They better make a combo bed/sofa/ironing-board one of these days!!

I have been away for a good deal of time, not altogether, but cybernetically and internationally I certainly seem to have been. Lately I have mostly been thinking and writing, apart from that however, not too much else. I am planning to see a film in the cinema on sunday, and in the summer I will probably visit quebec city, as I have never been there before, despite its close proximity to montreal, and the ease at which one can actually get there.

I have not been engaging in much photography work lately, mostly just photos of items that I am selling online, on ebay/ craigslist etc. I have essentially just been liquidating much of my old junk, not so much for a bit of extra cash but more just to get more space and in a sense gain a feeling of non-attachment.

I find it somewhat ridiculous and somewhat perverse how the computer and technology industries pour billions of dollars into an industry, or conglomerate of industries, which has essentially become purely hedonist, in that often these new creations are just improvements over previous extravagances etc. All the while, other sections of the worlds industries or elements, such as health care, and related items which are effectively necessities, not to mention warring and death, near-famines etc, which are not being attended to. The initial concept of capitalism was essentially that the needs of society would drive economic growth, however that has become so that the exorbitant desires and wants of society drive economic growth to unprecedented proportions, and in the end causing inequality overall.

It is unfortunate that my bicycle is actually inoperable right now, after having the repair estimate at around 120-130$, I might be willing to spend the money if it was absolutely necessary, but I will probably just wait a few months or so.

I am actually interested in buying a mac laptop, however beforehand I would like to sell this machine though, for around 400$, I have in fact put it up online for sale.
