The scouts are not sure what you need to know. Help up help you.

But 30 minutes free in which to eat a ciabatta dipped in a north african paste, followed by more preparation.

Will the warrior stammer?

Why do they call them butterflies?

What is German for Butterflies? Butterfliegen?

I reach, I guess, for a tome of ardour.

A car-trip with Lahut and the procurement of some paper.

Lahut eats pitta bread.

I apologise to Hannibal, verily. But I will see this battle through.

May is the most verdant month, the ecstasy of birdsong, but already it begins to fade and I feel that I have not seen it!

And yes, Hannibal, this is self-indulgence of an unparalleled kind. Perhaps this is the point. Take the blog to the limit, make a record number of comments upon one’s own post and perhaps we will get to the true nature of the blog.

Or maybe, as Saleem says, this is just a burp. At any rate, I vow that once this final battle reaches its conclusion I will never repeat this process.

I wouldn’t mind speaking through one of those.

12 Hours till the final assault.

Lets take bets on the winner!

ps: this is just morefood for thought, no ego’s in the blogring .
PAX.

And mogogo is right. The Babcom should be used.

Lahut sings folksongs in a nearby room.

Sanisha, it is not meet and seemly to describe oneself as intelligent.

I prefer to be a simpleton.

Have you heard Octet by Steve Reich? It is so important that you get this from iTunes.

Check out what’s written about today, ‘the early light of the true morn.’

Better get talking on the Babcom!

a shower, to be followed by trip to shop to buy fruits.

Fruit, the most natural food given by Great White Spirit to primates.
Man, the techno-primate, uses tech to make smoothie.

Smoothie, the most perfect natural food for the techno-primate.

I will leave for battle in 70 minutes.

1. There are better, cheaper and larger collections of music than iTunes. See for instance http://www.allofmp3.com
(and yes, it is legal)

2. So you have a job interview, big deal, do you know how many of those Sal has had? (Oh wait, did I just diss Sal too?)
/Annoyed at the 30 posts just being Sarmad himself

Apologies to all those annoyed by my over-indulgence. I make promises to you!

A final discussion of strategy with Lahut. Shield is donned, sword scabbered, chariot summoned.

We make our final approach to the field of blood.

My impression was that these days most people were sitting in the middle class, between first and third; and all of those in the second have been effectively duped into thinking that, give or take, they’re actually alphas. So here is the illusion of the west: we’re all rich. But it’s rubbish. We get to feel rich because we buy more TVs then previously, and computers are cheaper, and we have mobile phones. Pesto; etc. But it’s New Subsistence: you can’t be western without a minimum of material hooks to hang on.

Herein comes your idea of living outside the law; interesting from someone who works in a court. Anyway, it depends whether we’re defining law as Kafka-esque The Law or whether it’s the looser law of the jungle; what is expected, what you need to get by in this world. At any rate yes, it’s possible that the subsequent decades will unravel very quickly and some new force will smash Steve Jobs’ big glass cube in New York; it wouldn’t be the first time they smashed stuff there.

No one is guarding the guards, you’ll say, and that’s the problem. But surely we needn’t distrust the guards, that’s a distraction: we must distrust ourselves.

Neocrats are hung between great trust and distrust of their own task; hence we argue and burp.
