Well, this is different.
Feb. 9th, 2005 11:48 pmAn update has rearranged my LJ client into new and interesting ways. *fiddles* Now with things in order (well, sort of), we can get back to the strange things that happened today.
There were none. Well, none that were strange. A friend celebrated her half-birthday today, I started writing a midterm paper, I might have done a tiny bit of thesis revision. I'll read tomorrow and do more midterm writing at work, I think. Mostly routine stuff.
My subcultures professor did say, though, that what we needed to do with our lives was find what all of the subcultures were looking for - the place that they sought, and that by studying those who came before us, we might figure out how to get there, or at least pick up a few methods. Hopefully, the meat will understand how to get it done. Maybe it needs a wake-up call from the contrabass saxophone to do it.
I do like the idea of working at a job you love - even moreso if it pays enough. According to this writer, who happens to be![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
przxqgl, it's possible - we can even keep some vestiges of the capitalist economy, so long as we provide basic needs for everybody. That way, everyone works at what they want to do and doesn't have to worry about how much it pays. If there are people that want luxuries, they can have them - so long as someone makes them. I suspect some sort of credit system will probably make its way in, but everyone will earn the same amount of credit to spend on their luxuries. It's like one of the utopias that I read about. Naturally, I can't remember the name of the book, but I think it has possibilities. Go read, since I'm theorizing additions to his system.
Speaking of theories, there's one, probably gaining strength, that the U.S. will soon not be the hegemon it was.
Alas, no homosexual-marriage decision will go unchallenged, it appears. Challenged, they are, again.
And if I don't go to bed soon, I'll fall asleep at work tomorrow. I might do that anyway - I'll aim for my lunch break.
