sweet dreams

October 10th, 2005

Dreams are never straightforward, are they? If you're a dream analysist (have to say I don't know what the profession is called, I should call their union), have a crack at this one..

I'm in the cafeteria (wtf) buying food. When I get to checkout, it turns out I don't have enough cash to pay for it (although I use cash about twice a year when I'm out of the country). I tell that to the cashier, she says "you're good for it" :wth: For some reason, I'm grossly dissatisfied with that and I frantically start to check all my pockets. Turns out I have the exact amont, not a penny to spare. The end.

Polska na mundialu

October 9th, 2005

null No i stało się. Polska pojedzie za granice do Niemiec na mundial w następnym roku. Ostatnio było marnie, z Korea i z Portugalia. Co prawda teraz skład jest inny i pozostałości tamtej drużyny nie sa szczególnie widoczne. Ale jest to osiągnięcie samo w sobie, mundial to żadna oczywistość a tu dwa razy pod rząd. Oby było dobrze..

nothing to see here

I love people who are religious about saving the environment, who also have a mansion consuming enough electricity to power a small car factory.

Just thought I'd share.

it feels stupid to ask stupid questions

Even if you have every excuse not to know the answer. Like if I'm talking to a person I just met who is from Sudan, I won't know the most basic things about their country or culture or anything. And frankly, I have ever reason not to know, because I've never met anyone from Sudan, I've never taken a class on Sudan, I've never read a book about Sudan. But if I meet a person from Sudan, I'll feel like an idiot asking what language they speak or what religion they have. Because if someone asked me that about my country, I would look at them funny. You're supposed to know those things. Yet sometimes you have no way of knowing.
