February 26, 2003

Hmm. I think I'm on to something here...it's time to get down to bidness. I find that there are some clarifications I need to make about the post on 2/25, and because they have to do with the nature of evil, I do believe that yesterday's effort is the first in a series. More on evil, heading your way! But probably not today.

I will write about evil tomorrow, as I wait for the delivery of our new Maytag dishwasher, which will replace the old and--dare I say it!--evil GE dishwasher. Who thought that putting fancy membrane switches and electronic doohickeys in close proximity to high-pressure jets of really hot water and steam was a good idea? In any event, after smiting the heathen appliance with the righteousness of the Porter-Cable reciprocating saw, it is cast out. So I will contemplate the plumbless depths of anti-creation while my dishes are made nice and sparkling clean with little or no effort on my part.

Mmmm...meaningless void.



*sigh* I miss my dishwasher. I think I will buy one of those little portable ones.

The landlord banned those little portable ones from my old apartment building in Queens. The building was built in 1926, and had teeny-tiny pipes. So when someone would set up their dishwasher and stick the outflow drain hose into the kitchen sink, the sinks of everyone below them would overflow with mounds of soap suds...

Uh oh! I suspect the same would happen here. This is an old building with teeny-tiny pipes and when the neighbour next door does her laundry, my kitchen sink gurgles very loudly.

Oh - question for you, completely unrelated: what do you think of the winning design for replacement of the Twin Towers?

Oh, don't get me started on that. I saw the "design" this AM, and it looks like nothing at all. They picked the most non-descript, flaccid proposal that they could, probably for the express purpose of modifying it beyond all recognition so that what the powers-that-be want gets built. It's a pit in the ground surrounded by tall buildings, which is pretty much what's there now. Feh.

Of course, that's just my first impression.

I made a comment to your answer earlier today... it doesn't seem to appear.

Oh well. I only said I wasn't surprised that you hated the winning "design." I thought they all sucked... I want you to post a rave about the TT!

Rant. Not "rave."

Yoiks.
