ONE BLOG TO RULE THEM ALL
In case someone hadn't noticed, I don't really write here anymore. My main blog is as of today on my main site. It's kind of more focused on my art/work. Whee!
Lunch: Something resembling onigiri
Ilan and I had this discussion about what's the best part of sushi. Ilan insisted that it's the fish, whereas I think the best part of sushi is the seaweed. Second is the cucumber and third is the rice.
The fish, to me, is a much too fleeting experience - one moment it's there, the next it's gone. Of course, this is the whole point of sushi. It's a fleeting experience, much like viewing the cherry blossoms in spring or being a young samurai who is killed in battle.
Still, I like the reliable seaweed, cucumber and rice. You can always trust at least one of them to be there in any type of...

Ilan met some nice people yesterday. One of them mentioned that his girlfriend works for eBay, doing French customer support. Soon she won't be working for them anymore, though - they are in fact flying her down to Morocco to teach Moroccans to do her job, so that eBay can sack their "expensive" European employees and hire new people in a country where they can pay lower wages.
Maybe she should not only teach the Moroccans how to do customer support, but also how to fight for better working conditions. With capitalism being global, the workers' struggle needs to be global as well!

(Only for Windows users XD ...)
Rules: Open the folder "My Pictures". Then open the sixth folder inside that folder. Then grab the sixth image in that folder and post it on your blog.
Okay, the sixth folder in my "My Pictures" folder is called "Gulleryssland" ('cutie-Russia'). This is the sixth image in there:
I don't remember which city this is from. Could be Petersburg. And stupidly I didn't even take a note of the photographer, although I usually do when I save photos off the internet. But in any case I want to live in that tower!
