Call me Monty Python

my goodness look at those pythons...what ...

so my brother is becoming a social activist! im so proud. He's written a violent letter of protest to the school about a terrible course! yea transformative pedagogy! i think i want to write some letters to people, a letter writing campaign. maybe i will wirte open letters to no one in particular. it would be nice

but im here today to think about civic design and city planning, and subdivision construction. Namely, why are subdivisions not built with the modern pastiche of their outward appearance? i mean they look freeking sweet, all uniform and tidy (okay my distaste for subdivisions aside) they hav the potential to be total bastions of modern, progressive, sustainable design, and yet they are still all built with waste and sewage systems that are modeled after the same post revolutionary french cities...like my freeking goodness. the french have some pretty sweet ideas, but like that was one idea 300 years ago, i think its time to stop paying homage to the brilliance of the french. [in case you were wondering this whole argument and idea comes from my proto-revolutionary brother...but i think its a good idea and so im talking about it now]. Anyway, imagine a whole subdivison with grey water systems already constructed into sewage systems, with solar development and garbage processing tanks that can synthesis and transform garbage for either more effective transport and disposal or into composted waste. sweet. it could be so sweet. (sigh...so sweet)

okay im going to go see a play, cause i like plays now.

yeah for plays.


ps i put my knee out at practice yesterday, so im going to get my ears repierced...im not playing rugby this season *weep like a baby*

peace
