“the duration of an organism’s present, or of its various presents, will vary according to the natural contractile range of its contemplative souls. in other words, fatigue is a real component of contemplation. it is correctly said that those who do nothing tire themselves most.”

BREAKFAST BURRITO IS REALLY WHERE IT’S AT THO
The breakfast taco, like most iconic regional foodstuffs, is more of an argument, it seems, than a specific recipe, its precise contents dictated by family tradition and personal taste. Opinions on its construction are as tyrannical and precise as those about Philly cheesesteaks and Kentucky hot browns. The tortilla must be flour, and preferably homemade. Chorizo, if included, must be loose, fresh, Mexican style, not chunky Spanish. The finished product should, as a rule, be compact, streamlined, and understuffed, a svelte snack compared with the breakfast-burrito behemoths that have, until now, dominated morning menus up north.

“More interestingly, she found a third category of men, who were successful in terms of performance evaluations and compensation, but who actually worked fewer hours and were unavailable for the office on evenings, weekends and vacations. These men subtly and skillfully chose the projects and clients that would allow more flexibility — and surrounded themselves with kindred spirits who would cover for one another. But they had also learned that it was better for their careers to remain discreet about their strategy, and so they weren’t role models for the rest.”

Curious about Drake’s eating habits, I did a little research and came across this gem. The Polo Lounge in Beverly Hills — from his “Stay Schemin” verse — doesn’t sell Spaghetti Bolognese, but they do sell “Parpadelle” [sic] Bolognese for $36.
Fucking restaurant managers are so hopelessly stupid at all levels, it’s astonishing. And Drake needs to learn his pasta shapes, or is a very fussy orderer.

IMPORTANT DRAKE RESEARCH
The woman of the year 2000 will be an outsize Diana, anthropologists and beauty experts predict. She will be more than six feet tall, wear a size 11 shoe, have shoulders like a wrestler and muscles like a truck driver.
Chances are she will be doing a man’s job, and for this reason will dress to fit her role. Her hair will be cropped short, so as not to get in the way. She probably will wear the most functional clothes in the daytime, go frilly only after dark.
Slacks probably will be her usual workaday costume. These will be of synthetic fiber, treated to keep her warm in winter and cool in summer, admit the beneficial ultra-violet rays and keep out the burning ones. They will be light weight and equipped with pockets for food capsules, which she will eat instead of meat and potatoes.
Her proportions will be perfect, though Amazonian, because science will have perfected a balanced ration of vitamins, proteins and minerals that will produce the maximum bodily efficiency, the minimum of fat.
She will go in for all kinds of sports – probably will compete with men athletes in football, baseball, prizefighting and wrestling.
She’ll be in on all the high-level groups of finance, business and government.
She may even be president.
My Dad always urges me to “own the situation,” and to “live in a space of learning”—even when I feel I’ve deeply wronged. His point is that there is great power to be acquired when you eliminate the “I’ll apologize, if you apologize first” kind of dynamic. It’s not so much about being the bigger man, as trying to become a much stronger person.

Newt Gingrich holding an older woman’s nose.
If you think that mathematical objects are not in time, and mathematical objects don’t change — which is perfectly true — and then you’re always using mathematical objects to describe the world, you could easily fall into the idea that the world itself doesn’t change, because your representations of it don’t.
