

Sounds like fun, innit?

A Fasting Rat

After much deliberation and reflection, I have decided that I will go vegetarian from the Second day of Chinese New Year for one week.
To all of my friends, please do not tempt me by dangling 'bah kua' in front of my face.
I will kick you. In the crotch.

A Cup Of Drink At Night

ML said this a while ago:

I like to stay awake at night
don't you think it's very peaceful?
like a cup of drink, everything has sunken to where it's supposed to be.

That is the most profound thing I've heard this week, and in a week of emotional stress and needless drama it was really a welcome relief.
