  1. Adventures in Pickling and Cutting My Own Hair

    by , 08-13-2016 at 03:53 PM (Barmy Blue's Bland Blog)
    So, today I have begun an adventure in pickling. But first, I’m going to go on about my hair as it’s in chronological order this way.
    Since about late March/early April I have been a little obsessed with cutting my hair. I looked it up and saw pictures and videos of people who had done it and figured the results were pretty nice. I’m not looking for anything adventurous, just a basic trim.
    I’ve never liked going to the hairdresser. Even before I learnt that social anxiety is a ...

  2. Single-mindedness

    “Cave ab homine unius libri.” Beware the man of one book. Pliny the Elder

    This fine adage came to mind earlier today, when I was listening to a man who thinks that the Jews control the world, and that all evil comes from them (he thinks The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is non-fiction).

Religious zealots are of this sort and sports fanatics also, but sports fanatics seldom go to war over ...

  4. Under The Covers

    by , 08-08-2016 at 04:28 PM (Memories of the 28th Century)
    There I was in Starbucks about six o’clock this morning when I noticed that they were playing more covers, bad covers, mostly of mediocre songs. I asked a barista about it and was simply told that they had to play Starbucks playlists. The employees used to play some of their own CD’s, but that was banned. Apparently there is a problem with royalties. If Starbucks is trying to minimize royalties, then their playlists are only slightly successful, because they still have to pay the songwriter’s ...

    Peace be on all.
    The conditions of Muslim countries in the world are deteriorating very rapidly. Where is it written in real Islam to kill the innocent non-Muslims and Muslim? The rulers of their countries are not realizing their weakness and that anti-Islam forces are encircling them.

    According to my understanding, Muslim countries and their cherished clergies neither understand true Islamic teaching nor do they want. They deny Spiritual Reformer Imam sent by Allah the Exalted ...
