“ Slow, patient thinking about hard and abstract questions might have lost its appeal for young people, but that’s not to say that the next generation won’t rebel against this one, as have all generations thus far. Recently, at a party, a young woman said to me, out of the blue: “You know, I’m really sick of how shallow and unserious everything is now.” Me too. I find it impossible to be a cultural pessimist though because I can’t imagine the next generation won’t rebel against the trivial, hollow, bullshit that’s charmed my generation. ”— Aristophanes “Clouds” & the case against philosophy | The League of Ordinary Gentlemen

“ Tom meets Jane. She's pretty and seems interesting to talk to. Tom and Jane start haging out and talking more and more. Tom develops an attraction to Jane, and one day tries to kiss her. Jane tells Tom she doesn't think of him that way and she wants to remain friends. The next few weeks contact between the two falls off. Jane starts fucking an outlaw biker ”— The Ladder Theory - it looks as if written by a frustrated 16 year old, but I can't stop laughing at this simplistic explanation for all man-woman relationships

esad“ "Groundhog Day" is a film that finds its note and purpose so precisely that its genius may not be immediately noticeable. It unfolds so inevitably, is so entertaining, so apparently effortless, that you have to stand back and slap yourself before you see how good it really is. ”— Roger Ebert on Harold Ramis' / Bill Murray's "Groundhog Day". This made me rewatch it, and now I want to start over and watch it again.

A lesson learned from a boy at the laundromat
Tonight at the laundromat, there was a boy with his mother. To kill time they played a game. The boy was by misfortune always loosing. He got terribly upset every time he lost and started crying in the end, not wanting to play the game anymore. He reminded me a lot of myself when I was younger. I couldn't stand playing a game and losing. Later I discovered the joy of playing without needing to win. Indeed some of my favorite game I do not recall winning (among them Bohnanza and the settler card game). One of the best game nights I've ever spent with friends was playing a game that could not be won at all (100 blank white card). One day this boy will hopefully learn the joy of playing to play, not playing to win.
Transposing this to my recent experience in life makes a lot of sense. I started doing research because I liked research. I went abroad to do more research and learn more because I enjoyed it that much. I got caught in a climate of wanting to succeed and wanting to build up a career. Pursuing the latter only led to frustration and despair. I started to hate research. I've now refocused, re-discovered my joy in doing research. I feel better more relaxed, more motivated and thus will more likely succeed. Whenever I get caught wanting to win, I hope I remember the lesson I learned from the boy at the laundromat: Play to play, not to win.

If you have a lonely glove, tucked away somewhere in the back of a drawer, then why not dust it off and turn it into this adorable chipmunk softie.

Hi
I opened the screen door yesterday and my cat got out and has been missing since then so I was wondering if you are not to busy you could make a poster for me. It has to be A4 and I will photocopy it and put it around my suburb this afternoon.
This is the only photo of her I have she answers to the name Missy and is black and white and about 8 months old. missing on Harper street and my phone number.
Thanks Shan.

Dear Shannon,
That is shocking news. Luckily I was sitting down when I read your email and not half way up a ladder or tree. How are you holding up? I am surprised you managed to attend work at all what with thinking about Missy out there cold, frightened and alone... possibly lying on the side of the road, her back legs squashed by a vehicle, calling out "Shannon, where are you?" Although I have two clients expecting completed work this afternoon, I will, of course, drop everything and do whatever it takes to facilitate the speedy return of Missy.
Regards, David.

Dear Shannon,
I never said I don't like cats. Once, having been invited to a party, I went clothes shopping beforehand and bought a pair of expensive G-Star boots. They were two sizes too small but I wanted them so badly I figured I could just wear them without socks and cut my toenails very short. As the party was only a few blocks from my place, I decided to walk. After the first block, I lost all feeling in my feet. Arriving at the party, I stumbled into a guy named Steven, spilling Malibu & coke onto his white Wham 'Choose Life' t-shirt, and he punched me. An hour or so after the incident, Steven sat down in a chair already occupied by a cat. The surprised cat clawed and snarled causing Steven to leap out of the chair, slip on a rug and strike his forehead onto the corner of a speaker; resulting in a two inch open gash. In its shock, the cat also defecated, leaving Steven with a wet brown stain down the back of his beige cargo pants. I liked that cat.
Attached poster as requested.
Regards, David.

Dear Shannon,
Having worked with designers for a few years now, I would have assumed you understood, despite our vague suggestions otherwise, we do not welcome constructive criticism. I don't come downstairs and tell you how to send text messages, log onto Facebook and look out of the window. I am willing to overlook this faux pas due to you no doubt being preoccupied with thoughts of Missy attempting to make her way home across busy intersections or being trapped in a drain as it slowly fills with water. I spent three days down a well once but that was just for fun.
I have amended and attached the poster as per your instructions.
Regards, David.

Dear Shannon,
I don't have a cat. I once agreed to look after a friend's cat for a week but after he dropped it off at my apartment and explained the concept of kitty litter, I kept the cat in a closed cardboard box in the shed and forgot about it. If I wanted to feed something and clean faeces, I wouldn't have put my mother in that home after her stroke. A week later, when my friend came to collect his cat, I pretended that I was not home and mailed the box to him. Apparently I failed to put enough stamps on the package and he had to collect it from the post office and pay eighteen dollars. He still goes on about that sometimes, people need to learn to let go.
I have attached the amended version of your poster as per your detailed instructions.
Regards, David.

I know, but that one is cute. As Missy has quite possibly met any one of several violent ends, it is possible you might get a better cat out of this. If anybody calls and says "I haven't seen your orange cat but I did find a black and white one with its hind legs run over by a car, do you want it?" you can politely decline and save yourself a costly veterinarian bill.
I knew someone who had a basset hound that had its hind legs removed after an accident and it had to walk around with one of those little buggies with wheels. If it had been my dog I would have asked for all its legs to be removed and replaced with wheels and had a remote control installed. I could charge neighbourhood kids for rides and enter it in races. If I did the same with a horse I could drive it to work. I would call it Steven.
