what is pure research according to vonnegut? “when most companies brag about their research, they're talking about industrial hack technicians who wear white coats, work out of cookbooks, and dream up an improved windshield wiper for next year's Oldsmobile."
"Here, and shockingly few other places in this country, men are paid to increase knowledge, to work toward no end but that." i wanted to read more of my book, but as i was leaving the servery, my roommate and ex-roommate showed up at the door asking where i was going. ugh. so i sat down with them, eating a second dinner 5 minutes after i was done with my first one, and i listened about the failings of democracy, how my viet ex-roomie has limited views and no validity in his arguments since he was trying to argue against plato's book, The Republic, without ever having read the book.
they went for a walk later after dinner. i decided to come back and study.
turns out, Andres and Adria were on the most recent podcasts of CIA. coincidence? i also listened to wait, wait... don't tell me again. old people making dirty jokes, ew.
human body parts, when examined separately into systems- SO hott. the workings of the retina, rods/cones, LGN, primary visual cortex, blue eyes. *drool*
would it be convenient to take the BART to oakland airport? my parents might be buying a plane ticket for me from either SF Int'l or Oakland. How long would a trip from, say, Embarcadero take to get to Oakland? MUNI from SFSU to embarcadero, and then BART to oakland?

that sounds about right (or you can get off at civic center, since bart's faster than muni even in the DT stations). then you'd take the timed airbart bus transfer from the coliseum station to OAK.
you can also take bart to SFO (down the peninsula, take the train that says "MILLBRAE/SFO").
what? failings of democracy? what does he propose? an autocratic society? perhaps communism? i don't understand these californians and their granola views...
