Really fascinating music video showing the interconnectedness and complexity of our lives living on this technologically advanced global planet. In each moment of the day, we are touched by a thousand industrial and technological threads occurring all over the world, lest we forget it.
The song is “Remind Me” by the Norweigan band, Röyksopp.
Sunitha’s back in the country for a year or more. I couldn’t be happier! I Pownced about it earlier, but I decided it really was worthy of a blog post.
Today, I found out that Sunitha, one of my favorite people on this earth, has moved back to America (to Bloomington, Indiana) for a year or maybe more to finish her dissertation.
She’d been back in Bombay trying to get it written, but there were too many distractions there. We spoke twice today. It was so great to hear her voice, hear her struggles with getting work done during unstructured time (she knows my pain!).
I love this woman so much. I’ve missed her terribly. And now I’m going to get to talk to her regularly and actually see her IRL some this year. I’m so excited!!
I saw on Ellen many months ago that we use a million of those plastic bags (the ones you get everywhere) every minute. They aren’t recyclable, and that’s a bad thing. I’ve been trying to stop taking them whenever possible. Just found some info about how much damage they actually do. Read this, and bring bags with you whenever you can. And when you refuse the bag at the store, watch the clerk and make sure they don’t throw the bag you just refused away. They’re always trying to do that. Pisses me off! Down with crappy plastic bags. They are ruining the earth!
Please help me wish Xopher a happy, happy, HAPPY 40th birthday. He’s a great friend and a wonderful person on this earth. Here’s to (at minimum) 40 more healthy and happy years!
